Exoscale

  • High-Performance Compute Instances

    Exoscale's compute instances use SSD local storage with options for standard, CPU-optimized, memory-optimized and storage-optimized flavors. Sizes range from Micro (512MB RAM, 1 core) to Jumbo (225GB RAM, 24 cores). GPU instances with NVIDIA cards (A30, V100, A40, A5000, RTX 6000 Pro) suit AI tasks. Anti-affinity ensures instances spread across hosts for resilience. Snapshots and custom templates aid backups and deployments. Billing prorates to the second, with powered-off instances charged only for storage.

  • Scalable Kubernetes Service (SKS)

    Managed Kubernetes deploys clusters in 120 seconds. Starter clusters are free (no SLA), Pro offers 99.95% uptime. Users scale worker nodes, manage control planes via portal, CLI, API or Terraform. Integrates with network load balancers. Supports cloud-native apps across zones.

  • Managed DBaaS and Storage

    DBaaS covers PostgreSQL, MySQL, Kafka, OpenSearch, Valkey and Grafana, with plans from Hobbyist (2GB RAM) to Premium (225GB RAM, multiple replicas). Object Storage is S3-compatible with multi-redundancy and replication. NVMe Block Storage attaches multiple volumes per instance for low-latency needs. Traffic: inbound free, intra-zone free, 1TB outbound free per instance monthly.

gridscale

  • Intuitive Control Panel and API

    Administrators use a drag-and-drop interface to deploy VMs or services quickly, reducing setup time from hours to minutes. For developers, a RESTful API enables scripting and integration. Real-time dashboards show consumption and costs, with per-minute billing avoiding overprovisioning. This setup suits teams without dedicated cloud experts.

  • Scalable Compute and Storage Options

    Core offerings include flexible VMs for general workloads, NVMe-based Rocket Storage for speed, and S3 object storage for unstructured data. GPU instances support AI/ML tasks. Managed services cover Kubernetes clusters, PostgreSQL/MySQL databases, and load balancers, with auto-scaling and backups included. Resources provision in seconds across multiple availability zones.

  • Hybrid Core Concierge for HCI

    This fully managed tool automates datacenter operations on hyperconverged infrastructure. Users deploy gridscale's hardware on-site or in chosen locations, gaining public cloud features privately. Modules handle account management, branding, and automation. Onboarding involves hardware procurement, setup, and testing, ensuring seamless cloud exit strategies.
