The document discusses Apache CloudStack, an open-source cloud computing platform. It provides an overview of CloudStack's history and community. It also describes how to set up a development environment using DevCloud, a preconfigured virtual appliance for running CloudStack. Key points include that CloudStack is now fully open source under Apache 2.0 license, has a 4.1 release with new features, and DevCloud provides an easy way for developers to test CloudStack without installing infrastructure.

14. DevCloud
Introduction
• DevCloud is a virtual appliance shipped as
an OVA image which runs on VirtualBox
• DevCloud I by Edison Su
• CloudStack 4.0 and before
• DevCloud II by Rohit Yadav
• CloudStack 4.1/4.2
• DevCloud-KVM/DevCloud-KVM

15. Why DevCloud
• To solve the problem of infrastructure
availability for development and testing
• Don't need to install hypervisor,
primary/secondary storage, e.t.c.
• Platform-independent Sandbox
