Ganeti is a virtual server cluster management software tool built on top of the xen and kvm virtualization technologies and other free software. after setting it up it will provide you with an automated environment to manage highly available virtual machine instances.

it has been designed to facilitate cluster management of virtual servers and to provide fast and simple recovery after physical failures using commodity hardware.

it will take care of operations such as redundant disk creation and management, operating system installation (in cooperation with os-specific install scripts), startup, shutdown, failover of instances between physical systems.

this package contains the architecture-dependent components of ganeti written in haskell.
