Ganeti is a cluster virtual server management software tool built on top of
existing virtualization technologies such as Xen or KVM and other Open
Source software.
Ganeti requires pre-installed virtualization software on your servers in
order to function. Once installed, the tool will take over the management
part of the virtual instances (Xen DomU), e.g. disk creation management,
operating system installation for these instances (in co-operation with
OS-specific install scripts), and startup, shutdown, failover between
physical systems. It has been designed to facilitate cluster management of
virtual servers and to provide fast and simple recovery after physical
failures using commodity hardware.
