Release Notes

I. Intro and Description

VCL, Virtual Computing Lab. The VCL can be many things, first and foremost it is an open-source system used to dynamically provision and broker remote access to a dedicated compute environment for an end-user. The provisioned computers are typically housed in a data center and may be physical blade servers, traditional rack mounted servers, or virtual machines. VCL can also broker access to standalone machines such as a lab computers on a university campus.

One of the primary goals of VCL is to deliver a dedicated compute environment to a user for a limited time through a web interface. This compute environment can range from something as simple as a virtual machine running productivity software to a machine room blade running high end software (i.e. a CAD, GIS, statistical package or an Enterprise level application) to a cluster of interconnected physical (bare metal) compute nodes.

Also using the scheduling API it can be used to automate the provisioning of servers in a server farm or HPC cluster.

The release supports provisioning compute nodes using

  • xCAT 1.3 and 2.x
  • VMware Server 1.x and 2.x
  • VMware ESX 3.5
  • VMware ESXi 4.x and 5.x
  • VMware vCenter
  • KVM
  • Virtual Box

II. VCL Roadmap

VCL 2.3 (this release)

  • Service deployments
  • Allow for additional connect methods for environments (port, other protocols, etc)
  • Added framework support for libvirt
  • Added support for KVM
  • Added support for OS X under ESX
  • Added support for VMware VCenter
  • Added multilingualization to frontend

VCL 2.4

  • Improve additional connect methods
  • NAT support
  • Remove requirement for 2 NICs
  • Support for Spice remote display protocol
  • Scripted installation
  • Support for ESX OS for end users
  • Initial support for EC2 API and OpenStack

VCL 2.5

  • Power management
  • Improve cluster reservations
  • Service deployment configuration management
  • Initial support for Libcloud

VCL 2.6

  • develop tools for managing both system and user storage

With each release, we'll be working toward making VCL easier to install. As part of our move to development at the Apache Software Foundation, it is an obvious goal to create a community of users and more developers around VCL. Bringing in more developers should become easier as VCL becomes easier to install.

III. Getting Involved in the ASF VCL Community

There are five ways to become involved in the ASF VCL community.
