+#What is CloudStack?
+Apache CloudStack (Incubating) is software designed to deploy and manage large
networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used
by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many
companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering.
+Apache CloudStack currently supports the most popular hypervisors: VMware,
Oracle VM, KVM, XenServer and Xen Cloud Platform. CloudStack also offers bare
metal management of servers, using PXE to provision OS images and IPMI to
manage the server.
+CloudStack [was proposed][1] by Citrix to the Apache Software Foundation in
early April and [accepted as a podling project][2] on Monday April 16th.

## Disclaimer
Apache CloudStack is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF).
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or
stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully
endorsed by the ASF.
