What is it?

Cloudpods is a multi- and hybrid-cloud management platform written in Go. It lets an organization manage on-premise KVM hosts, bare-metal servers, and VMware vSphere clusters alongside resources from many cloud accounts, hiding provider differences behind a single set of APIs.

The supported providers include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud and several other Chinese public clouds, as well as OpenStack, Proxmox VE and Nutanix. Managed resources cover compute instances, disks, networks, VPCs, load balancers, object storage, RDS, Elastic Cache, DNS and NAS.

The project also includes an AI Cloud module for deploying and scheduling LLM inference services such as Ollama, vLLM and SGLang, plus AI container applications, with GPU detection and model library management.
