Your infrastructure definitions shouldn't be locked inside a vendor's platform
Proprietary platforms trap your infrastructure definitions. When you want to leave, you rewrite everything.
OpenMCF is the open-source foundation that powers every Planton deployment. Protobuf-defined APIs, Pulumi and Terraform modules, portable KRM YAML manifests.

OpenMCF
Protobuf-defined APIs for 350+ cloud resource types. Pulumi and Terraform modules. Validate and deploy from the CLI without any SaaS dependency.
Every resource kind has a typed protobuf spec — not freeform YAML
Pulumi modules in Go, TypeScript, Python and Terraform/OpenTofu modules
CEL validation rules catch configuration errors before deployment
Use standalone or as the foundation for Planton's managed platform

Define in Protobuf
Typed specs mean every field is documented, validated, and generates language bindings automatically.
CEL Validation
Built-in validation rule templates catch misconfigurations before any IaC runs.
