'''CloudStack''' is [[Open-source software|open-source]] [[Infrastructure as a service#Infrastructure|Infrastructure-as-a-Service]] [[cloud computing]] software for creating, managing, and deploying [[IaaS|infrastructure cloud services]]. It uses existing [[hypervisor]] platforms for virtualization, such as [[Kernel-based Virtual Machine|KVM]], [[VMware vSphere]], including [[VMware ESXi|ESXi]] and [[vCenter]], and [[Xen|XenServer/XCP]]. and [[XCP-ng]]. In addition to its own API, CloudStack also supports the [[Amazon Web Services]] (AWS) API<ref name="cloudstack software">{{cite web | url=http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.2/html/Installation_Guide/aws-ec2-supported-commands.html | title=Supported AWS API Calls | access-date=May 17, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130626212551/http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.2/html/Installation_Guide/aws-ec2-supported-commands.html | archive-date=June 26, 2013 | url-status=dead }}</ref> and the [[Open Cloud Computing Interface]] from the [[Open Grid Forum]].<ref name="cloudstack occi">{{cite web | url=http://sebgoa.blogspot.com/2013/11/occi-interface-to-cloudstack.html | title=OCCI Interface to CloudStack | date=5 November 2013 | access-date=Feb 26, 2014 | archive-date=8 March 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140308223504/http://sebgoa.blogspot.com/2013/11/occi-interface-to-cloudstack.html | url-status=live }}</ref>
