Companies that run large on-prem workloads and want to have similar hardware/software to what the likes of Google, FB etc. have in their data centers


Does that mean that Oxide sells computers that are optimized for on-premise cloud deployments?


I think they sell something like mini and on prem gcp / aws. You just connect the thing to power and ethernet and now you got your own locally running Webinterface / API which can start VMs, networks etc


Oh neat, I can have my own DigitalOcean with one of these?!


Not quite. They don't offer out of the box managed services like DigitalOcean. No one-click MongoDB or stuff like that. No out of the box Kubernetes.

You basically get Networking, Compute and Storage. Everything else you have to build on top.

You will also get stuff like Terraform provider, SDKs and so on.

> I can

I guess if you are millionaire you could.


Ah okay, so you get the foundation. Still, pretty cool.


This is correct, yes.


That’s exactly what this is advertising, yes.


Thanks. But as someone who isn't familiar with Oxide, this was not clear to me at all. The "Just Cloud" threw me off and I was reminded of shuttle.rs which also advertises easy deployment of (Rust) services. I could not see that this was supposed to be about on-premise hardware.
