SaaS (Software as a Service)
Superphenix aims to host managed applications (databases, registries, Git, file sync, and similar services) so operators can offer turnkey software to their customers on the same platform as IaaS.
Current status
In the SPX console, the SaaS dimension is still a placeholder in some releases: the full application catalog may not be exposed yet. When your deployment enables it, services will appear alongside Compute, Storage, and Network in the product sidebar.
Until then, use Virtualization and PaaS (when available) to run the workloads you need, and manage applications with your own GitOps pipelines.
Target direction
When the catalog is available, typical examples include:
- Databases — Managed relational or NoSQL engines with backups and replication.
- Container registry — Harbor or equivalent for images and policies.
- Git hosting — GitLab or similar for source control and CI/CD.
- File sync — Nextcloud or similar for files and collaboration.
Those services will consume the same storage, network, and tooling primitives as the rest of the platform, with multi-tenancy enforced via organizations, projects, and quotas.
