vKaOS - Virtual Appliance Platform

vKaOS is a lightweight virtual appliance platform based on KaOS

It consists of the necessary virtual kernel drivers, configuration and image tools...

 

Carbon Mountain designed vKaOS as a general purpose virtual appliance platform. vKaOS has a specific set of kernel features and virtual kernel drivers enabled. Similar to KaOS the vKaOS platform has an integrated boot image, which looks at the kernel command line for its configuration and obtains its IP configuration from KaOS via DHCP.  

The vKaOS platform retrieves one or more appliance images from the KaOS Hypervisor platform during the initial boot process. It will retrieve any configuration images, attach any network storage mount points for data and then bring up the appliances as configured.  

vKaOS is a flexible platform, additional appliance images can be activated within a vKaOS virtual guest. Existing appliance images can be removed and replaced as required, eliminating the need to constantly setup and tear down virtual machines.  

Carbon Mountain provides vKaOS and a number of basic virtual appliance images for use with vKaOS through AppQueue™.  

The KaOS™ SDK is available for download on the downloads page.
