'''Nimbus''' is a toolkit that, once installed on a [[Cluster (computing)|cluster]], provides an [[infrastructure as a service]] [[cloud computing|cloud]] to its client via [[Web Services Resource Framework|WSRF]]-based or [[Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud|Amazon EC2]] [[Web Services Description Language|WSDL]] [[web service]] [[Application programming interface|APIs]]. Nimbus is [[free and open-source software]], subject to the requirements of the [[Apache License]], version 2.<ref name="NIMBUS">[https://www.hpcwire.com/2011/01/25/lessons_from_the_grid_an_interview_with_argonne_s_kate_keahey/ Lessons from the Grid: An Interview with Argonne’s Kate Keahey], by Nicole Hemsoth, in ''HPCwire''; published 25 January 2011; retrieved 13 May 2020</ref>

Nimbus supports both the [[hypervisor]]s [[Xen]] and [[Kernel-based Virtual Machine|KVM]] and virtual machine schedulers [[Portable Batch System]] and [[Oracle Grid Engine]]. It allows deployment of self-configured virtual clusters via contextualization.<ref>K.[[Kate Keahey | Keahey, TK.]], Freeman, T. (2008). "Contextualization: Providing One-Click Virtual Clusters", 2008 Fourth [[IEEE]] International Conference on eScience, pp.301-308. {{doi|10.1109/eScience.2008.82}}</ref> It is configurable with respect to scheduling, networking leases, and usage accounting.
