Quake AI documentation
Quake AI documentation
Quake AI is an independent, US-based public cloud built on OpenStack: compute, networking, storage, Kubernetes, and orchestration through standard OpenStack APIs. These docs cover the services, with how-to guides, reference, and tutorials for developers, operators, and architects.
If you are new, head to the Quickstart. If you are evaluating Quake AI, start with Platform. Otherwise, jump to the section you need.
Quickstart
Sign up, add an SSH key, launch a public Ubuntu VM, install nginx, and tear it down. Six steps, about 30 minutes, with the Console as the default and CLI and OpenTofu as method tabs.
Platform
What Quake AI is: the services, the OpenStack projects underneath, the pricing shape, SLA scope, and how to evaluate or migrate from another provider.
Compute
Virtual machines, OS images, flavors, key pairs, snapshots, and server groups for your application workloads.
Network
Private networks, subnets, routers, floating IPs, and security groups that connect your instances.
Block Storage
Persistent volumes you attach to instances, plus snapshots and volume clones.
Object Storage
S3-compatible storage for files, static assets, and backups, with the standard S3 tools and SDKs.
Kubernetes
Run managed clusters from reusable templates, with master and worker lifecycle, node groups, and integrated networking.
Automation
Define your Quake AI infrastructure in OpenTofu or Heat templates, version it in git, and deploy it repeatably.
Access & Credentials
Install the OpenStack CLI, generate application credentials and API tokens, find service endpoints, and configure your local environment.
Operate
Monitoring, troubleshooting, maintenance, and runbooks for keeping production workloads healthy on Quake AI.
Security
The shared responsibility model, identity and access, network controls, data protection, and the platform's compliance posture.
Account & Billing
Manage your Quake AI account, organizations, projects, subscriptions, payment methods, and invoices through the portal and Console.
