OpenNebula is compared to OpenStack, with the document noting some exceptions. It discusses OpenNebula as "The Integrator's Story" and focuses on two approaches to cloud management: central planning vs autonomous. It provides examples of each approach and notes that the goal is to integrate OpenNebula, not have it dictate terms.
5. Two Approaches
Central Planning Autonomous
● A central entity knows
all and distributes
customized
configuration to each
system
● Each system knows
the overall goal and
directs their own
configuration to
achieve that goal
6. Two Approaches
Central Planning Autonomous
● The central system
watches things
happen and ensures
that they happen and
in the right order
● Perhaps even
eventually getting
there, nobody is
watching over us to
ensure success
