vmimagemanager 0.2.2

Is a python script for managing a small cluster of libvirt virtual machines on a single host with one command using the unix command line interface.<br />it is intended for scripted VM manipulation, by automating the task of launching and shutting down virtual machine images mounting the VM file systems, extracting artifacts, inserting artifacts, snappshotting and restoring images.for virtualizing Operating systems which has been useful at work in High through put server deployment.<br />Vmimagemanager was originally writern for Xen prior to 0.1.0 when it was ported to libvirt controlling kvm in the future it may support more open platforms including xen, kvm and virtual box.<br /><br />Features<br /><br /> Works with Kvm through libvirt.<br /> Works with local storage.<br /> Simple Slot and Virtual Machine model of deployment.<br /> Slot configuration, and Host configuration defaulting so you only need to specifiy the image directory once.<br /> Speeds the import and export of images to tgz or rsync directories for archive.<br /> Retrive artifacts or Insert artifacts into the files system, (eg, cirtificates=x509, keys=ssh,apache)<br /> Speedy frequent redeploys with rsync.<br /> Extracting or Overlaying Archived Directories images.<br /> Defaults and per Slot configuration.<br /> Manages mounting domains when then Vm is down and un-mounting when the domain is launched.<br /> Manages exporting images in tar.gz format.<br /> Lists Free Slots.<br /> Libvirt gives support can be extended to work with the Xen hypervisor on Linux and Solaris hosts. On Linux QEMU, KVM, LXC, OpenVZ, User Mode Linux, and VirtualBox.
