Cozystack is a free, open-source cloud platform and framework built on Kubernetes that transforms bare metal servers into a cloud with a REST API for spawning Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, databases-as-a-service, and load balancers. It is a CNCF Sandbox project using Talos Linux, KubeVirt, and Cluster API.
Use cases
- build a private cloud on bare metal servers
- run a public cloud offering Kubernetes clusters as a service
- use as a self-hosted VMware alternative for virtual machines
- deploy a Kubernetes distribution on bare metal
- provide database-as-a-service to internal teams
- create cost-effective development environments with infrastructure-as-code
When to choose
- you want to turn bare metal servers into a multi-tenant cloud platform
- you need an open-source VMware replacement with VMs and Kubernetes on the same infrastructure
- you prefer declarative Kubernetes-native APIs over proprietary cloud consoles
- you want to offer DBaaS, load balancers, and cluster provisioning from your own hardware
When to avoid
- you only need managed Kubernetes in a public cloud
- you lack bare metal servers or a dedicated ops team
- you need a turnkey UI-first cloud with no Kubernetes knowledge
- your workloads are small enough for a single-node setup
