Ganeti - an Open Source multi-node HA cluster based on Xen

Virtualization is a tool that can allow system administrators to solve some of their hardest problems:

• Flexibility in hardware deployment
• Effective use of hardware
• Increased availability of systems

Solving these 3 problems was the goal of the Ganeti design. Ganeti lets you:

combine multiple systems (nodes) in a cluster create virtual systems (instances) with the help of Xen move the virtual systems between the nodes of the cluster recover from a hardware failure with minimal/no downtime and no data loss

Ganeti was developed at Google and is used for internal systems. It will be released as open source before the conference. The talk will focus on the Ganeti design and on the use of xen for a multi-node HA cluster
