Cloudstack: the best kept secret in the cloud
Apache CloudStack is a scalable, multi-tenant, open-source cloud orchestration platform that provides infrastructure as a service. It has been in widespread production use for over 6 years, powering major public clouds and enterprise private clouds. Despite its proven track record and growing user community, CloudStack remains relatively unknown compared to other open-source cloud platforms.
