| # About Apache CloudStack |
| |
| Apache CloudStack is software designed to deploy |
| and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly |
| available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) |
| cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of |
| service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many |
| companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering. |
| |
| Apache CloudStack currently supports the most popular hypervisors: |
| VMware, Oracle VM, KVM, XenServer and Xen Cloud Platform. |
| CloudStack also offers bare metal management of servers, |
| using PXE to provision OS images and IPMI to manage the server. |
| Apache CloudStack offers three methods for managing cloud |
| computing environments: an easy to use Web interface, command |
| line tools, and a full-featured RESTful API. |
