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.

OVHcloud

  • Anti-DDoS Protection and Vast Network Capacity

    Every OVHcloud service includes unlimited anti-DDoS mitigation, scrubbing attacks across layers 3, 4, and 7 without downtime fees. The global network exceeds 100 Tbit/s, ensuring low latency and high throughput. No charges apply to outbound traffic, unlike some rivals, which helps control costs for data-intensive apps like streaming or backups.

  • Sustainability with Low PUE and Resource Reuse

    OVHcloud reports a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.28 across its facilities, beating industry averages. It uses 7 times less water than peers and runs on 100% low-carbon energy sources. Servers get repurposed for secondary uses before recycling, targeting zero landfill waste by 2025. This approach reduces operational costs passed to customers.

  • OpenStack Public Cloud and Reversibility

    Built on OpenStack, the public cloud supports pay-as-you-go pricing with API access for automation. Private cloud options avoid lock-in through data export tools and standard formats. Customers retain full control, with no data mining for ads. Features like vRack private networking connect services seamlessly across regions.
