Using Abiquo you are able to manage several hypervisors from the same management interface. And you can also deploy the same virtual appliance in different hypervisors. This section provides a list of best practices to achieve maximum compatibility of virtual machine templates.
...
You can use any virtual disk as a template to deploy machines in Abiquo, if it is one of the supported formats (see Template compatibility table). You can install an operating system on a virtual machine deployed directly on a hypervisor, and then distribute the virtual disk file. This virtual disk file is called a virtual machine template. To ensure that your virtual machine template works perfectly, before you distribute it, you should follow these steps on the virtual machine you are generating the template from.
