Introduction

Project FiFo is an open-source Cloud Management and Orchestration system for SmartOS.

Established in March 2012 with a single uncompromising development objective - to be the most solid, efficient and reliable foundation for production cloud Infrastructure. All FiFo core services are written from the ground up for stability, speed, clustering, fault tolerance and resilience.

FiFo uses LeoFS as its required storage platform of choice. LeoFS is an unstructured, highly available & distributed S3 Compatible Object Store.

Project FiFo does NOT require any dedicated hardware and uses standard SmartOS and regular zones - without creating any interdependency for virtual machines to function. All operations are performed via the comprehensive FiFo API.

Spinning up a fully operational FiFo cloud is essentially a 2 stage process.

1. Setup LeoFS Storage

2. Install FiFo
