OpenNebula Cloud on Ulitzer
Future enterprise data centers will look like private clouds supporting a
flexible and agile execution of virtualized services, and combining local
with public cloud-based infrastructure to enable highly scalable hosting
environments.
The key component in these cloud architectures will the cloud management
system, also called cloud operating system (OS), being responsible for the
secure, efficient and scalable management of the cloud resources. Cloud OS
are displacing "traditional" OS, which will be part of the application stack.
Flexibility in Cloud Operating Systems
A Cloud OS administers the complexity of a distributed infrastructure in the
execution of virtualized service workloads.
The Cloud OS manages a number of servers and hardware devices and their
infrastructure services which make up a cloud system, giving the user the
impressi... (more)
As part of its exploitation strategy, Telefónica I+D has decided to release
as Open Source a number of components developed during its research on
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Clouds. These components will be
integrated in the Claudia Platform that will offer a Service Management
toolkit to deploy and control the scalability of service among a public or
private IaaS Cloud. Telefónica I+D chooses MORFEO Project to release the
software because it guarantees the access to the results of research beyond
the end of the project.
These components will continue evolving and p... (more)
Ubuntu Workshop at Cloud Expo
April 23, 2009 - Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) has been released today
bringing highly interesting new features, specially in the Cloud Computing
and Virtualization area. The new Ubuntu server distribution includes two
complementary cloud tools, OpenNebula and Eucalyptus, so providing the
technology required to build the three types of Cloud architectures, namely
private, hybrid and public clouds.
Eucalyptus can be used to transform an existing infrastructure into an
IaaS public cloud, being compatible with Amazon’s EC2 interface.
Eucalyptus is fu... (more)
OpenNebula Session at Cloud Expo
The OpenNebula team has just announced the stable state for the new 1.4
series of the OpenNebula Toolkit.
During these months the team has been working on new features that will be
quite helpful to manage a Cloud infrastructure.
Downloads are available as source code under Apache license as previous
versions but they have also created binary packages for RedHat/CentOS,
Ubuntu, openSUSE and Fedora.
Highlights of OpenNebula 1.4 are:
EC2 Query API interface for building OpenNebula-based clouds OGF OCCI
interface for building OpenNebula-based clouds ... (more)
This is the first post I am writing to illustrate the main novelties of the
new version of the OpenNebula Virtual Infrastructure Manager. OpenNebula is
an open-source toolkit for building Public, Private and Hybrid Cloud
infrastructures based on Xen, KVM and VMware virtualization
platforms.OpenNebula v1.4 is available in beta release,
incorporating bleeding edge technologies and innovations in many areas of
virtual infrastructure management and Cloud Computing.
While previous versions concentrated on functionality for Private and Hybrid
Cloud computing, this new version incorpor... (more)
