Importing VMware Instances to Apache CloudStack
In this video tutorial, ShapeBlue will demonstrate how to seamlessly manage your existing VMware vSphere infrastructure by utilizing the VM Ingestion capability of Apache CloudStack. This powerful feature allows effortless integration and management of existing VMware instances.
Efficiency and cost-effectiveness are important concerns for enterprises building private clouds, as well as MSPs and IaaS providers. When building a cloud infrastructure, factors like Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and choosing the right technology stack are crucial for long-term success. Companies carefully consider the costs involved in creating their solution, starting from the underlying hardware, software, licenses, and support operating costs. The main goal is to achieve reliability, efficiency, and the ability to provide competitive pricing to end-users.
While VMware is frequently the preferred option for many CTOs, Architects, and infrastructure managers, it comes with significant licensing and support costs and complexity. Apache CloudStack has the ability to easily onboard existing VMware assets, including instances, networks and storage, with no downtime – just point CloudStack at your VCenter and you can start using it as an abstraction layer within minutes. In this way, Apache CloudStack can connect natively to the VMWare API and register existing instances exporting their respective meta-data configurations, cataloguing the legacy, and handing over to users the management of these resources via the powerful CloudStack API or UI.
Apache CloudStack is an IaaS Orchestration Platform supporting a huge list of hypervisors. CloudStack can orchestrate virtually the entire range of hypervisors on the market, enabling cloud capabilities for enterprise infrastructure, and completely decoupling the infrastructure from user operations. This means that users don’t need to know anything about what’s running on the IT infrastructure, such as the network, servers, hypervisors, firewall, load balancer, VLANs and VPN as these resources are virtualized by CloudStack.
