There are two principal components of an OpenNebula cloud deployment:</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>OpenNebula Front-end</strong>: This is the control plane of an OpenNebula cloud deployment. The Front-end enables the deployment of Cluster nodes for handling cloud workloads along with the deployment and management of Virtual Machines, Virtual Networks, Kubernetes Clusters, cloud monitoring, user and security management.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://docs.opennebula.io/7.4/product/cluster_configuration/hosts_and_clusters/cluster_guide/"><strong>OpenNebula Clusters</strong></a>: Logical groupings of Hosts, datastores and Virtual Networks that provide compute capacity. The OpenNebula Front-end deploys and manages Clusters using either on-premises hardware or resources from 3rd-party IaaS providers. Through the Edge Provisioning model, the Front-end can dynamically deploy and undeploy Edge Clusters on remote providers to scale cloud compute capacity on demand.</p>
