Canonical OpenStack documentation¶
Canonical OpenStack is an enterprise-grade cloud platform that delivers distilled upstream OpenStack excellence in the form of a human-friendly product.
Canonical OpenStack provides elastic and on-demand compute, network and storage resources to serve IT and business computing needs through a self-service portal or pure upstream OpenStack APIs. It allows for the simplicity and the power of public cloud workflows in cost-effective and sovereign, on-premise environments.
Backed by Sunbeam, Canonical OpenStack uses fully cloud-native architecture underneath to isolate individual components from each other and fully decouple the software from the underlying OS. In the background the product uses various technologies, open-source projects and other Canonical products that are required to form an end-to-end cloud solution.
Sunbeam is an upstream OpenStack project hosted under the governance of the OpenInfra Foundation which aims to lower the barrier to entry for people with no previous OpenStack background and fully revolutionize the operational experience.
