DESCRIPTION
VCL is a modular cloud computing platform which dynamically provisions and brokers remote access to compute resources including virtual machines, bare-metal computers, and resources in other cloud platforms. A self-service web portal is used to request resources and for administration. VCL became a TLP on June 20, 2012.
CURRENT ACTIVITY
- Development progress was a bit slow over the holidays and January but is picking up.
- Work has been completed to improve support for cluster reservations which are distributed across different managment nodes.
- Work continues to fix some minor issues. We hope to create a release late spring or early summer which will include support for new features including provisioning on OpenStack, Windows 8.1 images, and nested hypervisor provisioning.
- The community continues to work to attract development contributions and eventually additional committers. Contributions have recently been made from people in the community who have not contributed code before.
