21. What is CloudStack? Free (as in speech, and beer) Infrastructure as a Service implementation that supports multiple hypervisors, complex network and firewall configuration, high-availability, and complex multi-tenant offerings.

23. Provision networking services (load balancing, dhcp, routing, VLAN allocation, firewall, isolation, VPN, manage external networking elements)

24. Allocate VM/resources based on algorithms and availability

25. Provide abstraction of and interaction with virtualization, networking, etc.

27. Allow arbitrary resources limits to be placed on accounts or users.

28. Track not just counts of VMs at given point in time, but usage (type of instance, network, storage, CPU) over time.

30. XenServer

31. XCP

32. VMware

33. OVM

34. Baremetal

36. Users are separated into multi-level domains and accounts and granted varying degrees of access to resources.

37. Users and Admins have access to the same UI

39. VPN

40. Firewall

41. Routing

42. DHCP

43. VLAN provisioning and management

44. Security Groups

46. Works for all supported hypervisors.

47. System VMs such as router and loadbalancer are HA by default

48. Redundant router

49. Robust API CloudStack is replete with a robust RESTful API (output in XML or JSON) Allows external applications such as monitoring to perform actions such as spinning up new instances in response to load. Allows you to loosely couple external applications such as billing and PaaS to CloudStack.

51. Compute nodes

52. Primary Storage

53. Secondary Storage

55. ConsoleProxy

57. Pod

58. Cluster

59. Hosts
