Sovereign cloud,
on infrastructure you can own.
Triton Cloud is cloud infrastructure with a predictable bill: Instances with their own kernel on NVMe, real VPCs, S3-compatible object storage, and the same open-source platform you can run on your own hardware.
Illustration: workloads running in isolated Zones on Open Compute hardware.
Cloud that behaves
the way you expect.
Real VMs, real networks, and one invoice where everything on it is something you chose.
Their own kernel
Every Instance is a hardware-virtualized virtual machine with its own kernel, memory, and disk. It is not a container sharing a host you can't see.
Private by default
Instances are private until you say otherwise. A subnet with no internet route can't be reached from outside the VPC, and can't reach out.
A bill you can predict
One package shape in six sizes, with NVMe disk, pooled transfer, and hourly billing capped at the monthly price.
What is SmartOS?
The open-source operating system underneath every Triton deployment.
What it is
An open-source, illumos-based operating system built for running clouds. It runs Zones and virtual machines side by side, with ZFS and DTrace in the base system. Joyent built it to run its public cloud, and Samsung acquired Joyent in 2016. Sovren now stewards the open-source development.
Compared to what you know
Why we use it
- Fair share, enforcedCPU, memory, disk I/O, and network limits are enforced by the kernel per zone, so one noisy tenant can't starve the rest.
- A real IP per zoneEvery zone gets its own network stack and addresses. No port mapping.
- Less overheadZones have no guest OS to boot or patch, and ZFS clones provision images in seconds.
Packages and pricing.
Triton Cloud packages are sized by memory and billed hourly. See current packages and pricing on tritoncloud.io.
Crypto Node Hosting
Validators, RPC nodes, and Lightning operators.
- Hardware spec, TBD
- Planned for validator, RPC, and Lightning node operators
- Spec and pricing not final
- Join the waitlist for updates
Workloads that fit straight in.
Standard Linux and FreeBSD images. Bring your stack, Triton doesn't care what language you write in.
Web Apps
Next.js, Rails, Laravel. Boot a standard Linux image, keep the database on a private subnet, and resize the package when you need more.
APIs & Microservices
REST, GraphQL, gRPC. Private VPC networking for service-to-service traffic, with firewall rules in one priority-ordered list.
Linux and FreeBSD
Boot Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine, Fedora, Rocky, AlmaLinux, Arch, or FreeBSD. Each Instance has its own kernel.
Object Storage
S3-compatible Buckets that your Instances reach privately. Backups, assets, datasets, and build artifacts live next to your compute.
Databases
Postgres, Redis, MySQL. Run them yourself on an Instance, on a private subnet with no internet route.
Internal Tools
Dashboards, CI runners, cron jobs, staging envs. The unglamorous stuff that has to just work.
Cloud was supposed to make this simpler.
Instead, you got a pile of vendors and a surprise bill.
We put it back on one invoice, on a platform you can also run yourself.
Your terminal, your IaC,
and your agent.
One platform, three ways in: the CLI, the API, and the Terraform provider drive the same control plane.
CLI, API, Terraform
Three surfaces over one control plane. Anything the console does, they do.
Triton MCP
Let an agent read and manage Instances, Buckets, and networks. MCP uses ordinary API tokens.
Managed Kubernetes
Next on the roadmap. Not available today.
Agent-native deployments
In design. Preview URLs and instant rollback, operated through MCP.
