Atlas Cloud docs

Atlas Cloud is an Icelandic cloud platform — KVM virtual machines, software-defined networking, and S3-compatible object storage, hosted in Iceland at Borealis Tier 3. Built on Apache CloudStack.

Atlas accounts currently require an Icelandic Kennitala for billing. International customers: contact sales@runatlas.is.

Five minutes to a VM

The canonical entry point is the Quickstart. It shows the same five steps in four interfaces — Console, CLI (cmk), Terraform, and curl — ending with curl http://<your-vm-ip> returning hello-world. Pick the tab that matches how you work.

# A taste, from the CLI tab:
cmk deploy virtualmachine \
  serviceofferingid=$(cmk list serviceofferings name=Small filter=id | tail -1) \
  templateid=$(cmk list templates templatefilter=featured name="Ubuntu 24.04" filter=id | tail -1) \
  networkids=$(cmk list networks name=default filter=id | tail -1) \
  zoneid=$(cmk list zones name=is1 filter=id | tail -1) \
  keypair=mykey \
  name=hello-atlas

What Atlas Cloud is

Atlas Cloud is Apache CloudStack + an S3-compatible object store, hosted in zone is1 (Iceland). The CloudStack API is at https://sky.runatlas.is/client/api; S3 is at https://s3.runatlas.is. Official tools are the upstream cloudstack/cloudstack Terraform provider, cmk (CloudMonkey) CLI, and AWS CLI for S3. There is no Atlas-branded SDK today.
