<div>Also for XenServer, we can build a package on Ubuntu and then will have to install on XenServer so that it can be controlled by cloud controller. </div><div><br></div><div>Basically openstack compute should be installed on hypervisor and accepts the instructions from controller to create VM's, assign IP addresses, destroy, attaching volumes etc. </div>
<div>Please confirm this understanding. </div><div><br></div><div>Based on this, i did not find anything on VMWare ESXi. How does the compute gets installed on ESXi server ?</div><div><br></div><div>Also, i have seen cloudstack working which seems to be little different than how openstack works. Cloudstack can control existing VMWare/XenServer/KVM etc using their respective API's. </div>
<div>It doesnt require any installation on the hypervisor itself. If my understanding is correct, then this seems to be a better model.</div><div>What is the reason that openstack cannot operate the hypervisors without installing compute on them ? </div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Atul</div>
