Elastx

  • Three Swedish Availability Zones for High Availability

    Elastx spreads infrastructure across three zones, each 20 km apart, ensuring no single failure impacts services. This supports active-active setups and automatic failover. Triple redundancy protects data, with built-in backups and disaster recovery options. Customers report seamless operations during outages elsewhere.

  • Open-Source IaaS with OpenStack and Kubernetes

    The platform uses OpenStack for virtual machines, block/object storage, and networking. Kubernetes CaaS handles container orchestration, with managed clusters including auto-scaling and load balancers. Documentation covers persistent volumes, ingress controllers, and integrations like cert-manager. No proprietary tech means easy migration.

  • Advanced Security and DBaaS

    DDoS protection, WAF, threat intelligence, and encryption come standard. DBaaS supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, Valkey, and MSSQL, with automated backups, scaling, and observability metrics. Firewalls, TLS, and role-based access align with enterprise needs. ISO certifications verify compliance processes.

  • Flexible Pricing and Sustainability

    Pay hourly for resources used, with no contracts or egress fees for common scenarios. Included services reduce surprise costs. Green electricity powers data centers, meeting ISO 14001 standards. Support tiers offer 24/7 access for critical users.

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.
