[on-asterisk] Question regarding Xen and other virtualization programs for Linux
Bruce N
Hi Everyone,
I have a few questions regarding virtualization in CentOS, and Ubuntu.
1- What are some of the virtualization programs other than Xen that run on CentOS, Ubuntu and are easy to use?
2- Do any of these come with an easy to use interface for Ubuntu?
3- Is there a turnkey solution for Xen or other virtualization that will provide something like the online VPS providers provide? I mean instantaneous VPS start and package select via web browser?
Thanks for your input,
Bruce

I am using it for a couple of things, actually have it running inside VMWare... then inside it have two Virtual Machines... but it is nice since it is so easy to install/setup (x64 only!). Nice little backup/snapshot system, clustering (allow you to move one VM to another machine)... some limitations, but overall I'd say pretty nice.

We just wrote a bunch of php shell scripts to control everything,
untar's a preproduced tar ball of an OS and works pretty straight
forward for us, but if you need web control panels you need something
like DTC.
> 2- Do any of these come with an easy to use interface for Ubuntu?
There is only a couple of virtualisation options suitable for server
based stuff, Xen seems to be the cheapest/best option, others include VM
Ware for Servers $$$$ and VZ $$$ and OpenVZ which is free but allows you
to over allocate ram which can cause apps to crash when the underlying
OS takes ram back.

Thanks for the inputs on this guys. Really helps.
Duane, is DTC for Xen a web-based managed program/solution for xen? Is it downloadable with a rpm or apt-get on Ubuntu?
I did an apt-get install dtc-xen and I got something installed but not sure where to start from now. Might have to read on it a bit. But wondering if it provides a web based management portal.
Thanks,
Bruce

Thanks for the lead to DTC looks very interesting. I've been using ispconfig but it is a bit lacking and the added support for Xen is great since we're utilizing xen now. Will be testing shortly!
