For virtual machines, you can also take a look at CollabNet CUBiT. It
supports virtualization on different platforms, Windows, Linux and
Solaris. The system can also be used to manage clouds, wherein you can
provision one or more virtual machines from the cloud for defined time
frame. After the specified timeframe the system can be automatically
de-commissioned and such.

It also has the ability to integrate with EC2. IOW, you can provision
EC2 machines from within CUBiT. It also provide Rest based web service
APIs. Using the API the user can provision a host/EC2 node, rebuild
using any OS, reboot the host, etc.
