Eucalyptus - Elastic Utility Computing Architecture Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems - is an open-source software infrastructure for implementing "cloud computing" on clusters. The current interface to Eucalyptus is compatible with Amazon's EC2, S3, and EBS interfaces, but the infrastructure is designed to support multiple client-side interfaces. Eucalyptus is implemented using commonly available Linux tools and basic Web-service technologies making it easy to install and maintain.

Originating in the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara as a research project, the software is now maintained by Eucalyptus Systems -- a company founded by the original authors of the software to continue the effort.
