Cloudstack / KVM support

[MdegierNL]

Hi,

We are currently working on setting up a Cloudstack Environment as a replacement for VMware (Cloud director and vCenter).
Currently we are using Veeam B&R for backups and would like to continue to use it.

Are there any plans for a Cloudstack integration with Veeam?

Hello Marcel,
We have had a few requests for the platform. We're not currently developing an integration. You can continue to leverage agents for data protection and leverage API's from CloudStack to build a list if VMs to add to a protection group or use infrastructure management tools to push out agent software.

I'd love to lend my weight to this request. We are currently making the same transition from VMware to Cloudstack/KVM and staying with VBR would be an ideal solution.

Yeah, maybe they could take a look at the OpenNebula integration for Veeam and implement it the same for Cloudstack?
Since both Cloudstack and OpenNebula use KVM as the Hypervisor.

While under the hood, quite a few number of platforms are based on libvirt > Qemu/KVM, the top-level APIs that make up the management plane are often quite unique to the different platforms. There is a technology partner that has contributes to CloudStack that is interested in looking at the UHAPI to see if they can create a translation layer for the platform. There's no ETA on when or if it will work out at this time.
