Superphenix

Superphenix turns your own hardware into a complete cloud platform. It covers virtualization, networking, storage and managed services, all operated from a console or through GitOps. It started inside a cloud service provider that was leaving a proprietary stack, and it's aimed at teams that want sovereign infrastructure without VMware-style lock-in.

Kubernetes sits underneath as the control plane, so one API manages compute, storage and network. VMs run next to containers in the same network domains and are managed declaratively.

• Hypervisor: VMs, live migration, snapshots and node autoscaling
• Storage: block, file and S3 storage with replication and disaster recovery
• Software-defined network: VPCs, NAT gateways, BGP, load balancing, QoS and firewalling
• PaaS: Kubernetes as a Service for tenant clusters, with managed databases coming soon
• GitOps and observability: install, upgrade and provision through declarative pipelines, with metrics, logs, traces and health signals across layers

Two deployment topologies are supported. Hyperconverged shares compute and storage nodes, which suits single-AZ setups and proof of concepts. Decoupled separates storage and virtualization so each scales on its own, which fits performance-focused and multi-AZ deployments. A management cluster outside the workload zones can run several AZs from one neutral control plane.

The project is open, auditable and self-hostable by default. Rayshift offers optional enterprise support, including advanced multi-tenancy, IAM, SLA-backed support and migration paths from VMware and other legacy virtualization stacks.
