Hi Salman,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are some tools available that can orchestrate machines on OpenStack clouds. One example is CloudMan [ <a href="http://usecloudman.org/">http://usecloudman.org/</a> ], which is used as the engine for Galaxy, a bioinformatics analysis platform. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Users in OpenStack can also manage their own projects where each project can have multiple users that are able to share VM snapshots, which is very useful in a research collaboration context.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And of course there are tools like puppet that can be used to script and automate the launch and control of 1000's of VMs..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Steven.</div>

<br>
My background is relate to grid community. Initiating VMs for individuals make lots of sense but what about to manage stuff at project level? I mean when you have thousands of computation jobs most of them are similar but some have different requirements and
you need to some how manage all of them. I am sure there will be some way of starting jobs automatically. With this i mean each job will run in a separate envirnoment . One way is to use job description files and then some management component ....<br>
<br>
Can someone please point out some projects have worked or working in this direction using Openstack? I mean submission and management of computational jobs.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
