Inception: Towards a Nested Cloud Architecture
=========
Inception Clouds are built entirely on top of the virtual resources
acquired from todays clouds, and provide nested VMs to end users.
Inception Clouds enable:
- Acceleration of continuous integration for open-source cloud
management software such as OpenStack
- Hypervisor flexibility: VM live migration, VM replication for high
availability, instant VM spawning under high load demand, intrusion
detection by customizing Dom0 firewall...
- App-specific resource allocation: customize subscription ratio, VM
consolidation
- Low operation overhead: no physical metals, therefore no worry on
issues like cooling, power, cabling, rack design, malfunctioned
hardware replacement, data center real estate
- Spanning across multiple providers: both private and public clouds
over geographically wide area
Essentially, Inception Clouds enable entire control of your cloud,
with even less operation overhead.

The code is rapidly evolving. Stay tuned!
