OpenStack

Cleura Cloud is built around the OpenStack Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform.

Thus, most Cleura Cloud components correspond to OpenStack services:

• Compute (Nova) is the service you use for launching and managing virtual servers.
• Networking (Neutron) allows you to manage virtual networks and connectivity.
• Load balancing (Octavia) is for managing load balancers supporting the TCP and HTTP(S) protocols.
• Block storage (Cinder) provides persistent block storage for virtual servers.
• Image management (Glance) provides ready-to-launch, preconfigured operating system images for virtual servers.
• Kubernetes management (Magnum) enables you to launch and manage Kubernetes clusters. This is one of two ways you can manage Kubernetes clusters in Cleura Cloud; the other is Gardener.
• Identity (Keystone) is for managing credentials and authentication.
• Secret storage (Barbican) provides key and secret management.

Cleura Cloud does not natively implement OpenStack Swift, but it does support object storage that is compatible with the Swift API.
