Spinifex Reimplements EC2, S3, EBS, VPC, IAM, RDS and EKS on Your Own Hardware Under AGPL
Spinifex hit Show HN on August 26, 2026 with an AGPL-3.0 (commercial license available) reimplementation of the AWS control plane on self-owned infrastructure, keeping the AWS CLI unchanged: EC2, EKS, ECS, ECR, EBS via Viperblock, S3 via Predastore, VPC, ALB, NLB, RDS and IAM, with Bedrock slated for Q3 2026. The stated target is teams needing a cloud that keeps running offline with no external control plane, aimed at edge and on-premise. It is early at 89 stars, and the repo makes no specific cost comparison against AWS beyond a claim of cheaper GPU capacity via Neocloud partners, so treat the economics as unproven.
