ELITS is a Montreal-based subsidiary of Iver (1,700-person parent company) focused on OpenStack infrastructure, cloud operations, and AI/XR consulting. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) and containerization (Kubernetes, Docker, OpenStack native components), with active upstream contributions to OpenStack and a project portfolio spanning 5G core networking, bare-metal-as-a-service, and GPU provisioning. The hiring mix—15 engineers and 5 ops staff, split evenly between mid and senior levels—reflects a consultancy scaling delivery rather than building a single product.
ELITS provides R&D and IT consulting, operations infrastructure, and cloud delivery services to mid-market and enterprise customers in North America and globally. The company specializes in OpenStack deployment and migration, cloud-native architecture (Kubernetes, microservices), AI infrastructure, and extended-reality solutions. A core theme across their active projects is abstracting infrastructure complexity: they're building backup-as-a-service, GPU-as-a-service, and bare-metal-as-a-service offerings while managing PostgreSQL performance at scale and handling multi-environment high-availability scenarios. Founded in 2006 and now operating as part of Iver, ELITS bridges the gap between customer aspiration and operational reality in complex cloud and AI infrastructure rollouts.
OpenStack (Neutron, Cinder, Ironic, Keystone), Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, plus Node.js/Python/Java for application layers. Rust and C++ appear in lower-level infrastructure work.
OpenStack upstream contributions and migrations, 5G core network microservices, LLM deployment infrastructure, bare-metal-as-a-service, GPU-as-a-service, backup-as-a-service, geo-redundant PostgreSQL, and AI gateway platforms.
