At the forefront of cloud computing stands the Apache CloudStack project, a robust open-source platform that enables organisations to build and manage scalable cloud environments with flexibility and efficiency.

As open-source projects are not vendor-driven, they rely entirely on contributions from their respective community. This community-driven approach helps distribute the workload, accelerate innovation, and ensure that the software evolves to meet the needs of the global user base.

For those passionate about shaping the future of cloud computing, contributing to the CloudStack project provides a valuable opportunity to make a significant impact.

We are excited to announce the agenda for the upcoming CloudStack European User Group, taking place in Frankfurt on September 19th, 2024. Hosted by proIO, a leading German Private Cloud and Managed Hosting Provider, this event promises to be a day filled with insightful presentations, networking opportunities, and the latest updates from the CloudStack community.

The Apache CloudStack project is pleased to announce the release of CloudStack Kubernetes Provider v1.1.0 that facilitates Kubernetes deployments on Cloudstack.

It allows Kubernetes to dynamically allocate IP addresses and the respective networking rules on CloudStack to ensure seamless TCP, UDP and TCP-Proxy LoadBalancer deployments on Kubernetes. This was historically part of the Kubernetes codebase which was later removed and donated to the project to allow for further maintenance of the provider plugin.

Interview: Daniel Salvador - VP of Apache CloudStack​

The Apache CloudStack community is announcing that Daniel Augusto Veronezi has taken on the role of Vice President (VP) of Apache CloudStack recently, a position that bridges the gap between the vibrant community of developers and users and the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) board. In this new role, Daniel is entrusted with ensuring the health and growth of both the project and its community, guiding its further development while fostering a collaborative environment.

On 3-5th June, the Apache Software Foundation will be holding the annual Community Over Code EU conference. This year, attendees can anticipate engaging sessions led by Apache CloudStack community members at the event. It serves as a prime platform to stay aware of the newest developments within Apache Software Foundation (ASF) projects and their associated communities. Taking place in the charming city of Bratislava, Slovakia, this event fosters an environment conducive to collaborative, vendor-neutral discussions. Open-source communities from across the globe will converge to freely exchange ideas and strategize on various projects.

We are pleased to announce the release of Apache CloudStack Terraform provider v0.5.0. Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool that provides a consistent CLI workflow to manage resources in many public/private clouds.
