Ganeti Ganeti is a system for managing clusters of virtual machines. The talk will introduce Ganeti, its usage, and its architecture. The main focus will be on changes and new development in the last year. Ganeti is a management software for clusters of virtual machines based on Xen, KVM or LXC. It is an open source project funded by Google which has been around 7 years now. It has grown to the size of about 100,000 lines of Python and about 40,000 lines of Haskell code. Besides being used in Google’s internal infrastructure, the project has a lively open source community. Among our biggest users and contributors are OSUOSL and GRNet. In our talk, we will recall, in a self-contained way, the steps to set up and maintain a Ganeti cluster, to monitor it, and to deal with failures. We will also recall the architecture and the interfaces to the utilized open-source components. The main focus of the talk will be on changes and new features of Ganeti, predominantly those that happened in the last year.
