Apache CloudStack is an open-source software system designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. It is a turnkey solution including compute orchestration, Network-as-a-Service, user and account management, resource accounting, and a full native API. It can be managed via a web UI, command line tools, or a RESTful API, and offers an API compatible with Amazon EC2 and S3 for hybrid cloud deployments. It is hypervisor agnostic, supporting VMware, KVM, XenServer and Xen Cloud Platform.
