The CloudStack alternative with managed services built in

If CloudStack gave you IaaS orchestration and your users keep asking for Kubernetes, databases and one-click apps, edgeContinuum adds that layer on an OpenStack foundation, with the tenancy model and per-resource pricing to match.

Services, not just instances

Provisioning instances is the easy half

Apache CloudStack does what it says: it orchestrates compute, network and storage into an IaaS your users can call. The reason teams start looking for a CloudStack alternative is what sits above that line. Users no longer want an instance, they want a cluster, a database, an application, and every one of those becomes a project for the platform team: install it, upgrade it, monitor it, rescue it. edgeContinuum is built for that half. It manages the OpenStack layer underneath and delivers managed Kubernetes, managed PostgreSQL, VMs and an app marketplace as products in a catalog you curate, with the quotas and per-tenant usage a provider needs.

How the model maps across

Zones, pods and clusters

Platform regions and availability zonesSeveral infrastructures, from data centers to edge sites, connected and shaped into one platform topology.

Domains and accounts

Organizations, projects, roles and quotasStructural isolation enforced by platform IAM, with usage tracked per organization and project for accounting.

Instance self-service

A managed services catalogClusters with autoscaling and in-place upgrades, PostgreSQL with high availability, VMs with networks and firewall rules.

Templates and ISOs

App marketplace with private templatesHelm charts, containers and your own internal applications published as one-click products, rolled out across regions and cluster fleets.

Scripted day-2 operations

Declarative desired stateCluster API and Crossplane keep infrastructure reconciled, so upgrades, scaling and healing are automated rather than scheduled work.

For providers

Sell it as a service

If you run infrastructure for clients, the catalog is the product. Each client is an isolated organization with its own projects, users, roles and quotas; the platform tracks their usage and quota consumption, ready to feed your own pricing and accounting; and you decide which services appear in their catalog.

Operations

Fewer moving parts to babysit

The platform runs as Kubernetes-native microservices and drives your infrastructure from declared desired state, so cluster upgrades, node pool scaling, failed-node replacement and database lifecycle are handled by the system. Regions stay autonomous: a site that loses its link keeps working locally and resyncs when connectivity returns.

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to move to OpenStack?

Yes, OpenStack is the foundation, and that is deliberate: it is mature, open and widely deployed, with the primitives a multi-tenant cloud needs. edgeContinuum manages that layer so your team consumes services rather than operating the plumbing.

What happens to our existing templates and instances?

VM images import into OpenStack with standard tooling and become catalog entries; instances are re-created as platform-managed VMs with their networks, routers and firewall rules. Our engineers work the plan with you.

Can we keep offering plain VMs to customers?

Yes. Virtual machines are a first-class service with image and flavor catalogs, power control, SSH key management and full networking, alongside clusters and databases in the same catalog.

How do we bill our customers?

The platform tracks usage and quota consumption per organization and project, and you export those numbers into your own billing and pricing model.

Can a customer get a dedicated or air-gapped region?

Yes. The same platform runs from a shared SaaS control plane to a fully air-gapped on-premises install, so a customer with strict requirements can be served without a different product.
