Engineering add-on platform for Platform9 OpenStack

pf9-mngt is a production-grade engineering add-on built to extend Platform9 with operational capabilities that cloud operations teams typically end up implementing themselves.

Important:
pf9-mngt is not a replacement for the Platform9 UI.
It is designed to complement Platform9, and both are intended to be used side by side.

What pf9-mngt provides

• Full infrastructure inventory (VMs, volumes, snapshots, networks, users, tenants)
• Snapshot policy engine & SLA compliance reporting
• Monitoring integration (node_exporter / libvirt_exporter)
• FastAPI backend with REST APIs
• React + TypeScript web UI
• PostgreSQL with historical tracking & audit
• LDAP authentication & RBAC
• Docker-based deployment (API, UI, DB, workers)
