2. Eucalyptus is an open source software platform to implement
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in a private or hybrid cloud computing
environment.
The Eucalyptus cloud platform groups existing virtualized infrastructure to
create resources in the cloud for infrastructure as a service, storage as a
service, and the network as a service. The name Eucalyptus is an
acronym for Elastic Utility Computing Architecture to link your programs
to useful systems.
3. At the University of California, Santa Barbara, Eucalyptus was founded from a
research project in the Department of Computer Science and in 2009 became a
profitable business called Eucalyptus Systems.
In March 2012 Eucalyptus Systems declare a formal agreement with Amazon Web
Services (AWS) to allow administrators to transfer instances between an Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and private Eucalyptus cloud to create a hybrid cloud
Could.
The partnership also allows Eucalyptus to work with Amazon product teams to
develop unique features compatible with AWS.
4. Eucalyptus features include:
Supports virtual machines (VM)
of Linux and Windows.
Application program interface
(API) compatible with the Amazon
EC2 platform.
Compatible with Simple Storage
Service (S3) and Amazon Web
Services (AWS).
It works with multiple hypervisors,
including VMware, Xen and KVM.
5. ● It can be installed and implemented from
source code or DEB and RPM packages.
● Internal process communications are
secured through SOAP and WS-Security.
● Multiple clusters can be virtualized as a
single cloud.
● Administrative functions such as
management and reports of users and
groups.
6. Version 3.3, which
was available in
June 2013, adds the
following features:
Auto Scaling: allows application developers to
scale Eucalyptus resources up or down
according to the policies defined with the APIs
and tools compatible with Amazon EC2
Elastic Load Balancing: AWS-compatible
service that provides greater fault tolerance for
applications
CloudWatch: an AWS-compatible service that
allows users to collect metrics, set alarms,
identify trends and take action to ensure
applications run smoothly.
7. Resource labeling: detailed reports for showback and chargeback scenarios; allows IT /
DevOps to create reports that show the use of the cloud by application, department or user
Extended instance types: expanded set of instance types to align more closely with those
available in Amazon EC2. It was 5 before, now up to 15 types of instance.
Maintenance mode: allows the replication of the hard disk of a virtual machine, the
evacuation of the server node and provides a maintenance window.
