SlapOS (Simple Language for Accounting and Provisioning operating system) is a distributed, open
source software platform for automating the deployment, accounting and billing of cloud computing
services.
With SlapOS, anyone can become a cloud provider and sell Software as a Service (SaaS),
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
The provider can use their own hardware infrastructure and/or public, shared
infrastructure.
A SlapOS cloud is composed of two components -- a SlapOS master and multiple SlapOS nodes. The SlapOS master is a
representational state transfer (REST) web service that stores node
configurations and assigns tasks to execute. The SlapOS nodes provide the actual computing
resources required for the service.
