Openstack
OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing platform for building and managing public and private cloud infrastructure at scale. It provides a framework for deploying, configuring, and operating cloud services, orchestrating compute, storage, and networking resources across a datacenter through a unified management layer.
The platform is built on a decoupled service architecture where individual cloud services are developed and versioned independently within their own repositories. This meta-repository tracks interoperable versions of all OpenStack components as verified submodules, with each submodule locked to a commit that has passed the project's integration test suite. This CI-verified commit pinning ensures known-good interoperability across the entire component stack.
All cloud resources are managed through documented REST APIs, enabling programmatic control via command-line clients, a Python SDK, or a web dashboard. The platform supports provisioning compute, storage, and networking resources, as well as configuring installation and deployment options for all cloud services. Deployment tools consume the pinned submodule state to provision a consistent, production-ready cloud environment with guided installation steps.

Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
