What is Archipel?

Archipel is an Open Source project that aims to bring push notifications to virtualization orchestration using XMPP.

Archipel relies on open source technologies like python, ejabberd, cappuccino, strophe, nginx, libvirt, KVM and even more. All of these technologies are mixed together to create a real time orchestration solution for virtualization.

Thanks to Archipel you are be able to:

Visualize in real time the states of virtual machines and hypervisors
Send real time commands to them
Communicate inside the orchestrator with other human users
Organize virtual machines and hypervisors into groups and send commands to them
Connect distant datacenters in a secure way using XMPP S2S communication
Even use Archipel with XMPP client in order to receive your VMs notifications
Avoid the presence of SPOF. If a something fails, everything else still works
Use it with KVM, Xen, OpenVZ, VirtualBox, and mix them all if you want to
Have a great real time interface
And so much more to come!
