What is Wok?
Wok is a cherrypy-based web framework with HTML5 support originated from Kimchi. It can be extended by plugins which expose functionality through REST APIs.
Examples of such plugins are Kimchi (Virtualization Management); Ginger Base (Basic host management) and; Ginger (System Administration).
Wok runs through wokd daemon.
