CloudCluster

CloudCluster is a platform that aggregates compute, storage, and networking resources into scalable clusters across public clouds, private clouds, and on-premises data centers. It provides a unified control plane and a consistent operational model to simplify deployment and governance of distributed workloads.

Architecture and components: The architecture includes a control plane responsible for orchestration, policy, and authentication; a data plane of cluster nodes running workloads; and adapters that connect to cloud providers, storage systems, and networking overlays. It commonly exposes a container-orchestration API, enabling workloads to run with minimal changes, and supports multi-cloud scheduling and data locality.

Features: Elastic resource scaling driven by policies; centralized observability; unified identity and access management; encryption and network segmentation for security; cross-cloud workload placement; disaster recovery and backup capabilities; and cost governance tools.

Deployment and usage: It can be deployed as a managed service or installed on customer infrastructure, and provides a CLI and GUI, templates, and automation APIs for common workflows.

Applications and use cases: Suitable for hybrid or multi-cloud deployments, data analytics across regions, disaster recovery, platform engineering, and regulated workloads requiring consistent policy enforcement.

History and status: CloudCluster targets unified multi-cloud resource management and has evolved with emphasis on security, resilience, and interoperability through adapters and open standards.
