[FW: Announcing oVirt: web based VM management platform]
The announcement below may well be of interest to people involved in KVM. oVirt is using libvirt as its mnagement API, and the current builds use Fedora 9 + KVM to get a cutting edge virtualization platform / technology in combination with cutting edge Linux kernels :-) If anyone's interested, there's mailing list / IRC details below...
Regards,
Dan.

================It is my pleasure to announce oVirt, the next step in open virtual machine management.
oVirt is:
* A small OS image that runs libvirt and hosts virtual machines
* A Web-based virtual machine management consoleoVirt goals:
* Empower virtual machine owners without giving up control of hardware
* Automate virtual machine clustering, load balancing, and SLA maintenance
* Simplify management of large numbers of machines
* Work across platforms and architecturesoVirt uses:
* A kerberos/LDAP server for authentication and authorization (oVirt ships with FreeIPA)
* DNS/DHCP services on the local LAN -- or provides them for oVirt hosts over a private network if desired
* Libvirt for virtual machine management, storage management, and secure remote communication
* collectd for stats gathering and monitoring
* Rails for rapid, flexible developmentoVirt mailing list: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ovirt-devel
