Open Source Infrastructure

Practical material from real deployments — no vendor preference, no paid recommendations.

The options for building private cloud infrastructure are real and mature: OpenStack, Ceph, Proxmox, Incus and others. Choosing between them, and actually running them in production, is where it gets hard. Nobody has time to try them all, so people pick what they know — even when something else would fit better.

infraguide.org collects workshop slides, deployment guides, and decision tools, starting at the entry point so you get to a running installation quickly and can play with it before you decide. Everything here is tested in practice, written by practitioners, for practitioners.
