Hi,<div><br></div><div>I'm new to VM and cloud computing and am working on a research project that requires me to build a small cloud using several servers. I'll be manage the servers as an administrator. I decided to use Xen and was wondering whether I should use OpenNebula to manage them. Here are my questions.</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. Does OpenNebula provide management tools such that I (as a cloud provider, not just a cloud user) can easily modify the program to use my own scheduling/resource management algorithm to choose when and how to do live migration, etc? I really need the flexibility for research purpose. </div>
<div><br></div><div>2. I know OpenNebula works with Xen, but does it work with Xen Cloud Platform (XCP)? XCP seems to be a great open standard initiative and provides XAPI tool stacks, but I'm not sure if using the API to write my own management tool would be the most efficient way if OpenNebula can provide the feature I need in question 1.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot!</div><div><br></div><div>Yu-Ju</div>
