Waldur is a platform for managing resources in HPC centres as well as private and public clouds. It supports multiple on-prem and cloud technologies, includes a common accounting, user self-service and integration with help desks.
Overview
Waldur is a platform consisting of two main components.
Waldur MasterMind cloud orchestrator exposes REST API service that enables end-customers to access Marketplace, organization, project and resource management functionality. MasterMind comes with Admin Portal interface for operator-only use.
Waldur HomePort is a web-based self-service portal for end customers and operators. It is built as Single Page Application (SPA) and communicates with MasterMind API service directly from a user browser. It exposes almost all of the MasterMind functionality in a user and mobile friendly way.
In addition to HomePort, advanced users can make use of Ansible modules for integrating Waldur in their configuration.
Highlights
- Waldur is a platform for managing private clouds, public clouds and HPC Centres. It automates OpenStack and Slurm, has billing, user self-service and a support desk.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Waldur, billed per running compute instance. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so pricing scales with the size and family of hardware you choose. The general-purpose m-series (m6a.large, m4.large, m3.large) suit balanced workloads. The compute-optimized c-series (c5, c7i, c5ad, c4, c5a in various sizes) fits processing-heavy tasks. The d2.xlarge targets storage-dense work. Larger sizes (2xlarge, 4xlarge) add more resources per hour than smaller ones. You run only the instances you need, and hourly charges stop when you stop them.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension bills per hour that one instance of the named EC2 type runs. One running instance equals one billed unit per clock hour. If you run several instances of the same type, each accrues its own hourly charge. Instance size (large, 2xlarge, 4xlarge) sets the hourly rate.
Hourly software charges apply only while an instance runs. When you stop an instance, the hourly charge stops. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the Waldur software meters running hours only.
The hourly dimensions cover running the Waldur software on the chosen EC2 instance. OpenNode also offers deployment, integration, support, consulting, and sponsored feature development. These services are arranged separately and are not part of the hourly instance charge. Contact the vendor to scope any of these services.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
For the initial setup, it is needed to:
Login to local VM and run the commands for initial setup
go the correct directory
cd ~/waldur-docker-compose/
generate a global secret key for Waldur
export SECRET_KEY=$(tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 </dev/urandom | head -c 30 ; echo '')
replace the default secret key in the .env file
sed -i "s/GLOBAL_SECRET_KEY=changeme/GLOBAL_SECRET_KEY=${SECRET_KEY}/" .env
replace the default secret key in the .env file, you need to check the public IP of the instance in the cloud console
sed -i 's/WALDUR_DOMAIN=localhost/WALDUR_DOMAIN="<Public IP>.nip.io"/' .env
add the current user to the docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER newgrp docker
Boot up and verify the container:
start containers
docker compose up -d
verify the deployment
docker compose ps docker exec -t waldur-mastermind-worker status
Create initial user:
Create user
docker exec -t waldur-mastermind-worker waldur createstaffuser -u admin -p password -e admin@example.com
Create initial categories for Marketplace:
Create demo categories for OpenStack: Virtual Private Cloud, VMs and Storage
docker exec -t waldur-mastermind-worker waldur load_categories vpc vm storage
Now it is possible to login to the Waldur instance, which is accessible on https://<VM public IP> with a previously created username.
