v0.18.18 release notes
Bring the cloud to your data center.
metal-stack is a set of microservices implementing Metal as a Service (MaaS), turning a bunch of hardware into elastic cloud infrastructure. It is built to manage the lifecycles for hundreds and thousands of servers inside your on-premise data center.

Distinguishing features
Before starting development on metal-stack, we set out to create guiding principles to check our work against. These principles are the foundation of our work, reflect our motivation and present main considerations in the design of metal-stack.
