Cool concept. Basically - you are trying to do what we do with VmWare and XEN. We have direct and indirect agent model. CloudStack talks to VmWare vCenter directly for all of its operations via indirect agent model. Look into either VmWare or XEN as point of reference. On 5/18/17 2:29 PM, Joh

Been a while since I looked at this stuff. It might be worth it to look at the VSphere implementation as that does something similar to what you're trying to achieve and what Rafael mentions. In effect you could view CloudStack as the federation of multiple VSphere endpoints, in your case one or mo

I have a similar question. I want to use VirtualBox for a project that I have. And to the best of my knowledge, cloudstack doesn't support type II hypervisors like VirtualBox. What should I do to support VirtualBox in CloudStack. Regards, On Thu, May 18, 2017 at 5:06 PM, Simon Weller wrote: > W

John, I never implemented one but I am about to investigate the ovm3 one to see if I can maintain it for a customer. I know the guy that wrote it and he says it’s fairly simple given the constraint of a hypervisor plugin, so I’d have a look at that one if I where you. Important thing to conside

Ok...so bear with me on this one. "Hypervisor" was a little white lie. What I actually want to do is implement OpenStack as a backend for CloudStack (yo dawg, I hear you like cloud in your clouds, etc). I know I can use KVM and OVS as backends for CloudStack natively but, as I said, this is for
