CloudNexus Platform

Platform Overview

CloudNexus Platform is a unified cloud infrastructure management system designed for developers and engineering teams. It provides a consistent API surface across all services — compute, storage, networking, databases, and security — enabling you to build, deploy, and scale applications without vendor lock-in.

Everything is API-first. Every resource can be provisioned via REST API, CLI, Terraform, or Infrastructure-as-Code pipelines. The platform integrates with your existing CI/CD toolchain and supports GitOps workflows out of the box.

💡 Quick Start: Install the cx CLI and run cx init to scaffold a project in under 30 seconds. Your first instance deploys in under 12 seconds.

bash

# Install the CloudNexus CLI
curl -fsSL https://install.cloudnexus.io/cx | bash

# Log in with your API key
cx auth login --token $CX_API_KEY

# Deploy your first instance in US-East
cx instance create \
  --name "web-prod-01" \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --plan professional \
  --image ubuntu-22.04

# ✅ Instance ready in 11.2s
# Public IP: 198.51.100.42
# SSH:      cx ssh web-prod-01

Platform Architecture

CloudNexus is built on a multi-tenant architecture with isolation at every layer. Each customer operates in a dedicated control plane namespace while sharing a highly available infrastructure plane.

Core Platform Features

Every feature is designed with developer experience as the primary concern. APIs are consistent, predictable, and documented with interactive examples.

🔑

API-First Everything

Every platform action is available via REST API with OpenAPI 3.0 specs. GraphQL support for complex queries.

🏗️

Infrastructure as Code

Native Terraform provider, Pulumi support, and CloudFormation-compatible templates for declarative management.

🔄

GitOps Workflows

Push config to Git, get infrastructure. Webhooks, ArgoCD integration, and automatic drift detection built in.

📊

Real-Time Observability

Integrated metrics, logs, and traces. Prometheus-compatible endpoint. Custom dashboards and alerting rules.

🛡️

Zero-Trust Security

Per-request authentication, RBAC, network policies, encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3).

🌍

Multi-Region Deploy

Deploy to 50+ regions with active-active replication. Automatic failover and geo-routing with anycast DNS.

⚠️ Rate Limits: The API enforces per-key rate limits. Standard plans receive 1,000 requests/minute. Enterprise plans get unlimited with priority queuing.

SDKs & CLI Tools

Build on CloudNexus in your language of choice. All SDKs share the same idiomatic patterns and are open source under the MIT license.
