What is RezusCloud?

RezusCloud is the Personal Cloud: a free, fully open source platform that gives you your own cloud. Run workloads across edge devices, cloud VMs, and bare metal servers with the same simplicity as a managed cloud provider, without the bill.

Personal, not private

The PC made computing personal: you owned the machine instead of renting mainframe time. RezusCloud does the same for cloud infrastructure. You own the hardware, the data, and the computation. No landlord, no lease, no eviction.

Personal means self-managed, not single-user. An enterprise with 200 engineers can run a Personal Cloud. Their Machine Room might be a rack in a data center instead of a Raspberry Pi on a shelf, but it is still theirs.

Key concepts

  • Machine Room — the physical infrastructure you control. A Raspberry Pi at home, a free OCI VM, a Hetzner dedicated server, or a rack in a data center. You plug it in, RezusCloud handles the rest.
  • Golden Path — a tested, fully featured default configuration that covers 90% of real-world use cases. You deploy workloads on top of Kubernetes without needing to operate Kubernetes itself.
  • Builder — anyone who uses the platform: a solo developer, an ML engineer, an ops lead, or a platform team. The person who pushes to git.

Why own your cloud

Problem Rented cloud Personal Cloud
Traffic costs Per-byte egress tolls Data moves through encrypted tunnels between your nodes
Denial of wallet Per-request billing, attackers inflate your bill No per-request billing. No bill to inflate
Egress fees Provider charges for accessing your own files Data stays on your disks
Pricing changes Vendor changes costs at any time Hardware depreciation or a flat lease are predictable for years
Idle resources 30% of cloud spend is pure waste Hardware at any utilization is free headroom
Vendor lock-in Proprietary APIs, migration pain Every component is open source and replaceable
