This page describes the high-level steps to design and deploy an OpenNebula cloud.

To familiarize yourself with deployment and daily operations, or if you want to quickly try an Edge, Hybrid or Multi-cloud deployment, we strongly recommend you begin with the Quick Start Guide. In the Quick Start, you can:

Install an OpenNebula Front-end
Deploy Virtual Machines to validate the installed infrastructure

As you follow the tutorials you will learn the basic usage and operation of your cloud. This trial of a real cloud deployment can help you to plan for the most suitable features for performance and scalability, to get the most out of your OpenNebula cloud.

Edge Cloud Reference Architecture

To support digital transformation initiatives, IT departments need the right blend of on-premises, public, and edge cloud environments to support a variety of existing and emerging use cases while avoiding vendor lock-in and enabling cost optimization. They also need to combine Virtual Machine workloads with containerized applications from Kubernetes in a shared environment to get the best of both worlds: mature virtualization technologies and orchestration of application containers.

Open Cloud Reference Architecture

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The OpenNebula Cloud Reference Architecture is a blueprint to guide IT architects, consultants, cloud‬ ‭administrators, and field practitioners in the design and deployment of private, hybrid, and edge clouds‬ ‭fully based on ‬‭open source platforms and technologies‭. ‬‭It is based on the collective information and‬ ‭experiences of hundreds of users and client engagements. Besides the main logical components and‬ ‭interrelationships within the architecture, this document includes references to software products, specific‬ ‭configurations, and requirements of infrastructure platforms recommended for a‬‭ smooth OpenNebula‬ ‭installation‭. Three optional functionalities complete‬ ‭this architecture: high availability, true hybrid and‬ ‭edge for workload outsourcing, and federation of geographically-dispersed data centers.‬
