## What it is
Mist CE is an open-source multicloud management platform providing a unified web interface, RESTful API, and CLI to manage public clouds, private clouds, hypervisors, containers, and bare metal. It supports provisioning, orchestration, monitoring, SSH access with audit logging, and cost reporting across 20+ infrastructure technologies.

## Use cases
- manage aws and openstack resources from one dashboard
- provision vms and kubernetes clusters across multiple clouds
- estimate current cloud infrastructure costs
- run scripts on machines with centralized ssh key control and audit logging
- browser-based ssh shell into cloud machines
- self-host a multicloud management console with docker compose or helm

## When to choose
- you need a unified interface over many clouds, hypervisors, and containers
- you want a DIY self-hosted multicloud console with an API and CLI
- you need centralized SSH access with audit logging across your fleet

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - CE only receives community security fixes since the Dell acquisition
- you need advanced cost insights, right-sizing, or RBAC - those were Enterprise-only and are discontinued
- you prefer a managed/hosted service - the hosted offering is no longer available
