Ganeti is a virtual machine cluster management tool developed by Google. The solution stack uses either Xen or KVM as the virtualization platform, LVM for disk management, and optionally DRBD for disk replication across physical hosts. Since 2007 Ganeti is developed and released as free and open-source software, subject to the requirements of the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2.

Ganeti is essentially a wrapper around existing hypervisors which makes it convenient for system administrators to setup a cluster. It is used by Google for its Internal Computing Infrastructure and also used by the Open Source Lab for hosting world's top open source projects.

The first International Ganeti Conference, Ganeticon 2013 was held in Greece from 3rd till 5 September 2013.
