Solving the European cloud gap.

We treat IaaS as the technical foundation it is. We offer:

• The gp1 instance series with published hourly rates
• Durable block volumes on general-purpose SSD, with point-in-time snapshots
• Granular IAM and stable resource identifiers (URNs) on every object
• Platform metrics for every instance, volume and network interface

You get the primitives and the identifiers. What you compose from them is yours.

We don’t believe in hiding information:

• Import a disk image, such as a qcow2, from an HTTP(S) URL as a volume
• Create your own images and launch instances from them
• The guest environment is documented, down to what cloud-init sets at first boot

The defaults are sensible. When they don’t fit, the internals are documented.

Origin Cloud fits into your existing workflows with:

• A CLI and a GraphQL API, both covering every resource type
• JSON output and error codes with a correlation ID, for scripts and CI
• Service accounts for automation instead of personal logins

This is infrastructure that works with your ecosystem, not against it.
