A provider-blind cloud
You order a machine class and a region in the platform’s own vocabulary. Which capacity serves it is decided at provision time, so nothing you write names a provider.
One catalog, in one vocabulary
Every product is a SKU with its own display name, size and price. The customer view carries what you are buying and what it costs, never the wholesale cost behind it.
Placement happens when you provision
A placement resolver chooses an offering for the class and region at the moment of provisioning, from the substrates you are allowed to use.
What you ordered stays separate from what runs
The desired state is recorded on every resource and reconciled continuously against what is observed, so a difference shows rather than staying hidden.
