Self-hosted cloud computing platforms and orchestration tools provide infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) capabilities within your own data centers. These tools enable organizations to create cloud-like environments with self-service capabilities, resource isolation, and automated management.

- OpenStack - Modular cloud platform with services for compute (Nova), networking (Neutron), storage (Cinder, Swift), and identity (Keystone). Suitable for building private and hybrid clouds with multi-tenant isolation.
- OpenShift - Enterprise Kubernetes platform with integrated CI/CD, developer tools, and security policies. Available as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) and community OKD.
- Tsuru - Developer-focused PaaS that simplifies application deployment on Kubernetes with team isolation and extensible service integration.
- The Foreman - Lifecycle management and provisioning platform for physical and virtual infrastructure with PXE provisioning and configuration integration.
- Mesos - Distributed systems kernel for cluster-wide resource scheduling. Retired to Apache Attic in August 2025 (completed October 2025). Suitable only for legacy environments.
