<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As part of our work at Research In Motion in deploying OpenNebula, we are developing a tool that we believe can be of benefit to the wider community. The tool which we are calling the Carina Environment Manager
allows for the automated deployment, elastic scaling and high-availability management of interconnected application clusters based on policies. If you are tired of manually deploying individual VMs and want a system to deploy, scale up , scale down or restart
VMs in an entire Tomcat web farm behind a software load-balancer (for example) then Carina might be of interest to you. It is a relatively light-weight tool (about 5000 lines of code in Ruby and bash script currently) which is designed to be easy to understand,
extensible and adaptable. We welcome participation and feedback from the community to help us evolve it. You can find more details about it together with the code on our GitHub site at
<a href="https://github.com/blackberry/OpenNebula-Carina">https://github.com/blackberry/OpenNebula-Carina</a>. Thank you for your attention.
