Open Source Cloud Projects

Cloud computing provides on-demand access to computing, storage, networking, and managed services over the internet or a private network. It helps organizations scale resources as needs change, deploy applications across locations, and reduce the effort of operating physical infrastructure. Cloud platforms can also support private environments where teams need greater control over data, costs, or configuration.

Open source cloud tools include infrastructure platforms, deployment and management software, service integrations, and resources for working with cloud APIs. When choosing one, consider its maturity, license, maintenance activity, hardware and software requirements, security model, and compatibility with existing systems. These tools are useful to developers, operators, researchers, and organizations building or managing cloud environments, from individual workloads to larger infrastructure.
