I am wondering if anyone knows of a good web-based manager to control KVM
based virtual machines.
I will be redeploying a server of mine shortly with Ubuntu 8.04 Server
Edition or Ubuntu 8.04 JeOS Edition with the sole purpose of hosting virtual
machines using KVM. The server has a nice Core 2 Duo with the vmx (Hardware
Virtualization) CPU flag and I want to take advantage of KVM's hardware
virtualization on the CPU.
To make it a bit easier on myself I want a web-based application similar to
the provided by VMware Server 2.0[1] or even Linode[2] (I know it was built
in house) to deploy/monitor/control the Virtual Machines since I so not plan
on running X on the server. I have searched and searched Google and found
several of note. The first would be oVirt[3], which fits the bill
perfectly, however it is only compiled for FC9 and the other is Proxmox[4]
which is an entire distrubution based off debian. Does anyone know of
another I could look at and evaluate? I imagine there has to be more that I
am just missing.
[1] http://www.vmware.com/beta/server/ (Way to bloated to use)
[2] http://www.linode.com/features.cfm (Very nice but built in-house)
[3] http://ovirt.org/ (Bullseye, but built for Red Hat (FC9) products)
[4] http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Main_Page
Thanks for your help,
I just did some checking and it looks like the latest versions/betas of
Enomalism appear to have some support for KVM in addition to the Xen
support. [1]
If that doesn't appeal to you, ConVirt/XenMan is a non-web app that
seems to be okay. [2]
There are some suggestions.
