Njira zachitukuko, kupanga zisankho ndi mapangidwe akonzedwa kuti aziwonekera momveka bwino momwe zingathere.
Zikudziwika kuti chigamulocho chinapangidwa pambuyo pophunzira kwa nthawi yaitali za mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya malonda a mapulogalamu otseguka ndi bungwe la mgwirizano pakati pa anthu.

Izi zikuphatikiza kuthandizira pakutumiza kwa ma seva atsopano mumtambo wa Amazon EC2, Rackspace, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud, OpenStack ndi Microsoft Azure. Mayankho opangira ophika amagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi Facebook, Amazon ndi HP. Node zowongolera zophika zitha kutumizidwa pa RHEL ndi Ubuntu zochokera kugawa. Zogawa zonse zodziwika za Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, AIX, Solaris ndi Windows zimathandizidwa ngati zinthu zowongolera.
