Apache CloudStack is the leading open-source cloud orchestration platform used by many of the world’s largest public and private clouds. It is a multi-hypervisor, multi-tenant, high-availability Infrastructure as a Service cloud management platform. CloudStack is a virtualization platform that provides a cloud orchestration layer, giving automation of the creation, provisioning and configuration of IaaS components (such as virtual servers).
CloudStack delivers the flexibility of open-source technology together with the power of an enterprise-grade virtualization management platform. It is integrated with a wide range of software solutions so that it can provide you with the freedom to build your own technology stack, which is the best fit for your business needs and tech targets. In a new blog series named CloudStack Integrations, the Apache CloudStack Community presents a range of technologies with which CloudStack is integrated. At ShapeBlue, we are happy to share the latest specialized Technical Solution Briefs presenting a wide range of integrations, starting with LINBIT.
