CobaltCore

CobaltCore is a reimagined, opinionated, and Kubernetes enabled OpenStack distribution, fully embedded with other projects of ApeiroRA. It complements IronCore and bridges the obligation to support the numerous non-cloud-native workloads by ensuring backward compatibility. The resulting, well-known Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering is augmented with value-added capabilities, such as a novel, micro-frontend based self-service portal, advanced scheduling and rebalancing, container registry as a service, and integration with Gardener and GardenLinux.

Furthermore, CobaltCore offers coordinated control-plane maintenance, reliable updates of the compute (hypervisor) and storage fleet, extended audit capabilities and customer telemetry services. Operational requirements are seamlessly integrated with the Greenhouse Operations Platform and security posture management. As with all projects, the software lifecycle utilizes OCM methodology and best practice, wherein Kubernetes-based operators automate the inner lifecycle for all concerns.
