CloudStack

Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform.

Apache CloudStack

Apache CloudStack is a top-level project of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). The project develops open source software for deploying public and private Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds. Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution. Users can manage their cloud with an easy to use Web interface, command line tools, and/or a full-featured RESTful API. In addition, CloudStack provides an API that's compatible with AWS EC2 and S3 for organizations that wish to deploy hybrid clouds.

Features and Functionality

Apache CloudStack is a Java-based project that provides a management server and agents (if needed) for hypervisor hosts so that you can run an IaaS cloud. Some, but not all, of the features and functionality provided by CloudStack:

  • Works with hosts running XenServer/XCP, KVM, Hyper-V, and/or VMware ESXi with vSphere
  • Provides a friendly Web-based UI for managing the cloud
  • Provides a native API
  • May provide an Amazon S3/EC2 compatible API (optional)
  • Manages storage for instances running on the hypervisors (primary storage) as well as templates, snapshots, and ISO images (secondary storage)
  • Orchestrates network services from the data link layer (L2) to some application layer (L7) services, such as DHCP, NAT, firewall, VPN, and so on
  • Accounting of network, compute, and storage resources
  • Multi-tenancy/account separation
  • User management.
  • In short, organizations can use Apache CloudStack to deploy a full-featured public or private IaaS cloud.

Management Server Overview

Provides the web interface for both the adminstrator and end user.

Provides the API interfaces for both the CloudStack API as well as the EC2 interface.

Manages the assignment of guest VMs to a specific compute resource.

Manages the assignment of public and private IP addresses.

Allocates storage during the VM instantiation process.

Manages snapshots, disk images (templates), and ISO images.

Provides a single point of configuration for your cloud.

Cloud Infrastructure Overview

Regions: A collection of one or more geographically proximate zones managed by one or more management servers.

Zones: Typically, a zone is equivalent to a single datacenter. A zone consists of one or more pods and secondary storage.

Pods: A pod is usually a rack, or row of racks that includes a layer-2 switch and one or more clusters.

Clusters: A cluster consists of one or more homogenous hosts and primary storage.

Host: A single compute node within a cluster; often a hypervisor.
