Show HN: Cozystack v1.0 – an open-source cloud platform for bare metal
blog.aenix.ioHi HN — we’ve released Cozystack v1.0, the first stable release of our open-source cloud platform (it's a CNCF Sandbox Project).
We built it for a simple use case: when you want the convenience of cloud services, but you want them on your own hardware, under your own control, with your own economics.
Cozystack turns bare metal into a cloud platform that can provide VMs, managed Kubernetes, databases, load balancers, GPU as a Service and other services through a unified platform model. It’s especially relevant for hosting providers, regulated companies like banks, and startups that are tired of building around public cloud costs and lock-in.
v1.0 is a big release for us: we reworked core platform packaging and operations around the v1 model, documented the v0.41 → v1.0 upgrade path, and made the ready-to-use platform flow much more explicit. The current docs position v1 as the stable branch and include provider-oriented variants like isp-full.
If you’re trying to build your own cloud instead of renting one forever, I’d love your feedback. A bit more context: we’re building Cozystack for operators who want cloud-like APIs and self-service, but on top of infrastructure they own and control. The stable v1.0 release is the point where we feel the platform is ready to be used not just for experiments, but as a foundation for real production environments.
