OpenStack

Cloud operating system controlling compute pools

About OpenStack

OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources through APIs and dashboards. It is typically installed on Linux servers or containers and administered through configuration files, a CLI, or a built-in web interface. Users who outgrow a hosted free tier often choose it to remove limits while keeping the same familiar workflow they already know.
