phpVirtualBox is an open source, AJAX implementation of the VirtualBox user interface written in PHP. As a modern web interface, it allows you to access and control remote VirtualBox instances. Much of its verbage and some of its code is based on the vboxweb project.
(http://phpvirtualbox.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/images/phpvbsm.png)
phpVirtualBox was created for people (like me) who prefer not to have to log in to their headless VirtualBox host to administer their virtual machines. Its features include:
Start / Stop VMs
-- Pause
-- Save State
-- Discard State
-- Power Off
-- ACPI Sleep
-- ACPI Shutdown
Snapshots
-- Take Snapshot
-- Delete Snapshot
-- Restore Snapshot
-- View / Edit snapshot
View VM Log files
Configure VMs
-- Excludes serial port configuration
-- Excludes some display options that do not affect a headless environment
Media
-- Add media
-- Full featured virtual media manager
-- Create hard disk wizard
-- Mount read-only media (DVD/CD and Floppy images) while VM is running
-- Clone disk images
-- Make disk image Immutable (read-only)
Create virtual machine wizard
Global networking configuration
-- Add / remove / configure host-only interfaces
-- Configure DHCP settings for host-only interfaces
Import / Export Virtual Machine Wizards
Virtual Machine Console access
-- Allows specification of username / password and screen resolution
-- Can be "detached" to open the VM's console in a minimal, new browser window

Packer is a useful application for the users who need to create virtual machine images that can be used on multiple platforms. This package includes multiple command line tools that enable you to create identical images with minimum effort.
The tools support VMware, VirtualBox, Amazon EC2 or DigitalOcean platforms out of the box and enable you to extend their usage by using plugins.

Packer is a useful application for the users who need to create virtual machine images that can be used on multiple platforms. This package includes multiple command line tools that enable you to create identical images with minimum effort.
The tools support VMware, VirtualBox, Amazon EC2 or DigitalOcean platforms out of the box and enable you to extend their usage by using plugins.

IMPROVEMENTS:
We've extracted a majority of HashiCorp-maintained and community plugins from the Packer Core repository. They now live in their own multi-component plugin repositories. This is not a breaking change as we are enabling backwards compatibility in this release by vendoring components back into Packer. However, we encourage users to begin using packer init to download and install plugins to get the latest updates to each plugin, and to prepare for Packer v2.0 when we will stop vendoring the above plugins into the main Packer binary.
The following repositories have been created, and their components have been deleted from the "github.com/hashicorp/packer" repository.
