Wow - wasn't quite ready for this to go public, but I guess the (Octo)cat is out of the bag now. FathomCloud is an experiment in a really lightweight cloud, supporting existing cloud APIs, starting with the OpenStack API. It uses LXC so you can set it up on any Linux machine, even on EC2. It's also an experiment in trying to figure out new functionality that may be missing from OpenStack or other clouds. Anyone that builds an XaaS (or even a complex website) ends up building a management layer on top of their cloud; there's no point in everyone rebuilding the same thing, and it should probably have a sane API. FathomCloud can replace that management layer. There are definitely lots of rough edges. If anyone wants to try it out, please email me with any issues and I'll do my best. And I'm happy to answer any questions! |
