On-premise private clouds require simple, powerful and flexible mechanisms to manage the access privileges to the infrastructure and to dynamically allocate the available resources. OpenNebula's quest for simplicity touches every aspect of the software, and a great effort has been put into the provisioning model. A smooth experience for users entails a proper design of the concepts, ironing out the flow of day to day operations, as well as proper tools for the administrators to manage its cloud. OpenNebula features on-demand provisioning of Virtual Data Centers (VDCs), which are containers for the execution of virtual resources that allow a complete isolation of users, organizations or workloads. This innovative provisioning model offers an integrated and comprehensive framework for resource partition, allocation and isolation in federated data centers and hybrid cloud deployments.
