[libvirt] Project announcement: abiCloud

[Diego Mariño]

Hi all,

This is a one-time post to announce a project which supports libvirt
for managing virtual machines: abiCloud.

AbiCloud is an open source cloud platform manager which allows to
easily deploy a private cloud in your datacenter. One of the key
differences of AbiCloud is the the web rich interface for managing the
infrastructure. You can deploy a new service just dragging and
dropping a VM.

Currently, we use libvirt for:
- Managing (deployment, configuration, administration...) of Xen & KVM
virtual machines trought the java binding
- Events monitoring trough a C API for openwsman

We truly believe that V2V will boost the adoption of new hypervisors
from users, and libvirt will have a prominent role in this space. So,
we will continue adding support for more hypervisors trough libvirt.
