synnefo is opensource software, used to create massively scalable IaaS clouds. |
7 |
|
8 |
| You can see synnefo in action, powering GRNET's |
9 |
`~okeanos cloud service <https://okeanos.grnet.gr>`_. |
10 |
| It is a collection of components (snf-*), most of them written in python, that |
11 |
are used as the building bricks to provide the following services: |

Compute/Network Service (codename: cyclades) <cyclades> |

Volume Storage Service (codename: archipelago) <archipelago> |

There are also components for: |

Command-line cloud management (kamaki tool) <http://docs.dev.grnet.gr/kamaki/v0.2/index.html> |

synnefo is designed to be as simple, scalable and production ready as possible. |
32 |
Furthermore, although it can be deployed in small configurations, its prime |
33 |
target is large installations. If you are planning for the latter, you should |
34 |
first be completely aware of what you want to provide, the architecture of your |
35 |
cluster/s and synnefo's overall architecture before you start deploying. |
36 |
|
37 |
All synnefo components use an intuitive settings mechanism, that gives you the |
38 |
ability to either deploy the above services independently and standalone, or |
39 |
interconnected with each other, in large configurations. |

Synnefo Guides |
43 |
============== |
44 |
|
45 |
There are 3 guides for Synnefo. The Administrator's Guide targets system |
46 |
administrators, who want to deploy synnefo on small or large installations. The |
47 |
Developer's Guide targets developers, who want to build on top of synnefo and so |
48 |
describes all the different types of interfaces synnefo provides to the external |
49 |
world. The Integrator's Guide targets developers, who want to actually |
50 |
extend/modify/change synnefo itself, so describes synnefo's indepth architecture |
51 |
and the internals of synnefo components. |
