eryph

Eryph is a handy tool for managing virtual machines, or VMs. It makes the job easier and more efficient with something called Hyper V. Eryph introduces ''catlets,'' which are special VMs that are easy to manage and set up.

Benefits
Eryph brings cloud features to your desktop and local IT systems. It simplifies managing VMs, storage, settings, and virtual networks. This makes it work like managing containers.

Eryph uses a structure where catlets get features from their parent machines, called ''genes.'' This lets you reuse and share settings, making everything more efficient.

Use Cases
Eryph is great for managing VMs in a neat and scalable way. IT pros and developers can use it to make their VM management simpler. It is especially helpful for people who want cloud features on their local and on premises IT systems.

Additional Information
Eryph is still being developed and has an open waitlist for its first beta. The project is licensed under the Business Source License, which lets users try Eryph for different tasks. But using Eryph in a cluster or for commercial hosting needs an extra commercial license.

Eryph is built on popular open source projects like OpenVSwitch for virtual networking and cloud init for setup. It uses Microsoft Hyper V as the main tool, making sure it works well and can grow. The project welcomes community help and support through talks, issues, and pull requests.
