About the
Project

Citrix CloudPlatform is a powerful, open-source cloud infrastructure management platform — but historically, its UI/UX has been developer-focused, making it complex for IT admins and operators to manage large-scale deployments effectively. Key workflows like provisioning virtual machines, configuring storage, and managing multi-tenant environments were often buried in legacy UI patterns

Redesign and simplify a core part of the CloudStack interface to:

• Improve usability for non-developer roles (e.g. sysadmins, DevOps engineers)

• Provide clearer visibility into resource usage and deployment status

• Reduce the cognitive load of infrastructure orchestration

• Maintain flexibility for advanced users without sacrificing speed for common tasks
