5 libvirt Hypervisor-neutral API Mechanisms, not policies Handles various storage types Handles networking Talks to QEMU

6 QEMU Hardware emulation CPU, Devices Management interface to guests Interfaces with the kernel

7 Linux Kernel Houses KVM Exploits hardware virtualisation features Allows QEMU guests to run on local CPUs Paravirtualised drivers

8 Client tools VNC viewer SPICE client

9 Guest Agents Spice Video Spice Audio Clipboard copy/paste Lock screen Reboot / Shutdown USB devices

10 Some TODOs SPICE: lots to be done (www.spice-space.org)www.spice-space.org QEMU: Stable management APIs for libvirt Machine as well as human interaction Libvirt: expose several QEMU features Virt-manager: expose several libvirt features

11 Cloud

12 Different APIs Storage Have to have customised Fedora versions for each cloud provider All Clouds Not The Same

13 Deltacloud One API to work against multiple clouds Multiple drivers already written Amazon EC2, Rackspace, RHEV-M,... Web UI to monitor images across clouds Inter-cloud migration Manage images, provision on any cloud

14 Challenges New Fedora releases on clouds A.ks for clouds for bootstrapping Providers take easy way out Create official EC2 images Cloud Test Days Docs, Test Plans Package composition FAD proposed – watch out for it!
