Why Svavyom

Why build your personal cloud with Svavyom?

Explore Svavyom’s design choices, infrastructure ownership and the responsibilities of running your own dedicated server.

Principles

Own the infrastructure. Skip the guesswork.

Three design choices shape everything else.

Choose your infrastructure

Provider neutrality is a design direction: your host choice should not be dictated by a proprietary hosting integration. Actual compatibility still depends on provider policy, hardware and qualification.

Understand the tradeoffs

Owning the infrastructure gives you control, but also leaves you responsible for access, updates, recovery, networking and backups. A management interface cannot remove those responsibilities.

Build on familiar layers

KVM, QEMU and libvirt separate kernel virtualization, the VM process and its management interface. Svavyom builds on these rather than inventing a new hypervisor.

Responsibility

What stays yours, and what Svavyom aims to help with

Svavyom is not yet a substitute for an operational virtualization platform. Evaluate currently available tools against your immediate needs.

Always yours
  • Access, updates and security patching
  • Recovery, rescue consoles and reinstall paths
  • Public addressing, firewalls and routing
  • Off-server backups and tested restores
Where Svavyom aims to help
  • A single web console for machines (Preview)
  • Typed, restricted host operations
  • Familiar, inspectable virtualization layers
  • Plain-language guides, available today
