If your cloud bill has become harder to predict than your revenue, OpenMetal is worth a look.
We provide hosted private cloud and dedicated bare metal infrastructure as a service. Our private cloud is built on OpenStack and Ceph, with fully managed hardware, and priced on a flat-rate model that doesn't punish you for growth. No per-resource metering, no egress surprises, no bill that requires a spreadsheet to decode.
Our private cloud platform gives organizations dedicated hardware and full OpenStack access without the overhead of building or maintaining their own infrastructure. Deploy a private cloud in under an hour, integrate with your existing tools, and hand the operational burden to us.
For teams that need raw compute power without virtualization overhead, our bare metal servers offer dedicated hardware with the same transparent pricing and fast deployment. Run standalone or connect directly to an OpenMetal private cloud for a flexible hybrid setup.
OpenMetal is a practical choice for organizations running compute-intensive or latency-sensitive workloads including blockchain validators, AI and machine learning pipelines, high-frequency applications, and regulated industries where data residency and compliance requirements rule out shared public cloud environments.
If you're managing infrastructure costs at scale, moving workloads off a hyperscaler, or simply need dedicated hardware that performs consistently, OpenMetal gives you a straightforward path to get there without building everything yourself.

Hivenet Compute gives you on-demand RTX 5090 and RTX Pro 6000 GPUs, plus vCPU instances, billed per second while they run. Hivenet owns and operates the infrastructure, with data centres in France, the UAE and the US, so EU teams can keep workloads and data in Europe.
Use it for training and fine-tuning, inference, notebooks, rendering and batch jobs. Launch from ready-made templates in a few minutes, or automate everything through the public Compute API. If you'd rather not run the serving layer yourself, the Inference API gives you an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Teams get organisations with role-based access, prepaid credits, and S3-compatible object storage alongside compute.

cloud-init
Cloud images act as templates for operating systems, where every instance starts off as an identical copy of one another. The individual characteristics of each cloud instance emerge from user-specific data, which is automated by the tool known as cloud-init. This tool encompasses a variety of datasource and module references, along with numerous examples to facilitate easier implementation. Although cloud-init was initially developed for Ubuntu, it has been modified to support most prominent Linux distributions and FreeBSD. For those creating cloud images, cloud-init streamlines the differences between various cloud providers automatically, ensuring that the official Ubuntu cloud images remain uniform across all public and private cloud environments. This consistency empowers users to launch their applications without the need to concern themselves with any variations in the underlying infrastructure. Furthermore, the flexibility of cloud-init contributes significantly to the efficiency of cloud resource management.
