description: 'Shadow is a French cloud computing company founded in 2015, launched commercially in
  2016, and chaired by OVHcloud founder Octave Klaba. It streams complete high-end Windows desktops
  (Shadow PC, Shadow PC Pro), sells Nextcloud-based storage as Shadow Drive, and sells sovereign GPU
  compute as Shadow GPU — an OpenStack 2024.1 platform running across seven regions in France,
  Germany, the United States and Canada. Shadow GPU is programmable only through the standard
  OpenStack API: a Keystone v3.14 identity endpoint answers anonymously at
  https://auth.<region>.os.shadow.tech/v3, fronting Nova (compute), Neutron and Octavia
  (networking / load balancing), Designate (DNS), Cinder and Glance (storage and images), Placement,
  Barbican (secrets), CloudKitty (rating) and the Skyline / Horizon dashboards, driven with the
  upstream openstack CLI, Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi or Cluster API. Shadow publishes no OpenAPI,
  AsyncAPI, first-party SDK, MCP server or A2A agent card of its own.'

  name: Shadow GPU (OpenStack API)
  description: 'Shadow GPU is Shadow''s sovereign GPU cloud, delivered as a curated OpenStack 2024.1
    deployment rather than a bespoke REST API. Every programmatic action — launching NVIDIA RTX 2000
    Ada or RTX A4500 GPU instances, attaching Cinder volumes, wiring Neutron networks and Octavia
    load balancers, managing Barbican secrets, reading CloudKitty usage — is performed against the
    standard OpenStack service APIs. Authentication is Keystone: a domain-scoped user (user#domain)
    or, for automation, an Application Credential, delivered as a clouds.yaml or openrc.sh downloaded
    from the dashboard. The Keystone identity endpoint answers anonymously and self-identifies at
    https://auth.<region>.os.shadow.tech/v3; the rest of the service catalog is returned only inside
    an authenticated token response, so per-service endpoints are not publicly enumerable. Shadow
    publishes no OpenAPI document for this surface and points users to the upstream OpenStack API
    reference.'
