Open Stack

That's correct… Also, right now a lot of the integration components (auth, etc.) depend on Rackspace systems.  Much of the work for the next few months will be to generalize these components so that it is more usable and deployable across a wider variety of environments.  Additionally, we also plan to add support for either ha-proxy or nginx so that the software can be deployed with a full OSS stack.

Subject: Re: [Openstack] Atlas - Load Balancing Open Source Project


Atlas is an api/service which controls load balancers. Currently they support zeus, but they have a model where folks can add additional software like haproxy/pound/... much like nova supports additional hypervisors/storage systems via "drivers"
