## Overview

### Key benefits of Spinifex

\* Runs existing AWS workloads without code rewrites by changing only the endpoint URL, preserving compatibility with AWS CLI, SDKs, and Terraform toolchains.
\* Operates fully offline with no dependency on external networks, cloud control planes, or third-party authorities, supporting air-gapped, denied, disconnected, and resource-constrained environments.
\* Keeps data on operator-controlled infrastructure in the jurisdiction of choice, addressing data sovereignty and residency mandates across defence, government, and regulated industries.
\* Delivers predictable costs with no egress fees; Neocloud GPU capacity (H100, H200, B200) is available at lower cost than hyperscaler pricing.
\* AGPL-3.0 open-source core is fully auditable and eliminates vendor lock-out risk; a commercial license is also available.
\* Single platform covers Neocloud, on-premises data centre, and edge deployments with identical APIs, removing the need for separate tooling or workflow changes across environments.
\* Runs on any Linux-capable x86 or ARM hardware with no proprietary hardware requirement, from rack servers to rugged single-node appliances, with pre-integrated support for validated partner hardware.
\* EC2-compatible compute via QEMU/KVM with PCIe passthrough surfaces GPUs, SDRs, and capture cards to guest VMs at near-native performance, supporting AI inference, vision pipelines, signals analysis, and ISR triage workloads.
\* NVIDIA MIG GPU partitioning enables sharing of a single GPU card across multiple concurrent workloads, improving hardware utilisation efficiency.
\* EBS-compatible block storage (Viperblock) provides a write-ahead log, NVMe write-back cache, snapshots, and replication for resilient, high-performance persistent storage.
\* S3-compatible object storage (Predastore) delivers Reed-Solomon erasure coding, multipart uploads, SigV4 authentication, and multi-node clustering for durable, distributed object storage.
\* VPC networking via OVN/OVS and IAM with SigV4 and policy enforcement replicate AWS-native network isolation and access control on operator-controlled infrastructure.
\* Supports EKS Kubernetes, ECR container registry, ECS container scheduling, ALB/NLB load balancers, and RDS databases, providing a broad AWS-compatible service surface for containerised and database workloads.
\* Cloud-init parity allows the same AMIs built for AWS to boot on Spinifex without modification, reducing migration effort for ISVs and enterprise platform teams.
\* Multiple install paths (bootable ISO/USB, one-line curl install, container images) and single-node or multi-node HA cluster support accommodate a wide range of deployment scenarios and operational constraints.

The platform implements 381 AWS API actions spanning EC2, EBS, S3, VPC, IAM, ALB/NLB, EKS, ECR, ECS, and RDS, and runs on operator-controlled bare-metal, virtual machines, multi-node HA clusters, or partner-hosted Neocloud infrastructure. Existing AWS workloads, tooling (AWS CLI, SDKs, Terraform), and AMIs migrate without code changes by updating a single endpoint URL. Deployment options include a bootable ISO/USB, a one-line curl install, and container images. Pre-integrated configurations are available on validated partner hardware including Cisco Unified Edge, ASUS PE3000N and PE4000G, Critical Shift Nexus, Supermicro, and OnLogic HX401. Licensed under AGPL-3.0 with a commercial license option.\n\nSpinifex targets defence and military operators running mission software at the tactical edge in air-gapped, denied, disconnected, and resource-constrained environments, as well as regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, energy, and government programs with data residency or sovereignty mandates. The platform runs on any Linux-capable x86 or ARM hardware with no proprietary hardware dependency, from rack servers to rugged single-node appliances. Core storage is provided by Viperblock (EBS-compatible block storage with write-ahead log, NVMe write-back cache, snapshots, and replication) and Predastore (S3-compatible object storage with Reed-Solomon erasure coding, multipart uploads, SigV4 auth, and multi-node clustering). Networking is delivered via OVN/OVS-based VPC. GPU workloads are supported through PCIe passthrough for near-native performance, NVIDIA MIG partitioning, and BlueField DPU support as add-ons, with H100, H200, and B200 GPU capacity available on the hosted Neocloud. AWS Bedrock API support for foundation models is on the roadmap for Q4 2026.","image":"https://images.g2crowd.com/display-layer-screenshots/2148334/90d66fd64ba083791f2ab436a7b12b23f6d1a8c12f8331109b13060e76dabae7.webp","url":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2379089/spinifex","@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2379089/spinifex#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/#organization"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Windows on premise, Linux on premise"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2379089/spinifex#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Virtual Machine Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1489/virtual-machine/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Spinifex","position":3,"item":"/software/2379089/spinifex","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
