[![Apache CloudStack](tools/logo/acsxmas.jpg)](https://cloudstack.apache.org/)



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.



CloudStack is a turnkey solution that includes the entire "stack" of features

most organizations want with an IaaS cloud: compute orchestration,

Network-as-a-Service, user and account management, a full and open native API,

resource accounting, and a first-class User Interface (UI).



CloudStack currently supports the most popular hypervisors:

VMware vSphere, KVM, XenServer, XenProject and Hyper-V as well as

OVM and LXC containers.



Users can manage their cloud with an easy to use Web interface, command line

tools, and/or a full-featured query based API.
