ClonOS 19.01-RELEASE – A FreeBSD-Based Virtualization Platform

I'm glad to announce the first ClonOS (19.01) release

ClonOS is a turnkey Open Source platform based on FreeBSD and the CBSD framework. ClonOS offers a complete web UI for easily controlling, deploying and managing FreeBSD jails containers and Bhyve/Xen hypervisor virtual environments.

ClonOS is currently the only platform available which allow both Xen and Bhyve hypervisor to coexist on the same host. Being a FreeBSD base platform, ClonOS ability to create and manage jails allows you to run FreeBSD applications without losing performance.

Features:

    easy management via web UI interface
    live Bhyve migration [coming soon, roadmap]
    Bhyve management (create, delete VM)
    Xen management (create, delete VM) [coming soon, roadmap]
    connection to the "physical" guest console via VNC from the browser or directly
    Real time system monitoring
    access to load statistics through SQLite3 and beanstalkd
    support for ZFS features (cloning, snapshots)
    import/export of virtual environments
    public repository with virtual machine templates
    puppet-based helpers for configuring popular services

I know that there are a huge number of similar solutions ( Proxmox, Triton, OpenStack, OpenNebula, cloudstack, oVirt, KVM + libvirt + virt-manager ..) but I’m interested in creating it on a completely alternative technology stack.

Any feedback and comments are welcome!
