# OpenCloud Documentation
|
||
*Work in Progress*
|
||
|
||
This documentation site provides a unified and structured view of all core concepts behind **OpenCloud**, the sovereign, distributed, peer-to-peer cloud platform.
|
||
|
||
All OpenCloud microservices expose **OpenAPI-compliant specifications**, ensuring that:
|
||
|
||
- API structures and endpoints are always discoverable
|
||
- Code generation can be automated
|
||
- Integrators can explore service capabilities
|
||
- Implementations remain consistent across deployments
|
||
|
||
The full set of OpenAPI definitions will be progressively published as the platform stabilizes and services reach higher maturity levels.
|
