<p class="MsoNormal">The hypervisor-vmware-vsphere-support blueprint merged yesterday, so Nova can now use VMware’s hypervisors on the compute nodes. This brings the OpenStack compute options to seven: vSphere, XenServer/Xen Cloud Platform, Xen, Hyper-V,
KVM, QEMU, and UML. LXC isn’t far behind, which will make eight.</p>
