Experimental virtual machine management system.



## Roadmap

- [x] Virtual machine creation and deletion

- [x] Aware of SSH keys, VM images and networks

- [x] Automatic image customization

- [x] IPv4 address assignment, internet access as well as routable from the host machine

- [x] Private IPv4 networks

- [ ] IPv6 address assignment

- [ ] Cross-node networking via VXLAN and dynamic peer resolution via l2miss, l3miss

- [ ] Aggregation mode with sox running on each node in a cluster, including draining and rebalancing nodes

- [ ] Advanced management of SSH keys and networks

- [ ] Advanced management of VM images, including creation of new images from running VMs

- [ ] Support for different users, projects and ACLs

## Design

The core idea is that sox exposes the same gRPC API, no matter if it's running on a single-node or in aggregation mode.

sox knows five core primitives: Machines, images, disks, networks and SSH keys.

Machines are made out of their image, the attached networks and disks and configured SSH keys.

There is a global IP space every machine gets a single IPv4/IPv6 from.
