Spinifex

Spinifex rebuilds the AWS services your applications already call (EC2, EBS, S3, VPC, and IAM) on hardware you control, so workloads can leave the hyperscalers without a rewrite. An EC2 call boots a real KVM guest with spot instance and GPU passthrough options, attaches replicated block volumes, and places the machine inside an OVN virtual network guarded by security groups. S3 buckets land in erasure-coded object storage, container images live in a deduplicated registry, and managed Kubernetes clusters arrive with highly available control planes and node groups. Relational databases run as managed PostgreSQL or MariaDB with automated backups, load balancers terminate traffic at layer 4 or layer 7 with ACM certificates, and an authoritative DNS service manages hosted zones. Every request is authenticated with SigV4 at the gateway and routed to stateless service daemons, so capacity grows by starting more daemons on more nodes. Your existing AWS CLI profiles, SDK code, and Terraform plans point at the new endpoint and keep working, because 405 AWS API operations answer with the shapes your tooling expects. A built-in web console covers instances, volumes, buckets, networks, and IAM for operators who prefer clicks to commands. Clusters run on-premise, at air-gapped edge sites, or on GPU cloud capacity, and keep serving through disconnection because no external control plane exists. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Benefits

  • Keep Your AWS Tooling
  • Point the AWS CLI, SDKs, and Terraform at a new endpoint and keep shipping: 405 AWS API operations answer in the formats your existing automation already expects.
  • Real Machines, Not Emulation
  • An EC2 call boots an actual KVM guest, attaches a replicated volume, and writes erasure-coded objects, so production workloads run on Spinifex rather than rehearsing against plausible responses.
  • No External Control Plane
  • Your hardware, data, and keys stay under your administration, and the cluster keeps operating through internet disconnection, which suits regulated sites and air-gapped edge deployments.
  • Scale By Adding Daemons
  • Gateway requests route across stateless service daemons on a message bus, so growing from one node to a multi-node cluster means starting more daemons, not rearchitecting.

Features

  • KVM-Based Compute
  • EC2-compatible instances run as QEMU/KVM guests with spot capacity and GPU passthrough, launched through the standard RunInstances API.
  • Replicated Block Storage
  • EBS volumes come from Viperblock, replicated across nodes with a write-ahead log on local NVMe for fast, durable instance disks.
  • Erasure-Coded Objects
  • S3 storage runs on Predastore with Reed-Solomon erasure coding, and the same store backs a per-account deduplicated container registry.
  • Managed Kubernetes And Databases
  • EKS clusters use k3s with HA control planes and managed node groups; RDS offers PostgreSQL and MariaDB with automated backups.
  • Built-In Web Console
  • Operate instances, volumes, buckets, networks, and IAM from the bundled console; SigV4 authentication guards every API call at the gateway.
