CloudStack is an open source orchestration platform that enables the coordination of physical and virtual resources (compute, storage and networking) to provide and elastic cloud computing environment environment (similar to Amazon EC2).

Features

  • HyperVisor Agnostic - use single or multiple hypervisors in a single cloud - (hypervisor, KVM, VMware, Hyper-V in development)
  • Self-service web UI - Allow users to self-provision infrastructure via an easy-to-use web interface
  • Amazon EC2 compatible RESTful API - Take advantage of existing Amazon Web Services knowledge and tooling to manage CloudStack clouds.
  • Access Control - Provide roll-based access to users and admins, single sign-on, delegate management of domains to other administrators, authentication via LDAP.
  • Usage Metering - Track usage by individual or by projects
  • Completely Defined Cloud Offerings - Define processing, memory, storage and networking as individual offerings

Benefits

  • Easily use and modify as an open source project (ASL 2.0)
  • Extensible via a pluggable architecture (network, hypervisor,storage)
  • Improves agility by reducing time to deployment for infrastructure
  • Isolate network traffic quickly with Software-Defined Networking options (Networking-as-a-Service)
  • Provide failover via multi-zone architecture (this is a benefit over some other OSS clouds)
  • Vibrant multi-vendor and user community to provide both commercial and peer-provided support, integrations and services
