hi guys,
just wondering if anyone had feedback about this project : http://karesansui-project.info/ ; I had a go at setting it up, and it took about 5 minutes to get going and be productive.
their installer is extremely odd, its a tarball with RPMS ( although they do provide a yum repo as well ).
And its based on CentOS ( hardwired version numbers from centos-5.3 to 5.5 - does not seem to like 5.6 unless you change their detection string, not sure why ).

I guess the question is how much such an interface buys you compared to lets say virt-manager? If you only have a hand full of virtual machines then using virt-manager is probably easier then setting up any of these cloud tools and if you have more then a hand full of guests then many of the functions become redundant as you'll need a dedicated monitoring solution like Zabbix anyway so all those nifty graphs become pointless.
BTW what happened to Red Hats RHEV-M System? They wanted to release an open-source version of that a while ago. Does anyone know what the status of that is?
Regards, Dennis

In a large production infraestructure, virtmanager is not a solution. The "de facto standard" in large corporations is VMware vCenter, and the KVM management tools (http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools) are too far from vCenter (in flexibility, options, ease of use,...) I've tested a few of them to move from VMware to KVM, and the mention goes to convirture (http://www.convirture.com/community.php), but is too far away from vCenter.

I've been testing RHEV-M in a large environment few weeks ago, and the RedHat consultant told me that they expect to release 3.0-beta after summer, and opensource it in the future (not scheduled yet)

You probably want to follow Richard WM Jones' blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/rhev-m-3-0-beta-part-3/
From comments today:

Greg DeKoenigsberg: Cool… but is it appropriate to have this on Fedora Planet if Fedora users can’t try it out? Kinda like dangling meat in front of hungry hounds, isn’t it? :)
rich: Hopefully I’ll have news about this within a week or so.

For me, its partially about the interface - but a lot more about the api and the management-via-code process that is important. I've been looking at opennebula as well ( the centos 6 buildsystem runs on a opennebula install! )
