Control Plane vs Qstack

Control Plane virtualizes cloud infrastructure into an AI-native cloud for deploying workloads across infrastructure selected by the customer. It combines bare metal, Kubernetes, and regions from AWS, GCP, Azure, and OCI. Supported workloads include containers, virtual machines, and ephemeral isolated sandboxes. Universal Cloud Identity provides credential-free service access across clouds without embedding credentials in workloads. Networking includes a service mesh, per-workload firewalls, and outbound-only Cloud Wormhole tunnels to private networks. The platform lists infrastructure provisioning, governance policies, infrastructure as code, role-based access control, audit logs, and Kubernetes management. Integrations include Terraform, Pulumi, Datadog, Logz.io, and Coralogix. Capacity AI is described as right-sizing resources; the company says most customers cut cloud bills by 30–50%. Usage pricing is billed monthly without contracts, minimums, or lock-ins. CPU is $0.06205654 per millicore-month, memory $0.00706330 per megabyte-month, and SSD $0.21224989 per GB-month.

Qstack is a multi-cloud management system for managing servers, cloud hosts, proxy IP products, operations, and secure storage. It is aimed at IDC service providers, teams, and businesses that manage product processes.

Product management listings also name QStack, 星外, Proxmox, 小鸟云, and 景安云. Team functions include member management, ticketing, workflow approvals, and revenue sharing. Qstack supports private deployment; the maker says the system program is provided free for that use, with non-core code open source and support for secondary development. An open API and plugin and template mechanism are available for connections and customization. API requests can use HTTP or HTTPS, with HTTPS recommended. Deployment guidance describes Linux with an LNMP setup of Nginx, MySQL, and PHP 7.3. The basic edition is free for small IDC teams; the professional edition costs 9,999 CNY a year. The operations edition has no listed price.
