Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large
networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used
by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many
companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a
hybrid cloud solution.
Apache CloudStack empowers organizations to build and manage highly available, scalable, and secure private, public, and hybrid clouds with unparalleled ease. Transform your infrastructure into a flexible, on-demand service with CloudStack's comprehensive IaaS platform.
CloudStack is a turnkey solution that includes the entire "stack" of features
most organizations want with an IaaS cloud: compute orchestration,
Network-as-a-Service, user and account management, a full and open native API,
resource accounting, and a first-class User Interface (UI).
### Key Features
* **Multi-hypervisor Support**: Manage VMs across VMware vSphere, KVM, XenServer, and Hyper-V from a single pane of glass.
* **Network-as-a-Service (NaaS)**: Automate virtual networking, load balancing, and firewall services.
* **Rich API & UI**: Programmatically control your cloud with a robust RESTful API and intuitive web interface.
* **Storage Management**: Flexible storage options including primary and secondary storage, snapshots, and disaster recovery.
* **User & Account Management**: Robust multi-tenancy with granular access control for users and accounts.
* **Resource Accounting & Usage**: Track resource consumption for billing and capacity planning.
### Ecosystem & Integrations
CloudStack integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure and tools:
* **Authentication**: LDAP, Active Directory, SAML 2.0.
* **Storage**: S3-compatible object storage, Ceph, GlusterFS, SolidFire, Dell EMC, NetApp.

## Quick Start / Try It Now
The easiest way to try CloudStack is using the all-in-one Docker container. This is for **evaluation purposes only**.
1. **Pull the Simulator Image**:
```bash
docker pull apache/cloudstack-simulator
```
2. **Run the Container**:
```bash
docker run --name simulator -p 8080:5050 -d apache/cloudstack-simulator
```
3. **Access the UI**:
Open your browser at [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/).
* **Username**: `admin`
* **Password**: `password`
4. **Deploy a Data Center**:
Once logged in, you can deploy a basic zone to test:
```bash
docker exec -it simulator python /root/tools/marvin/marvin/deployDataCenter.py -i /root/setup/dev/basic.cfg
```
