  • md_server

    Standalone EC2 metadata server to simplify the user of vendor cloud images with standalone kvm/libvirt

  • I was playing around with this a while ago, using cloud-init and virt-install. But I found it to be quite cumbersome if you don't have some kind of metadata service that can provide cloud-init with the user-data, ie. not using the nocloud provider.

    I started looking at this mock EC2 metadata service, but never did anything with it: https://github.com/sjjf/md_server

  • multipass

    Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances

  • Just wanted to chime in and say that, for my purposes, Multipass has been perfect for work and personal use.

    (For others, it's just a simple CLI that provisions Ubuntu instances.)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
