Get started with Rackspace OpenCloud


HOW IT WORKS

Get Started in Minutes

CHOOSE YOUR PREFERRED CLOUD SERVER TYPE

Choose your preferred server class - whether General Purpose, Compute Heavy or
Memory Heavy. Available in configurations from 1-16 vCPUs, and 1-120GB of RAM.


SET YOUR OWN PRICE BY MAKING A BID

To make a bid, specify the highest price you are willing to pay for the selected
configuration. Available servers are allocated in an open market auction, so you
will have your servers for as long as the market price is below your maximum bid
price.


CONSUME VIA KUBECTL

Your allocated servers are delivered in a Cloudspace, which includes a fully
managed Kubernetes control plane. We fully manage the K8s stack, including the
control plane nodes, so you can focus on getting things done using K8s.

Operate with Confidence

STAY IN CONTROL AS PRICES AND CAPACITY CHANGE

Make informed bids using our “bid price insights” that show you capacity
availability at different price thresholds. You can also set alerts to be
informed as market conditions change. Finally, if the market price rises above
your max bid price, you will be notified.


AUTOMATE WITH TERRAFORM

Automate the provisioning, pre-emption handling, and reconfiguration of your
Cloudspaces using our Terraform provider. Deploy and operate Cloudspaces with 1
simple command.

KEY BENEFITS

OPEN MARKET LOWERS PRICES

FULLY MANAGED KUBERNETES

RICH ADD-ONS

Bid for cloud servers from Rackspace's large inventory of cloud capacity. Bids
are fulfilled by an open market auction, within minutes.

The market price for servers is determined by the final cut-off price in the
auction. Existing bids for capacity are not pre-empted unless the market price
exceeds the highest price in the bid.

Leverage Kubernetes, without the complexity of managing all the moving parts.
The Kubernetes control plane is fully managed, so you don't have to worry about
configuring high availability, upgrades, or troubleshooting.

In addition, OpenCloud comes out of the box with two storage classes for
persistent storage (ssd and sata), a network-policy capable CNI (using Calico),
and load balancers.

Bring your own favorite K8s helm charts of Operators today, while our engineers
are hard at work to include these out-of-the-box, including:

 * DBaaS operators
 * Cluster backup
 * Enhanced monitoring
 * Security scanning
 * ML/Ops tooling
