Shroud: Protect yourself from the cloud; when it rains, it pours..

Transform your bare-metal servers into high-performance, secure, and cost-efficient compute platforms.

Shroud is Future Present Labs’ cutting-edge orchestration tool, meticulously engineered to run workloads in ultra-lightweight Firecracker microVMs directly on your physical hardware. Designed for environments where traditional virtualization is too heavy and cloud dependency is not an option, Shroud delivers unparalleled speed, simplicity, and sovereignty.

Why Shroud? Immediate Benefits for Your Enterprise.

Drastically Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Maximize your hardware investment. Shroud’s ultra-low overhead allows you to pack significantly more workloads onto each server, driving down infrastructure costs and boosting operational efficiency. No more paying for bloated layers of abstraction or cloud vendor lock-in.

Uncompromised Security & Air-Gapped Ready

Built for environments demanding the highest levels of control and compliance. Shroud offers strong microVM isolation, a minimalist attack surface, and the ability to operate seamlessly in air-gapped networks. All essential dependencies are vendorable, ensuring supply chain integrity and simplifying FIPS compliance.

Blazing Speed & Unrivaled Performance

Experience near-instant microVM boot times (sub-100ms guest kernel to user-space). This responsiveness is ideal for latency-sensitive applications, bursty computations, event-driven automation, and the demanding needs of next-generation agentic AI workloads. Shroud puts your compute power directly at your fingertips, without the cloud’s inherent latency.

Radical Simplicity for Streamlined Operations

Navigate infrastructure management with ease. Shroud’s intuitive CLI and lean Rust daemon simplify complex orchestration tasks, reducing the operational burden on your teams. Focus on deploying your applications, not managing the infrastructure complexity.

Built For:

• Highly regulated industries (Defense, Government, Finance)
• Air-gapped and high-security environments
• Enterprises seeking bare-metal cost control and sovereignty
• Demanding workloads like agentic AI and real-time automation
• Teams prioritizing performance, efficiency, and simplicity over infinite, costly horizontal scale
