OpenNebula offers an end-to-end cloud and virtualization management solution, covering the entire stack—from the hypervisor layer to Kubernetes Cluster management. While OpenNebula natively provides core capabilities for virtualization, networking, storage, and backup, it also integrates seamlessly with leading ecosystem technologies to extend its functionality.
Examples include disaggregated and HCI software-defined storage (SDS) solutions like Ceph, StorPool, and Linbit; enterprise SAN systems such as NetApp and Everpure; networking technologies including NVIDIA Spectrum, InfiniBand, and Open vSwitch; backup platforms like Veeam; automation tools such as Terraform and Ansible; and Kubernetes management solutions like Rancher and RKE2.
| -| **Roadmap** |OpenNebula’s roadmap focuses on expanding its hybrid and private cloud capabilities, with continued integration of container orchestration, AI/ML workloads, and advanced automation features. The two main solution areas are VMware replacement and AI Factories, with ongoing work on new advanced features, deeper integration with the vendor ecosystem, and enhanced migration tools. It also emphasizes improved scalability, security, and interoperability across diverse infrastructures, ensuring seamless operation from core data centers to distributed edge environments.
OpenNebula Systems is one of the core participants in the €3B IPCEI-CIS consortium, which brings together leading cloud and edge computing organizations to build the next generation of cloud and edge technologies.
| -| **Mature Software Base** |OpenNebula is developed by OpenNebula Systems in collaboration with its global open source community. Since its initial release in 2008, the platform has delivered hundreds of major, minor, and maintenance updates, demonstrating a long-term commitment to stability, innovation, and enterprise-grade reliability.
| -| **Quality Assurance** |Backed by a rigorous internal quality assurance process and a mature technology base strengthened by a large, active community, OpenNebula ensures proven scalability and performance validated through extensive large-scale production deployments.
| -| **License** |100% software-based solution, with its main source code released under the Apache 2.0 open source license.
| -| **Base Operating Systems** |Debian, Ubuntu, SLES, OpenSUSE, RHEL and compatible enterprise Linux distributions such as AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux.
While OpenNebula does not require vendor-supported Ubuntu Pro or RHEL and supports any production environment end-to-end on Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux, the Enterprise Subscription includes add-ons with built-in versions of Ubuntu Pro, SLES, and RHEL that provide extended security maintenance, compliance certifications, and live patching.
| -| **Full Virtualization** |KVM/QEMU – native integration for hardware-assisted virtualization on Intel and AMD architectures.
| -| **OS-level Virtualization** |Linux Containers (LXC) – lightweight virtualization for fast, efficient workloads and edge environments.
| -| **Supported Architectures** |x86\_64, ARM64 including Ampere, NVIDIA Grace, and Raspberry Pi.
| -| **Front-end Deployment** |The OpenNebula front-end can be installed either on a dedicated front-end server or within virtual machines (VMs) hosted on the hypervisor nodes.
| -| **Installation Methods** |Standard packages for major Linux distributions; automated Ansible deployment via OneDeploy; lightweight evaluation through miniONE.
| -| **Upgrade Process** |Unifies all key enterprise cloud functionalities within a single installation, and ensures long-term stability and performance through a streamlined patching and upgrade process. | -| **VMware Migration Process** |
Comprehensive tools and workflows to enable a seamless transition from VMware to OpenNebula—including OneSwap for automated VM migration, OVA import for direct workload onboarding, and migration processes designed to ensure business continuity with minimal downtime and configuration effort.
