Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is an open-source cloud infrastructure platform founded in 2008 at UC Santa Barbara by Dimitri Glazounov and colleagues. The software provides AWS-compatible private cloud infrastructure, allowing organizations to deploy cloud environments that mirror Amazon Web Services APIs and tooling. This compatibility became a key differentiator in the enterprise cloud market, reducing lock-in and retraining costs for AWS-familiar teams. Eucalyptus was acquired by Hewlett Packard in 2014 and integrated into HP Enterprise's cloud portfolio. The platform targets organizations seeking on-premise or hybrid cloud deployments with minimal vendor lock-in, positioning itself as a bridge between public cloud standards and private infrastructure requirements.

Culture

Eucalyptus originated as an academic open-source project with strong roots in collaborative development and community contribution. The company maintained an engineering-first culture emphasizing compatibility and standards adherence over proprietary differentiation. Integration into HPE shifted the focus toward enterprise software practices while preserving the open-source ethos that defined the early product.
