mclu (mini cluster) is a virtualization cluster manager.

The key features:

 - Entirely command line driven.

 - No required dependencies except libvirt and ssh.

 - Only designed for tiny clusters (up to around 10 hosts).

 - Nothing to install on the nodes except libvirtd and sshd.

 - Single, simple configuration file.
