Both Eucalyptus and OpenNebula are included in the repositories for the newest version of Ubuntu (9.04). With all things considered, Efforts will likely be focused on Eucalyptus. Some of the main reasons are that it’s now a focus for Canonical, it’s interface is compatible with Amazon’s EC2, S3, and EBS interfaces, so basically any third-party tools “should” work with Eucalyptus, and they just landed $5.5M in funding.
