According to The Register NASA have started to build a private Nebula Cloud based on Ubuntu 10 and Eucalyptus Enterprise 2 which will likely underpin websites across the federal government.
Eucalyptus Enterprise works with the Xen and KVM hypervisors and the latest version has now been ported to VMware hypervisors as well, allowing for installation atop VMware’s vSphere, ESXi, and ESX virtualization technologies. The Eucalyptus Enterprise edition also includes an image converter that helps users develop VMware-based applications that are compatible with Amazon EC2.

According to The Register Red Hat are replacing Xen with KVM in RHEL 6 !
One of the main goals for RHEL 6 was to make managing virtual servers as easy as managing physical machines, which means the bulk of the new software features are found in KVM. It also means that Xen is gone, though that’s hardly surprising since Red Hat purchased Qumranet – creators of KVM – back in 2008.

According to V3 the hosting firm Rackspace is preparing to bring its cloud services into the UK with a Xen-based offering for the SMB market, and hybrid public-private services based on VMware for larger enterprise customers.
Due in the fourth quarter of 2010, the services will be similar to those already available in the US, but will be delivered from Rackspace datacentres in the UK.
The company expects to be one of the first major players to site public cloud infrastructure in the UK with this move.
Rackspace is offering enterprise customers the ability to build a private cloud based on VMware’s vCloud platform, and expand it on demand using resources from the public cloud if necessary.
