It complements IronCore as an alternative for traditional workloads and ensures backward compatibility. +:wave: Welcome to the official GitHub presence of CobaltCore. We are part of [ApeiroRA](https://apeirora.eu/content/projects/) which is an Important Project of Common European Interest - Next Generation Cloud Infrastructures and Services (IPCEI-CIS). CobaltCore is an opinionated OpenStack distribution that builds upon IronCore’s foundation to support non-cloud-native workloads, offering enhanced features like a micro-frontend self-service portal, advanced scheduling, and offering enhanced features and seamless integration with other components. -The platform introduces value-added services such as a micro-frontend based self-service portal, advanced scheduling and rebalancing, container registry as a service, and integration with Gardener as managed Kubernetes runtime. It also offers extended audit capabilities and customer telemetry services. +## :globe_with_meridians: ApeiroRA? -Ceph is being used as a vendor-neutral storage backend for block, shared, and object storage. The software lifecycle of the stack utilizes OCM and cloud-native lifecycle deployment methodologies. +ApeiroRA is a reference blueprint for an open, flexible, secure, and compliant next-generation cloud-edge continuum and therefore a key contribution to IPCEI-CIS. At a high level, the projects of ApeiroRA allow users to provider-agnostically fetch, request and consume services, and for service providers to describe, offer and provision their services. -The lifecycle for compute, AI, storage, and network hardware is fully automated using the IronCore Metal API and Kubernetes-based operators. Gardener and GardenLinux extensions provides coordinated control-plane maintenance for reliable updates of the hypervisor and storage fleet. Operational concerns are seamlessly integrated with the Greenhouse Operations Platform and Heureka Security Posture Management. +Learn more about ApeiroRA by checking out the official website at [https://apeirora.eu/](https://apeirora.eu/). -# Roadmap +## :handshake: CobaltCore -### 🐧 KVM +CobaltCore complements [IronCore](https://github.com/ironcore-dev) as an alternative for traditional workloads and ensures backward compatibility.
