Abstract
Recently, virtualization technology is growing in popularity. The virtualization solution such as Xen is becoming more and more mature, but the virtual machine management tools are not perfect yet, especially when it comes to the virtual machine cluster management.
This paper presents a friendly tool that we are developing for virtual machine cluster management named VE-manager. VE-manager can deploy and manage virtual machines in a cluster environment without considering the differences of the underlying virtualization technology. Benefiting from live migration technology, VE-manager can also achieve load balancing at the level of virtual machines.
