Apache CloudStack is a scalable, open-source cloud orchestration platform designed for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) that has been in widespread production use since its initial release in 2012. Despite its proven capabilities and strong community involvement, it remains relatively unknown compared to other cloud solutions. The platform boasts broad hypervisor support and an easy integration model, positioning it as a mature choice for both public and private cloud implementations.
