Ubicloud

Ubicloud is an open-source cloud platform that aims to provide a decentralized alternative to traditional hyperscale cloud providers. It focuses on building a federated network of providers where individuals and organizations can contribute infrastructure and offer compute, storage, and networking resources. Ubicloud emphasizes transparency and openness: APIs, orchestration, and management layers are open, enabling users to audit and customize their infrastructure instead of relying on proprietary platforms. The system is designed to run workloads in a multi-tenant fashion, providing container and VM orchestration, security isolation, and billing mechanisms. It also addresses portability, encouraging workloads that can move seamlessly between providers in the network. Ultimately, Ubicloud envisions reducing vendor lock-in and creating a more democratic cloud marketplace by combining open-source infrastructure management with federated governance.
