The Open Cloud That Keeps Receipts
LayerRail is an open, portable cloud. Launch VMs, networks, and managed services from one project-centered console — with budgets on rails and a control plane you can self-host.
Run compute, networking, and managed services from a single control plane for resources and cost.
Cloud sprawl scatters the story of your infrastructure. Who created a resource, where it runs, what it costs, which project owns it — LayerRail keeps the answers next to the resources themselves.
Launch in minutes. Resize in seconds. Operate with confidence at any scale.
Infrastructure that keeps its receipts. Provision from the console, CLI, or API — every resource carries its owner, region, and cost context.
Pick a region and boot image
Five regions, standard images
Choose East US, Central US, UK South, or South Africa North, pick Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, or Rocky, and LayerRail provisions the rest.
Launch VMs and GPU instances
Any language, any framework
Run full virtual machines you control — shared or dedicated plans, GPU options, root access, and public IPv4 included.
Private networking built in
Subnets, firewalls, load balancers
Wire services together on private subnets, gate them with default-deny firewalls, and expose only what should be public.
Managed Postgres and Kubernetes
Databases and clusters on demand
Hand the undifferentiated ops to the platform. LayerRail provisions, monitors, and recovers the VM-backed services underneath.
Budgets and deployment evidence
Budget rails & resource records
Set workspace budget controls and export deployment records that finance, compliance, and grant reviews will actually accept.
Protect and connect services at the network layer. Private subnets, firewalls, and load balancers included.
IAM + tokens. Control who can touch what with project-scoped access and revocable tokens.
Global regions. Place workloads in the US, UK, or South Africa and keep traffic close to users.
Firewalls. Default-deny rules per network, managed from the console, CLI, or API.
Load balancers. Spread traffic across instances and keep services up through node failures.
Monitoring. Metrics and health signals for every resource without wiring up your own stack.
Built for production
High availability
Managed services run on monitored, VM-backed infrastructure with automatic recovery workflows when something fails.
Proactive protection
Revoke access instantly, rotate tokens, and lock down networks the moment something looks wrong — from one console.
Start small, grow to multi-region, and keep budgets on rails without babysitting infrastructure.
A platform that scales with you. Projects, networking, and billing context are designed to stay explainable as your footprint grows.
Read the docsMulti-region footprint
Run workloads in five regions today, with the same console and records everywhere.
Elastic capacity
Add and resize instances as demand grows — no ticket queues, no manual ops.
Predictable pricing
Transparent hourly rates, with root storage and public IPv4 included on VMs.
Built-in protection
IAM, firewalls, and instant revocation ship with every project by default.
Stay in sync with your infrastructure in real time.Every resource is tracked. Every cost is visible.
Automatic metrics and health collection. CPU, memory, disk, and service health are captured for VMs and managed services without extra wiring.
Spot spikes and unusual spend. Usage records sit next to resources, so anomalies in load or cost surface long before the invoice does.
Debug and explore in the console. Filter by project, region, owner, and state to quickly understand what is running and why.
Query via API and CLI. Everything in the console is scriptable — pull resource and usage records into your own reporting.
Infrastructure that stays explainable after deploy. Owners, budgets, and records — carried with every resource.
Coming soon
Deployment passports. Runtime, region, owner, and provider captured as a reviewable record.
Reporting-ready exports. Evidence that drops straight into finance, compliance, and grant workflows.
Budget rails, self-serve. Teams see spend against budget without filing a support ticket.
