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 [eventually] 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.
