Electros
Electros is a Metacloud control plane for governing public, private, and sovereign clouds and hypervisors from one interface without replacing existing infrastructure. Teams state infrastructure requirements as cloud intents, and Electros composes governed infrastructure to meet them. It provides a GUI, CLI, and API, alongside cross-provider orchestration, centralized observability, and cost visibility. Atomosphere maps AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more than 10 other cloud providers across more than 235 data centers, with real-time cloud cost comparison. Atomosquare connects VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V, and private clouds. Electros communicates with infrastructure through Elemento’s C4 interoperability protocol and underlying fabrics. The product describes AtomOS as a free, RHEL-compatible KVM hypervisor with GPU passthrough, autonomous clustering, and unlimited VMs. Desktop installers are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows 10/11. Start costs €199 a month, billed annually, for up to 7 active connections; Grow costs €399 a month, billed annually, for up to 15. A 7-day trial is listed.
