A &PRODUCT; installation consists of two parts: the Management Server and the cloud infrastructure that it manages. When you set up and manage a &PRODUCT; cloud, you provision resources such as hosts, storage devices, and IP addresses into the Management Server, and the Management Server manages those resources.

The minimum production installation consists of one machine running the &PRODUCT; Management Server and another machine to act as the cloud infrastructure (in this case, a very simple infrastructure consisting of one host running hypervisor software). In a trial installation, a single machine can act as both the Management Server and the hypervisor host (using the KVM hypervisor).

&PRODUCT; provides an API that gives programmatic access to all the management features available in the UI. The API is maintained and documented. This API enables the creation of command line tools and new user interfaces to suit particular needs. See the Developer’s Guide and API Reference, both available at <ulink url="http://docs.cloudstack.org/Apache_CloudStack_Documentation">http://docs.cloudstack.org/Apache_CloudStack_Documentation</ulink>.

The &PRODUCT; pluggable allocation architecture allows the creation of new types of allocators for the selection of storage and Hosts. See the Allocator Implementation Guide (<ulink url="http://docs.cloudstack.org/CloudStack_Documentation/Allocator_Implementation_Guide">http://docs.cloudstack.org/CloudStack_Documentation/Allocator_Implementation_Guide</ulink>).

<para>&PRODUCT; has a number of features to increase the availability of the system. The Management Server itself may be deployed in a multi-node installation where the servers are load balanced. MySQL may be configured to use replication to provide for a manual failover in the event of database loss. For the hosts, &PRODUCT; supports NIC bonding and the use of separate networks for storage as well as iSCSI Multipath.
