About xCAT
xCAT (Extreme Cloud Administration Toolkit) is an open source tool designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of bare metal servers and virtual machines. It offers comprehensive management capabilities for high-performance computing clusters, render farms, grids, web farms, online gaming infrastructures, clouds, and data centers. xCAT provides an extensible framework based on years of system administration best practices, enabling administrators to discover hardware servers, execute remote system management, provision operating systems on physical or virtual machines in both disk and diskless modes, install and configure user applications, and perform parallel system management. The toolkit supports various operating systems, including Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, and CentOS, and is compatible with architectures such as ppc64le, x86_64, and ppc64. It integrates with management protocols like IPMI, HMC, FSP, and OpenBMC, facilitating remote console access.

Amazon EKS Anywhere
Amazon EKS Anywhere is a new deployment option for Amazon EKS that enables you to easily create and operate Kubernetes clusters on-premises, including on your own virtual machines (VMs) and bare metal servers. EKS Anywhere provides an installable software package for creating and operating Kubernetes clusters on-premises and automation tooling for cluster lifecycle support. EKS Anywhere brings a consistent AWS management experience to your data center, building on the strengths of Amazon EKS Distro (the same Kubernetes that powers EKS on AWS.) EKS Anywhere saves you the complexity of buying or building your own management tooling to create EKS Distro clusters, configure the operating environment, update software, and handle backup and recovery. EKS Anywhere enables you to automate cluster management, reduce support costs, and eliminate the redundant effort of using multiple open source or 3rd party tools for operating Kubernetes clusters. EKS Anywhere is fully supported by AWS.

Rocks
Rocks is an open source Linux cluster distribution that enables end users to easily build computational clusters, grid endpoints, and visualization tiled-display walls. Since May 2000, the Rocks group has been addressing the difficulties of deploying manageable clusters with the goal of making clusters easy to deploy, manage, upgrade, and scale. The latest update, Rocks 7.0, codenamed Manzanita, is a 64-bit-only release based upon CentOS 7.4, with all updates applied as of December 1, 2017. Rocks include many tools, such as Message Passing Interface (MPI), which are integral components that make a group of computers into a cluster. Installations can be customized with additional software packages at install time by using special user-supplied CDs. The Spectre/Meltdown security vulnerabilities affect (nearly) all hardware and are addressed by OS updates.

SafeKit
Evidian SafeKit is a high-availability software solution designed to ensure the redundancy of critical applications on Windows and Linux platforms. It provides an all-in-one approach by integrating load balancing, synchronous real-time file replication, automatic application failover, and automated failback after a server failure, all within a single software product. This eliminates the need for additional hardware components such as network load balancers or shared disks, as well as the necessity for enterprise editions of operating systems and databases. SafeKit's software clustering facilitates the creation of mirror clusters with real-time data replication and failover, farm clusters with load balancing and failover, and advanced architectures like farm+mirror clusters and active-active clusters. Its shared-nothing architecture simplifies deployment, even in remote sites, by avoiding the complexities associated with shared disk clusters.
