Description : open source software for building reliable cloud infrastructure
OpenStack is free, open source software for building reliable cloud
infrastructure.
The OpenStack mission is to produce the ubiquitous Open Source cloud
computing platform that will meet the needs of public and private cloud
providers regardless of size, by being simple to implement and
massively scalable.
OpenStack Compute, codenamed Nova, is a cloud computing fabric
controller. In addition to its "native", open API (the OpenStack API),
it also supports the Amazon EC2 API.
Nova is intended to be modular and easy to extend and adapt. It
supports many different hypervisors (KVM and Xen to name a few),
different database backends (SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, for
instance), different types of user databases (LDAP or SQL), etc.
