OVERVIEW

Cloud (Clanavi) is a set of modules to realize cloud management: Drupal-based Cloud Dashboard like Amazon Management Console, RightScale, ElasticFox, and etc. The module supports not only public cloud like Amazon EC2, Cloudⁿ but also private cloud like OpenStack and XCP (Xen Cloud Platform) since the system is highly modularized by Drupal architecture.

The cloud management functionalities include in such as server templates, clusters, monitoring, billing, resource allocation, reliability, scalability and etc.
