VirtM
Experimental virtual machine management system.

Roadmap

  • Virtual machine creation and deletion
  • Aware of SSH keys, VM images and networks
  • Automatic image customization
  • IPv4 address assignment, internet access as well as routable from the host machine
  • Private IPv4 networks
  • IPv6 address assignment
  • Cross-node networking via VXLAN and dynamic peer resolution via l2miss, l3miss
  • Aggregation mode with sox running on each node in a cluster, including draining and rebalancing nodes
  • Advanced management of SSH keys and networks
  • Advanced management of VM images, including creation of new images from running VMs
  • Support for different users, projects and ACLs

Design

The core idea is that sox exposes the same gRPC API, no matter if it's running on a single-node or in aggregation mode.

sox knows five core primitives: Machines, images, disks, networks and SSH keys. Machines are made out of their image, the attached networks and disks and configured SSH keys.

There is a global IP space every machine gets a single IPv4/IPv6 from.
