Eucalyptus cloud networking modes address two basic questions: Who assigns IP addresses? Can I use advanced features, like VLANs and Security Groups?

The networking modes supported in Eucalyptus are SYSTEM,STATIC, and MANAGED (plus MANAGED-NOVLAN).

SYSTEM Mode

SYSTEM is the default networking mode for Eucalyptus clouds. It assumes that virtual machine instances will be assigned IP addresses by an external DHCP...

Thank you for a phenomenal 2011. This has been a year of enacting change, building strength and experiencing growth for Eucalyptus. The year of 2011 started with questions. How big would the market for private cloud software platforms be? Who are the real contenders? What about hybrid clouds?

Here at Eucalyptus, we are ending the year on a high note. We have expanded our installed base and our market faster than planned and faster than ever before. In this year we added more...
