Seconlay#
Purpose#
Seconlay (in short SCL) is an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) system, that makes it possible to manage virtual machines in isolated environments.
Warning
Please note that the SCL implementation is a prototype and some parts are missing a production-ready implementation: Specifically, the layer 3 networking functions are only intended for testing and demonstration purposes. Apart from that, core features required for multi-node use cases are a work in progress. This includes redundancy capabilities (so multiple instances of individual controllers split the available work in a smart way) and an enhanced, conflict-free scheduler. Additionally, use-case specific, automated testing will be necessary and some adaptations and cleanup may be required in the codebase to enable productive usage of the SCL components.
