This project will concider management of a Xen-based virtual infrastructurein several aspects. First, management of the infrastructure itself with configurationand provisioning of virtual machines, followed by a proof-of-conceptmodel for dynamic resource sharing for the virtual machines using the newlyintroduced Xen-API for resource consumption monitoring. Experiments willdocument the feasibility of such a model, using both single, independent virtualmachines and various size private networks connected by local bridge devices.Two applications, XeniNFO for resource consumption monitoring andXenGuard for load balancing of the virtual infrastructure using live migration,have been developed. XenGuard, which utilizes the features of XeniNFO, hasbeen merged with the open source virtual machine management tool MLN(Manage Large Networks) and will be publicly available in a future releaseof MLN while XeniNFO has been contributed to XenSource and is publiclyavailable from the Xen-Unstable repository.
