What is OpenStack?

OpenStack is a collection of open source projects designed to work together to form the basis of a cloud. It enables organizations to transform their data centers into modern and robust platforms that resemble the behavior of leading public clouds, while empowering them to keep full control over their budget and sovereignty.

What is Sunbeam?

Sunbeam lowers the barrier to entry for OpenStack and simplifies its deployment and operations processes. Backed by cloud-native architecture, Sunbeam uses bottom-up automation and high-level abstraction to make OpenStack accessible to newcomers and help users get to grips with the platform immediately.

What is Canonical OpenStack?

Canonical OpenStack (based on Sunbeam) is an enterprise cloud solution that distills the maturity and comprehensiveness of the upstream OpenStack project into an award-winning product. Canonical OpenStack gives organizations access to a broad range of commercial services: from design and delivery to post-deployment operations and maintenance.
