This presentation discusses OpenNebula, an open-source cloud management tool. It supports interoperability through standards and adapters to ensure portability across providers from the perspective of cloud consumers. For cloud providers, OpenNebula is interoperable, innovative, and proven to run in production environments. It is fully open-source and adaptable for cloud integrators. OpenNebula is used in research infrastructures as both an infrastructure and provisioning tool to improve utilization and reduce costs. A new release of OpenNebula drivers for Hyper-V clouds was also announced.
