Description: managing cloud instances for Eucalyptus
16
EUCALYPTUS is an open source service overlay that implements elastic
17
computing using existing resources. The goal of EUCALYPTUS is to allow
18
sites with existing clusters and server infrastructure to co-host an
19
elastic computing service that is interface-compatible with Amazon's EC2.
21
Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs
22
To Useful Systems - is an open-source software infrastructure for
23
implementing "cloud computing" on clusters. Eucalyptus Systems is the
24
pioneer in open source cloud computing technology that delivers hybrid
25
cloud deployments for enterprise data centers. Leveraging Linux and web
26
service technologies that commonly exist in today's IT infrastructure,
27
Eucalyptus enables customers to quickly and easily create elastic clouds
28
in minutes. This "no lock-in" approach provides users with ultimate
29
flexibility when delivering their SLAs.
31
Eucalyptus is more than just virtualization. Along with building virtual
32
machines, the technology supports the network and storage infrastructure
33
within the cloud environment. Eucalyptus works with multiple flavors
34
of Linux including Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Debian, and CentOS. Eucalyptus
35
currently supports Xen and KVM hypervisors. These tools are meant to
36
be CLI compatible with the ec2-api-tools.
