PVC is a suite of Python 3 tools to manage virtualized clusters. It provides a fully-functional private cloud based on four key principles:
1. Be Free Software Forever (or Bust)
2. Be Opinionated and Efficient and Pick The Best Software
3. Be Scalable and Redundant but Not Hyperscale
4. Be Simple To Use, Configure, and Maintain
It is designed to be an administrator-friendly but extremely powerful and rich modern private cloud system, but without the feature bloat and complexity of tools like OpenStack. With PVC, an administrator can provision, manage, and update a cluster of dozens or more hypervisors running thousands of VMs using a simple CLI tool, HTTP API, or web interface. PVC is based entirely on Debian GNU/Linux and Free-and-Open-Source tools, providing the glue to bootstrap, provision and manage the cluster, then getting out of the administrators' way.
Your cloud, the best way; just add physical servers.

Add cluster architecture document
2019-07-28 22:43:24 -04:00
To get started with PVC, read the [Cluster Architecture document](/architecture/cluster), then see [Installing](/installing) for details on setting up a set of PVC nodes, using [`pvc-ansible`](/manuals/ansible) to configure and bootstrap a cluster, and managing it with the [`pvc` cli](/manuals/cli) or [HTTP API](/manuals/api). For details on the project, its motivation, and architectural details, see [the About page](/about).

#### v0.5
First public release; fully implements the VM, network, and storage managers, the HTTP API, and the pvc-ansible framework for deploying and bootstrapping a cluster. This release is suitable for general use, though it is still alpha-quality software and should be expected to change significantly until 1.0 is released.
#### v0.4
Full implementation of virtual management and virtual networking functionality. Partial implementation of storage functionality.
#### v0.3
Basic implementation of virtual management functionality.
