  • terraform-provider-libvirt

    Terraform provider to provision infrastructure with Linux's KVM using libvirt

  • I saw Terraform with the dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt provider, but sadly didn't get really warm with it. When some can explain to me how I can set up new images for every VM I would be very happy also there are more question in the pipeline. Sadly, the “Documentation” is not really that good. Maybe Terraform is also the wrong Application for me. I'm a little lost because I thought Terraform would be the big Solution I want and need, until now, not yet.

  • virt-installs

    libvirt scripts for various operating systems (KVM instead of QEMU)

  • i have a bunch of virt-install scripts, they configure the vm settings and then either run a kickstart/autoyast/preseed to install the OS, or import an image. similar to what virt-builder does.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
