Hello World — OpenSDDCWays to contribute →All posts →Platform lock-in
Your app may be open source; if the platform it runs on is not portable, operational dependency remains.
Five projects, one open stack

OpenSDDC (Open Software Defined Data Center) is an open-source datacenter ecosystem focused on infrastructure freedom.
Using a vendor is not the problem. Being unable to change vendors is. OpenSDDC makes your infrastructure portable, auditable and replaceable again.
What is OpenSDDC? →With our free and open-source platform, escape vendor dependency cycles—your infrastructure should belong to you. Vendor lock-in creates serious risks for modern infrastructure.
Your app may be open source; if the platform it runs on is not portable, operational dependency remains.
Vendor-specific storage APIs and data formats compound the cost of moving to another platform over time.
When day-to-day operations are shaped around one platform, migration becomes a cultural problem—not only a technical one.
When license, support, update, and access policies change, the future of your infrastructure can slip out of your control.
Five integrated projects across virtualization, storage, observability, and automation.
Shared logical thin volume model with a QEMU-aware LVM approach.
Without throwing away existing investments—we lower the cost of changing platforms through portable storage models, open observability, and automation practices.
As the roadmap progresses, OpenSDDC stays aligned with design principles: open interfaces, portability, and operational simplicity.
Community feedback, lab experience, and real-world scenarios update the roadmap.
Our stack is not tied to a single hardware vendor or closed management plane.
OpenSDDC is an open ecosystem spanning every critical layer of datacenter infrastructure, shaped by real-world experience. You can take part by providing lab environments, writing docs, sharing migration stories, or joining discussions.
