<div class="moz-cite-prefix">At the bottom end you can use
virsh/libvirt and virt-manager to handle a small to medium number
of VM's over a number of host machines.<br>
<br>
There is also complete distributions like Proxmox that can manage
VM's<br>
<br>
There are several cloud frameworks that will allow you to build
out to large size.<br>
I have worked with a number of the OpenStack toolkits and you can
get reasonable simple installation using RDO Packstack.<br>
<br>
The upside of cloud frameworks over libvirt or proxmox is that you
have better isolation between VMs if that is important to you.<br>
<br>
The biggest problem is that there is SO much choice and all the
products have a lot of capability overlap.<br>
<br>
Are these 50VMs going to be running at the same time or will it be
something like 50 test images and only 1 or 2 running at one time?<br>
<br>
How may host machines to you expect to have?<br>
<br>
Do you plan to have a separate system to manage and co-ordinate
the VMs?<br>
