CentOS virt - Aug 2011 - cloudstack - http://cloudstack.org

Citrix have open sourced their recently acquired cloud management 
platform 'Cloudstack'. It apparently supports multiple hypervisors: Xen,
KVM, Vmware ESXi

The install guide is worth a read even if you're not considering 
installing it as it goes over some 'best practice' config for storage, 
networking setup etc.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with it?

the cloud.com stack has always been open - and as far as I know, citrix 
are actually moving to try and close up some parts of it ( based on 
conversations around beer, please verify! )

I have deployed cloud.com for testing purposes, its quite nice. At the 
time ( early 2011 ) it was also the only complete end to end cloud setup 
that actually worked for private, offline instances.

only real issue I had was that its quite resource intensive and targets 
fairly new hardware ( ie: lots of resources )
