👋 Welcome to the official GitHub presence of CobaltCore. We are part of ApeiroRA 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.

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.
