This is a repository of the code produced by the VM-MAD project, funded by the SWITCH AAA scheme.
The aim of VM-MAD is to provide mechanisms for running scientific applications on virtualized infrastructures (clouds). In detail, VM-MAD consists of the following components:
- a repository of VM images and associated metadata;
- a Python library to control the full lifetime of a VM instance on different cloud backends;
- an "orchestrator" component to extend SGE/OGS clusters with virtualized compute nodes;
- command-line tools to access the basic functionality of the above components.
