Nebulix
Control-plane-less Cloud

Cloud without the Cloud.

Nebulix is the modern alternative to OpenStack & VMware: one binary per node, zero control plane, Rust-fast, Terraform-friendly.

Bootstrap & Join
$ hv node bootstrap --id 1 --rpc :7001 \
  --api :9001 --data /var/lib/nebulix
$ hv node join --id 2 --rpc :7002 \
  --api :9002 --data /var/lib/nebulix \
  --seed 10.0.0.1:7001

Why Nebulix?

Built for teams who want cloud capabilities without cloud complexity.

Zero Control Plane

Every node runs the same daemon. Raft replication for strong consistency, no DB to babysit.

Rust-fast, Ops-easy

Single static binary. Safe by default. Systemd-native.

Cloud on Bare Metal

VM lifecycle, bridge/VLAN networking, security groups, volumes. Terraform + API.

Scales Cleanly

From 3 to hundreds of nodes; live-migration & EVPN on the roadmap.

Simple CLI, Powerful Results

Get started in minutes with our intuitive command-line interface.

Create a network
$ hv net create prod --cidr 10.20.0.0/16 --vlan 120
$ hv image import ubuntu-22.04 \
  --from s3://images/ubuntu-22.04.qcow2
Launch a VM
$ hv vm create --name api-01 --vcpus 4 \
  --memory 8192 --disk 50G --image ubuntu-22.04 \
  --network prod
