- Remove config opts and orchestrator ctor document redundancy

- Make "atomic" an attribute of orchestrator

- A bit reordering of opts

- Cleanup and rename inception.conf.sample

- Some other minors: Authors, setup.py

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.

For more information, please refer to our HotCloud'13 paper

The code is rapidly evolving. Stay tuned!
