The Apache VCL project released version 2.3.1 on Dec 12, 2012. I neglected to announce it here when I announced it on our community lists. 2.3.1 is a bugfix release. Information on downloading and installing it can be found on our download page:
http://vcl.apache.org/downloads/download.cgi The Apache VCL is a self-service system used to dynamically provision and broker remote access to a dedicated compute environment for an end-user. The provisioned computers are typically housed in a data center and may be physical blade servers, traditional rack mounted servers, or virtual machines. VCL can also broker access to standalone machines such as a lab computers on a university campus. One of the primary goals of VCL is to deliver a dedicated compute environment to a user for a limited time through a web interface. This compute environment can range from something as simple as a virtual machine running productivity software to a machine room blade running high end software (i.e. a CAD, GIS,statistical package or an Enterprise level application) to a cluster of interconnected physical (bare metal) compute nodes. Using the scheduling API it can be used to automate the provisioning of servers in a server farm or HPC cluster. Josh Thompson Apache VCL release manager
