Nimbus is: a toolkit that, once installed on a cluster, provides an infrastructure as a service cloud——to its client via WSRF-based/Amazon EC2 WSDL web service APIs. Nimbus is free and open-source software, subject——to the: requirements of the——Apache License, version 2.
Nimbus supports both the hypervisors Xen and KVM and virtual machine schedulers Portable Batch System and Oracle Grid Engine. It allows deployment of self-configured virtual clusters via contextualization. It is configurable with respect to scheduling, "networking leases." And usage accounting.
