Show HN: O3k – a lightweight OpenStack-compatible API for labs and tests

https://o3k.io

What it is: A lightweight OpenStack-compatible environment for testing, learning, CI/CD, and edge labs.What it is not: Not a production OpenStack replacement today. Not a full existing-cluster migration or upgrade tool.Why we built it: OpenStack is powerful, but too heavy to quickly start, test, learn, or use in small automation scenarios.

Lately, everyone has been sharing SKILL.md and AGENT.md files.

I think the more important layer is actually SPEC and MEMORY.

That is the idea behind this repo:

Ultimate Project combines two separate disciplines:

Beastmode -> the software engineering discipline

spec-kit -> the structure and organization of specs

Beastmode gives the engineering workflow. spec-kit gives the project a clear spec foundation.

Putting them together creates a development loop where the system starts from specs, keeps context in memory, and follows a more structured implementation lifecycle.

Combination Repo: https://github.com/senolcolak/ultimate-project

beastmode: https://github.com/BugRoger/beastmode spec-kit: https://github.com/github/spec-kit

For small project, a simple history file ./store-my-history in a dir works. For bigger projects, I think structured specs + engineering memory matter much more than prompt files alone.

I’d be curious how others here are handling spec organization, memory, and iteration flow in agent-driven development.

We’ve been running Rook-Ceph in production across multiple client environments. In one example, we built a setup with 8 refurbished Dell servers (128GB RAM, 8–14 JBOD disks each) over 10G networking. It supports geo-replication between sites and has been stable for over 2 years. Total hardware cost was under $100k.

Rook simplifies the operational overhead of Ceph quite a lot, especially in Kubernetes-native stacks. For teams with large data and HA requirements, it's been a solid on-prem alternative. SLA-backed managed services are also becoming more common, which helps reduce the operational burden even further.

Imagine that each of our mobile phone is a separate internet server and we are a part of the hosting infrastructure, too…

Wouldn’t that make it safer to share photos with a parent group at your child’s school in a fully isolated network. Share documents with your company’s private, and encrypted internet network of two hundred other peers only?
