This sounds very nice…
Thank you
...but sorry, why do you use a richfat and plumby Java backend? There are a lot of smaller, ressource efficient, incomplex and easier to handle open source technologies - even full oo - available to build such a HTML management front- and even backend?
We agree that in comparison to xm/xl/xe, running a Java stack might seem to be a bit on the heavy side. Yet we'd like to note that our back-end is nothing like Tomcat or Glassfish, it contains only the bare minimum needed to do its work.
To elaborate choosing Java for our back-end:
- Java applications can be deployed on a wide variety of operating systems, if not all.
- Eventually the back-end will also be orchestrating pools or clusters.
- The back-end parses responses and shrinks updates down to only the bare minimum, limiting bandwidth use by the front-end.
- The back-end allows access to your servers over a single TCP/IP port, the Xen-API will not be publicly exposed.
- Again we’re not running a whole Java EE stack, the front-end is a webapp that lives on its own and communicates with the backend over a WebSocket connection.
- Coupled with Cassandra, the back-end is the only thing that needs to be run (one single instance), for any number of hosts.
