Marketplace Configuration
By default, an OpenNebula installation includes access to the OpenNebula Marketplace, a public catalog of ready-to-use appliances preconfigured to perform specific services. This section details how to manage public and private marketplaces – including creating your own – and how to explore and manage marketplace appliances
OpenNebula Marketplaces provide a simple way to integrate your cloud with popular application/image providers. Think of them as external datastores.
A Marketplace can be:
- Public: accessible universally by all OpenNebula installations.
- Private: local within an organization and specific for a single OpenNebula (a single zone) or shared by a federation (a collection of zones). If you are interested in setting up your own private marketplace, please follow this guide.
A Marketplace stores Marketplace Appliances. A MarketPlace Appliance includes one or more Images and, possibly, some associated metadata like VM Templates or OpenNebula Multi-VM service definitions.
