Meneja Control Plane

Unified control plane & automation

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.

Meneja serves the VCO portals and manages every cloud locationMeneja serves the white-label portals of the Virtual Cloud Operators, each with its own brand. As one management interface with role-based access over all cloud locations, it covers monitoring of capacity and performance, configuration and policies that are the same on every location, VM and CD-ROM image distribution, and reseller management and billing. External networks and GPUs and vGPUs belong to each individual cloud location; Meneja is where they are configured.White-labelVCO portals,served by MenejaVCO portalown brandVCO portalown brandVCO portalown brandMenejaone interface for every cloud location, role-based accessMonitoringcapacity andperformanceConfigurationpolicies, same onevery locationImagesVM and CD-ROMimages, syncedBillingresellers andinvoicingmanagesCloudlocation Aexternal networksGPUs and vGPUsCloudlocation Bexternal networksGPUs and vGPUsCloudlocation Cexternal networksGPUs and vGPUsCloudlocation Dexternal networksGPUs and vGPUsExternal networks and GPUs belong to each cloud location; Meneja configures them

Central Management

Unified Control Interface

  • Central management UI for managing multiple cloud locations
  • Single pane of glass for all infrastructure operations
  • Consistent management across geographically distributed sites
  • Role-based access for different administrative functions

Monitoring and Analytics

  • Comprehensive monitoring of all system components:
    • Capacity planning and utilization tracking
    • Performance indicators and trend analysis
    • Resource consumption and optimization recommendations
    • Predictive analytics for proactive management

Configuration Management

Standardized Operations

  • Configuration management across all locations
  • Policy enforcement for security and compliance
  • Automated deployment of updates and patches
  • Consistency validation across the entire fleet

Resource Distribution

  • Virtual machine image management with validation and distribution
  • CD-ROM image distribution for installation and maintenance
  • Automated synchronization across all locations
  • Version control and rollback capabilities
Image distribution through MenejaVM templates, operating system images and CD-ROM images go through Meneja, which validates and security-scans them and keeps versions with rollback. Meneja then distributes them automatically, so every cloud location runs the same validated image version.ImagesVM templatesOS imagesCD-ROM imagesMeneja✓validation✓security scanning✓version control↻rollbackCloud location A✓same image versionCloud location B✓same image versionCloud location C✓same image versionAutomated synchronization: every location runs the same validated images
