Hi Francisco, both Cloudstack and Xen Ochestra are using the same API of xcp-ng. So from that point of view, you are able to use both at the same time and as long as they are fetching data via api, it should work. But CS is storing information in a separate database and for that reason Xen Ochestra is not aware of it and vide versa! For example if you shutdown a VM via Xen Ochestra, CS is not aware of this and will do start the VM again if HA offering is used. This is only one example that pops into my mind. For us CS is always the top tool and should be used in the first place. Xen Ochestra is more like an admin tool you can use to do some admin staff.

Specifically, I am interested in knowing: 1. Is there native support or integration between CloudStack and Xen Orchestra? 2. Are there any limitations or known issues when using these two platforms together? 3. What are the best practices for managing and monitoring XenServer/XCP-ng hypervisors within a CloudStack environment, if using Xen Orchestra? Any insights, experiences, or documentation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Best regards, -- *Francisco Arencibia Quesada.* *DevOps Engineer*
