Comments about Danube Cloud as an Alternative to SmartOS


- Danube Cloud is Free and Open Source
SmartOS is described as 'Hypervisor lean enough to run entirely in memory, powerful enough to run as much as you want to throw at it. Provisioning is blindingly fast, thanks to zones and ZFS file system creation' and is a Virtualization tool in the os & utilities category. There are more than 10 alternatives to SmartOS for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Self-Hosted, Windows, NVIDIA vGPU and SaaS apps. The best SmartOS alternative is Proxmox Virtual Environment, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like SmartOS are KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), OpenStack, Xen and VMware vSphere Hypervisor.
