Getting started with KVM coming from Vmware
hi guys

In order to test new ideas and reduce cost I would like to test KVM.
I think Vmware has these 3 things which are valuable:
- HA which restart VMs (Virtual Machines) in other hosts when a Hardware failure.
- DRS which basically is an intelligent VM placement when a hosts is overcommited
- vMotion which migrates VMs up and running to other hosts.

So my question:
Can I get those 3 features using KVM? I suppose I need a KVM Central Console equivalent to vCenter?

is there such console offering those 3 things? for free?
Will Openstack cover those 3?

is just I need to talk to my boss about moving to KVM but I know for sure he will ask OK...does it have the same capabilities as Vmware has?

thanks a lot guys

Have a look at Proxmax VE. It comes close to what you are looking for.
