Private Preview

Be first to forge with CloudSmith.

CloudSmith is in private preview. A small group of real operators are testing and shaping the platform — on-premises and Azure PaaS — before the public release.

Preview is now open. Deployments and early access are managed via cloudsmith.app. Join there to get early access to the platform — feedback from preview participants drives what ships next.

Preview benefits

What preview participants get

Early Access

MVP access before public launch, plus each module as it ships — Phase V, VI, and beyond. You're in from the first release, not after the crowd.

Direct Line to the Team

Bug reports and feedback go straight to the engineers building it. No support ticket queue. No triage delay. We want to hear what's broken.

Roadmap Influence

Your feedback shapes what gets built next. Preview participants' environments drive module priority — if something is missing in your stack, say so.

Recognition

Named in release notes and contributor docs when the project goes public. Your environment helped build this — that's worth acknowledging.

Target participants

We want real operators — not just enthusiasts.

The preview is deliberately diverse to surface real-world edge cases across environments.

Hyper-V shop operator (Windows Server Failover Clustering, 1–20 nodes)
Hyper-V shop operator (mid-scale, 20–200 nodes)
Azure Local operator (small shop, 1–20 nodes)
Azure Local operator (mid-scale, 20–200 nodes)
MSP managing multiple Hyper-V and/or Azure Local customer environments
Solutions architect who designs Hyper-V and Azure Local infrastructure
Dell iDRAC environment (primary hardware target)
Lenovo, HPE, or mixed-vendor environments
Air-gapped or disconnected deployments

We're aiming for 10–25 participants in the first cohort. More will be added as modules ship in Phase V and VI.

Your commitment

What we ask of you

Actually use it — in a lab or non-production environment at first. We're not looking for paper evaluations.
Report bugs and friction points via GitHub Issues. If something doesn't work or is confusing, file an issue — that's exactly what we need.
Give design feedback — if a workflow feels wrong, say so. The goal is a platform that real operators actually want to use.
