Announcing oVirt
================
It is my pleasure to announce oVirt, the next step in open virtual
machine management.
oVirt is:
* A small OS image that runs libvirt and hosts virtual machines
* A Web-based virtual machine management console
oVirt goals:
* Empower virtual machine owners without giving up control of
hardware
* Automate virtual machine clustering, load balancing, and SLA
maintenance
* Simplify management of large numbers of machines
* Work across platforms and architectures
oVirt uses:
* A kerberos/LDAP server for authentication and authorization
(oVirt ships with FreeIPA)
* DNS/DHCP services on the local LAN -- or provides them for oVirt
hosts over a private network if desired
* Libvirt for virtual machine management, storage management, and
secure remote communication
* collectd for stats gathering and monitoring
* Rails for rapid, flexible development
