The dsa-research group (http://dsa-research.org) is pleased to
announce that a stable release (v1.0) of the OpenNebula (ONE) Virtual
Infrastructure Engine (http://www.OpenNebula.org) is available for
download under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. ONE
enables the dynamic allocation of virtual machines on a pool of
physical resources, so extending the benefits of existing
virtualization platforms from a single physical resource to a pool of
resources, decoupling the server not only from the physical
infrastructure but also from the physical location.
MAIN FEATURES
The OpenNebula Virtual Infrastructure Engine differentiates from
existing VM managers in its highly modular and open architecture
designed to meet the requirements of cluster administrators. The last
version supports Xen and KVM virtualization platforms to provide the
following features and capabilities:
- Centralized management, a single access point to manage a pool of
VMs and physical resources.
- Efficient resource management, including support to build any
capacity provision policy and for advance reservation of capacity
through the Haizea lease manager
- Powerful API and CLI interfaces for monitoring and controlling VMs
and physical resources
- Easy 3rd party software integration to provide a complete solution
for the deployment of flexible and efficient virtual infrastructures
- Fault tolerant design, state is kept in a SQLite database.
- Open and flexible architecture to add new infrastructure metrics and
parameters or even to support new Hypervisors.
- Support to access Amazon EC2 resources to supplement local resources
with cloud resources to satisfy peak or fluctuating demands.
- Ease of installation and administration on UNIX clusters
- Open source software released under Apache license v2.0
- As engine for the dynamic management of VMs, OpenNebula is being
enhanced in the context of the RESERVOIR project (EU grant agreement
215605) to address the requirements of several business use cases.
