Introduction
The Cloudsphere efficiently manages your cloud infrastructures 🚀
The Cloudsphere's mission statement is:
Automate infrastructure as code (IaC) provisioning at any scale, at any cloud or data center with any tool. Through a single central API. Freely definable cloud infrastructures at the push of a button as self-service.
Overview​
What is The Cloudsphere?​
- an attempt to realise a small code base for API, orchestrator and runner services (less than 5000 SLOCs)
What is The Cloudsphere not?​
- an alternative to Infrastructure as Code tool X
Terminology​
Environment​
An environment contains all the necessary runtime components to execute Infrastructure as Code contained in a Blueprint.
Blueprint​
A Blueprint contains everything needed to create a cloud infrastructure in the form of Infrastructure as Code.
Input​
Blueprints, environments, and deployments can be passed any inputs at runtime. These inputs are assembled in templates and then assigned.
Template​
Deployment​
A deployment executes an environment in a blueprint with a given parameterization (template).
State​
Log​
Individual executions generate logs. For example, a deployment or a reconcilation. The generated STDOUT and STDERR as well as the exit code are stored in the database.
For example, this is the output of Terraform, which is currently performing a DESTROY action.

Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution
plan. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
- destroy
Terraform will perform the following actions:
# openstack_compute_secgroup_v2.tcs will be destroyed
- resource "openstack_compute_secgroup_v2" "tcs" {
- description = "hello-world security group" -> null
