VM lifecycle
Create, start, stop, suspend, snapshot, clone, live-migrate. Bulk operations across pools.
NIP Platform is a Kubernetes-native XCP-ng management platform: VM lifecycle, snapshot, clone, live migration, template and pool management — with a built-in AI assistant and full audit trail. An XOA alternative for teams that want everything on one control plane.
XOA is the canonical XCP-ng web UI but it stops at the hypervisor boundary. NIP Platform extends XCP-ng management with multi-pool inventory, AI-driven VM ops, audit trail, RBAC, and integration with the rest of your stack (CI/CD, monitoring, backup, security posture).
You can keep using XOA if you want — NIP connects to the XCP-ng API directly and does not replace the hypervisor, only the management plane around it.
Create, start, stop, suspend, snapshot, clone, live-migrate. Bulk operations across pools.
Multi-pool inventory, template registry, golden image rollout.
"Spin up a VM from the staging template on pool A with 8GB RAM" → audited, RBAC-checked.
XCP-ng snapshot-clone integration, off-site backup, restore drills.
Connect to the XCP-ng master, store the API token. Multi-pool supported.
VMs, templates, networks, storage discovered automatically.
Who can touch which pool, which VM, with what action.
Enable natural-language VM ops. Every action audit-logged.
Not exactly — XOA is still useful for hypervisor-level debugging. NIP Platform replaces the management plane around XCP-ng: VM lifecycle, RBAC, audit, AI ops, integration with the rest of your infrastructure.
Yes — direct XAPI calls. No reimplementation of the hypervisor protocol; we read VM state, snapshots, templates, pools from the XCP-ng master and proxy actions through XAPI.
Yes — VM live migration between hosts in the same pool. Pool-to-pool migration requires manual export/import.
Yes — with RBAC and audit. Two-step approval available for production VMs. Every action shows in the audit log with the original natural-language prompt.
