Apache CloudStack

Apache CloudStack is a scalable system and can be used in creating IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) platforms.

It's basically a toolkit for managing cloud computing networks in an easy way, without having to write hundreds or thousands of lines of code.

Support is included for working with private and public computing clouds.

CloudStack supports various hypervisors and delivers a production and deploy-ready system for your VM networks.
