Dear all,
You may find of interest a new implementation of the libvirt
virtualization API. This new implementation adds support to OpenNebula, a
distributed VM manager system. The implementation of libvirt on top of a
distributed VM manager, like OpenNebula, provides an abstraction of a whole
cluster of resources (each one with its hypervisor). In this way, you can use
any libvirt tool (e.g. virsh, virt-manager) and XML domain descriptions at a
distributed level.
For example, you may create a new domain with 'virsh create', then OpenNebula
will look for a suitable resource, transfer the VM images and boot your VM
using any of the supported hypervisors. The distributed management is
completely transparent to the libvirt application. This is, a whole cluster
can be managed as any other libvirt node.
The current implementation is targeted for libvirt 0.4.4, and includes a patch
to the libvirt source tree (mainly to modify the autotools files), and a
libvirt driver.
