Use Cases on Cozystack

Using Cozystack to build public cloud

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

You can use Cozystack as backend for a public cloud

Overview

Cozystack positions itself as a kind of framework for building public clouds. The key word here is framework. In this case, it’s important to understand that Cozystack is made for cloud providers, not for end users.

Despite having a graphical interface, the current security model does not imply public user access to your management cluster.

Instead, end users get access to their own Kubernetes clusters, can order LoadBalancers and additional services from it, but they have no access and know nothing about your management cluster powered by Cozystack.

Using Cozystack to build private cloud

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

You can use Cozystack as platform to build a private cloud powered by Infrastructure-as-Code

Overview

One of the use cases is a self-portal for users within your company, where they can order the service they’re interested in or a managed database.

You can implement best GitOps practices, where users will launch their own Kubernetes clusters and databases for their needs with a simple commit of configuration into your infrastructure Git repository.

Using Cozystack as Kubernetes distribution

You can use Cozystack as Kubernetes distribution for Bare Metal

Overview

We created Cozystack primarily for our own needs, having vast experience in building reliable systems on bare metal infrastructure. This experience led to the formation of a separate boxed product, which is aimed at standardizing and providing a ready-to-use tool for managing your infrastructure.

Currently, Cozystack already solves a huge scope of infrastructure tasks: starting from provisioning bare-metal servers, having a ready monitoring system, fast and reliable storage, a network fabric with the possibility of interconnect with your infrastructure, the ability to run virtual machines, databases, and much more right out of the box.
