Introduction to the Kimchi project


Kimchi is an HTML5-based management tool for KVM. Among the various tools listed on http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools, to manage KVM infrastructure, Kimchi is simple to configure and use. The management console provided by Kimchi is feature-rich and cross browser and platform. It is also a perfect tool for any small organization that wants to create its own private cloud without investing considerable resources and money.

You can also create templates and use ISO images to create new virtual machines....
