OpenNebula Ecosystem
This page describes third-party tools and plug-ins that extend the functionality provided by OpenNebula. Do not hesitate to contact us if you need guidance or support to develop a new component to extend OpenNebula. We maintain a development infrastructure that hosts experimental tools, such as a VM consolidation scheduler for Energy Efficiency, and could also host your OpenNebula related effort.
Additionally, we suggest some project ideas for students and research groups interested in getting involved in virtualization and cloud computing development, or just open source development in general. Teaching Open-Source supports training and mentoring activities on OpenNebula
| Package | Description | Project | Contact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haizea Open Source VM-based Lease Manager (Apache license) | Haizea can be used to extend OpenNebula's scheduling capabilities, allowing it to support advance reservation of resources and queuing of best effort requests (more generally, it allows you to lease your resources as VMs, with a variety of lease terms). Making OpenNebula use Haizea as a scheduler is simple, since Haizea is a a drop-in replacement for OpenNebula's default scheduler | Haizea | Borja Sotomayor (University of Chicago) & support mailing list |
| Virtual Cluster Tool(Apache license) | VCT (Virtual Cluster Tool) is a wrapper and a set of modified drivers for OpenNebula which adds support for atomic virtual cluster management with versioning and multiple transport protocols. | VIDA: VIrtual Deployment Architecture | CRS4 Distributed Computing Group |
