Managing individual ESXi instances
Hi list, I'm new to the CloudStack platform and I'm wondering why the platform does need the vCenter API and can not use ESXi directly, Can anyone elaborate on this? Are there any proposals for adding ESXi integration to CloudStack? Thanks, Ivan
Re: Managing individual ESXi instances
Привет Иван, You will need vCenter to run ESXi with CloudStack. You can run KVM, XEN or LXC without any vCenter like solution. If you want vCenter like solution to XEN or KVM, look into XenCenter or oVirt, both open source, free and comparative in features to vCenter.

Re: Managing individual ESXi instances
Hi Ilya, Thanks for the answer. I understand that for now I need vCenter. I'm interested in making CloudStack able to work with ESXi directly (i. e. making source code changes). Probably I have to ask this in the CloudStack development list.
