|
**Open** + **Simple** + **Easy to hack** + **IPv6 First**
|
|
|
|
ucloud is an easy to use cloud management system.

|
It is an alternative to OpenStack, OpenNebula or Cloudstack.
|
|
|
|
ucloud is the first cloud management system that puts IPv6 first. ucloud also has an integral ordering process that we missed in existing solutions.
