The Cloud BU would like to have the Matahari package delivered as part of RHEL 5.7. Matahari package provides QMF Agents for Linux guests. Further info for decision makers: Matahari provides a set of APIs for OS management that are exposed for remote access over QMF/qpid. Initial users of Matahari agents will be Cloud components (Cloud Engine/Aeolus), and so support for Matahari will initially be limited to Cloud products specifically.
Architectures to be supported by matahari are: ia64, x86, x86_64, ppc and zSeries
