It `uses + libvirt <http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v38r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.tivoli.tpm.apk.doc/libvirt_package.html>`__ + for communication with virtualization hosts and guest domains. + +`Foreman <https://theforeman.org>`__ + Foreman is an open source web based application aimed to be a Single + Address For All Machines Life Cycle Management. Foreman: + + - Creates everything you need when adding a new machine to your + network, its goal being automatically managing everything you + would normally manage manually (DNS, DHCP, TFTP, Virtual + Machines,CA, CMDB...) + - Integrates with Puppet (and acts as web front end to it). + - Takes care of provisioning until the point puppet is running, + allowing Puppet to do what it does best. + - Shows you Systems Inventory (based on Facter) and provides real + time information about hosts status based on Puppet reports. + +Web applications +---------------- + +`AbiCloud <https://www.abiquo.com/>`__ + AbiCloud is an open source cloud platform manager which allows to + easily deploy a private cloud in your datacenter. One of the key + differences of AbiCloud is the web rich interface for managing the + infrastructure. You can deploy a new service just dragging and + dropping a VM. +`Kimchi <https://kimchi-project.github.io/kimchi/>`__ + Kimchi is an HTML5 based management tool for KVM. It is designed to + make it as easy as possible to get started with KVM and create your + first guest. Kimchi manages KVM guests through libvirt. The + management interface is accessed over the web using a browser that + supports HTML5. +`oVirt <https://ovirt.org/>`__ + oVirt provides the ability to manage large numbers of virtual + machines across an entire data center of hosts. It integrates with + FreeIPA for Kerberos authentication, and in the future, certificate + management. +`VMmanager <https://ispsystem.com/en/software/vmmanager>`__ + VMmanager is a software solution for virtualization management that + can be used both for hosting virtual machines and building a cloud. + VMmanager can manage not only one server, but a large cluster of + hypervisors.
