Olive (Open Library of Images for Virtualized Execution)
Rui's Main observations:
A strength: use streaming for remote VM execution (called "Internet Suspend/Resume"), so a user can interact with a VM before the entire VM is downloaded, similar to Internet video.
- Also related with Brown Dog's
- Seems to focus on streamed execution of legacy software.
- Has overlap with DAP. Only client software is available, server software not released yet. Might be usable for extractors that require a special OS/software environment. Software only available for Linux. Software may not be mature enough. June 2013 presentation listed "thin-client execution in OpenStack" as a future work item.
- Good overview presentation: May 2013, presented to Library of Congress, "Not a Graveyard: The Olive Archive Project". Good technical presentation of the client software VMNetX: June 2013, "Building VMNetX with qemu and libvirt".
