VyOS on XCP-ng

XCP-ng is a high-performance enterprise-level virtualization platform with a vibrant ecosystem, recognized by industry-leading solutions and designed for server, desktop, and application virtualization. Based on Citrix XenServer Hypervisor, XCP-ng is a fully open-source virtualization platform meaning it’s easily usable from the source and provisioned by continuous improvement of the update process to make it more turnkey, allowing you to build a manageable infrastructure with scalable virtual resources.

Being compatible with most x86 servers on the market, XCP-ng has determined its primary goal – to deliver an easy way for the deployment of a VM-based infrastructure using Xen as a hypervisor and the powerful Xen API Project (XAPI) to provide a turnkey, working out-of-the-box solution for enterprise and data center platforms requiring virtualization.

With XCP-ng’s main product, called Xen Orchestra, a web-based GUI and designed to be the only tool on top of XenServer, you can manage pools, administer VMs, back up your entire infrastructure, and most importantly – get a turnkey complete solution for any version of XenServer.

Having joined the Xen Project under the Linux Foundation, XCP-ng acts as a bridge connecting the user community and developers for the purpose of gathering anyone willing to become a contributor to its ecosystem and manifests the result of massive cooperation and collaboration between individuals and companies to deliver a product without limits – no restricted features, no requirements to purchase licenses.
