OpenStack

What is OpenStack?

OpenStack is the world's most popular open source cloud computing platform that provides infrastructure as a service (IaaS). It allows organizations to build and manage public and private clouds, giving you complete control over your cloud infrastructure.

Leafcloud runs on OpenStack

At Leafcloud, our sustainable cloud infrastructure is powered by OpenStack. This means you get access to enterprise-grade cloud capabilities while benefiting from our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Infrastructure as Code

OpenStack's open APIs make it perfect for modern DevOps workflows. Leafcloud's OpenStack platform provides full support for:

  • Terraform - Define and provision your entire cloud infrastructure using declarative configuration files
  • Ansible - Automate instance deployment, configuration management, and orchestration at scale

This infrastructure-as-code approach allows you to version control your infrastructure, automate deployments, and maintain consistent environments across your development lifecycle.
