Frequently Asked Questions

What are cloud platforms and products?

Software and services used to build, run and manage clouds, from private cloud stacks and Kubernetes platforms to hybrid and automation tools.

OpenStack or Kubernetes?

OpenStack provisions virtual infrastructure; Kubernetes orchestrates containers on top of infrastructure. Many private clouds use both.

What replaced the early tools?

Cloud.com became Apache CloudStack, RightScale joined Flexera, and the Xen Cloud Platform evolved into the Xen Project.

What replaced the older entries?

The earlier lists dated from the early 2010s; dead, discontinued or redirected entries were removed or updated and current ones added.

How current is this list?

Links were checked in October 2026. Sites that block automated checks are kept and may need a manual click; renamed or acquired products are labelled.
