The cloud should be truly open, verifiable, and resilient. We believe that organizations deserve freedom from disguised vendor lock-in, marketing buzzwords, and lowest-common-denominator abstractions. Our mission is to build an ecosystem where cloud systems can be verified, tested, and trusted across providers.
- Contracts Over Abstractions: Verifiable Contracts and Testability define the standard, not lowest-common-denominator abstractions.
- Composition by Design: Standards must be extensible, favoring architectural composition (like Policy Mixins) and adhering strictly to the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP).
- Provider Neutrality: Every provider can join, no exclusivity, no lock-in.
- Transparency: Open governance, open source, open discussions.
- Resilience & Portability: Systems must run reliably across clouds without rewrites.
- The TCK (Technology Compatibility Kit) will always remain open and free.
- The Certification Contract (test definitions) will be published, versioned, and governed publicly.
- We will provide reference implementations to guide providers and users.
- Community contributions and provider certifications will be recognized and celebrated.
- Commercial extensions will never compromise the openness of the core.
We invite engineers, providers, and organizations to join us in shaping a truly Omni-Cloud future. Contribute code, ideas, and feedback. Help us build a stronger, open community where the cloud is no longer just a marketing term — but a verifiable, testable reality.
Open Omni Cloud is more than a project: it’s a movement towards freedom, trust, and collaboration in the cloud.
