Ubicloud aims to provide an open source alternative to AWS by offering core cloud computing services on affordable bare-metal servers.
The focus is currently on compute, PostgreSQL database service, networking capabilities, with plans to add block storage and Kubernetes-based container service.
Co-founders have experience with Citus Data and Azure, and the company recently raised a $16 million seed round.

Openstack is an orchestration platform, but doesn't deal with the lower-level things directly like IAM, fabric management, resource federation...etc. It sounds like they want to release FOSS tools which do that work. The CoreOS team was actually going to do something similar before being acquired.
