Meneja Control Plane
whitesky cloud location manager (Meneja)
In short: Meneja is whitesky’s centralized control plane for managing multiple cloud locations, tenants, policies, and billing from a single interface. It provides unified control, monitoring, and automation for MSP-scale operations.
The Meneja system provides centralized management and orchestration across all whitesky cloud locations. It also serves the white-label portals of the Virtual Cloud Operators.
whitesky.cloud operates Meneja as part of the managed service. Self-hosted Meneja installations are possible, for example for air-gapped deployments, but they are not a packaged product available for download. Linked Meneja instances and a Meneja directory service are on the roadmap.
