Some of you saw the original Hypervisor V2 thread when we launched it as a lightweight KVM control panel. Big update: it grew up. Hypervisor.io is now a full self-hosted KVM cloud, the kind of stack you would reach for OpenStack or CloudStack to build, minus the multi-server control plane and the ops headache. One master, as many slave nodes as you like. Provisioning, the cloud-services layer, and billing all in the same box.

The bit we are most proud of: The AI assistant. Not a docs chatbot, it actually provisions. You type "spin up 3 VMs behind a load balancer with SSL" or "resize my Postgres and add a replica" and it reads your real infra and executes through the same API the UI uses. No one else in this category ships that.

Stuff competitors just do not ship (full sheet: https://hypervisor.io/compare/):

Capability Us Others
AI provisioning assistant Yes No
Native billing (meter to invoice to payment to tax) Yes No
Built-in payment gateways Yes No
Self-service customer storefront Yes No
Real-time WebSocket UI Yes No
Managed K8s + autoscaler / S3 / DBaaS Yes Partial or none
Single-node capable Yes No

The rest of the kit:

  • Compute: full KVM lifecycle, live migration, HA monitoring, VNC + browser SSH, GPU passthrough, cloud-init, IPv4 + IPv6
  • Networking: VPC (VXLAN overlay), NAT gateways, VPN gateways, security groups, IP sets, HAProxy load balancers with SSL
  • Data services: managed databases (MySQL / MariaDB / Postgres + replicas + PITR), tenant S3 object storage, managed Kubernetes + autoscaler
  • Backups: streaming backups (S3 / SFTP / FTP / rclone) + volume snapshots with point-in-time rollback
  • Billing: built in (Stripe / PayPal / Razorpay) with metering, multi-currency + tax invoicing, or run WHMCS / Blesta / HostBill / Paymenter
  • Automation: full REST API (OpenAPI docs) plus the AI assistant, so anything the UI does, you script or just ask for

30-day free trial, full platform, no card.

Not here to bash anyone, Virtualizor and Solus are solid and OpenStack/CloudStack scale huge. The difference is we ship the cloud-services layer plus billing plus an AI that runs it as one product. If you just need VM provisioning, the classics do fine. If you want the AWS-style stack on your own metal with invoicing and an AI assistant already wired, that is us, running the same day.
