Ubicloud

Open source alternative to AWS·ubicloud.com

Ubicloud is an open source cloud platform that can run anywhere, providing IaaS services such as elastic compute, block storage, virtual networking, load balancing and firewalling, managed PostgreSQL, managed Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions runners. It runs on bare metal providers like Hetzner, Leaseweb, and AWS Bare Metal, and can either be self-hosted or consumed as a managed service. The managed service is billed on a per-minute, pay-as-you-go basis and is marketed as reducing cloud costs by 3-10x compared to providers like AWS.

What it's for

Running GitHub Actions workflows on managed, isolated, ephemeral runners at lower costManaged PostgreSQL to avoid cloud vendor lock-inCompute/memory-intensive batch processing such as scientific computing or video processingRunning secure virtual machines with encryption in-transit and at-restManaged Kubernetes clusters
