OpenStack

Power your cloud with OpenStack

OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed and provisioned through APIs with common authentication mechanisms. Dashboards are also available, giving administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface. There are OpenStack CLI tools and SDKs giving operators the flexibility to create OpenStack cloud applications in the language of their choice. Supported languages include Go, Python, Ruby, and Java.

OpenStack Compute provides powerful, scalable virtualization for your cloud. It manages virtual machines, bare metal, and container workloads with full flexibility. Highly reliable and secure, Nova ensures enterprises can deploy applications quickly while optimizing performance and resource usage.

Nova – Manages and automates the provisioning of virtual machines, bare metal, and containerized workloads.

Zun – Provides container management as a service, allowing users to run and manage containers without complex orchestration.

Ironic – Bare metal provisioning service for managing physical machines as part of the cloud.

Magnum – Container orchestration engine provisioning (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Mesos) integrated with OpenStack.

Cyborg – Manages and accelerates workloads using hardware accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs, and smart NICs.
