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.

STACKIT

  • Comprehensive IaaS: Compute and Storage

    STACKIT's Compute Engine provides virtual machines and GPUs for workloads from general computing to AI training. Storage options include object for unstructured data, block for high-performance databases, file sharing, and automated backups. These run in EU data centers, offering low-latency access and scalability without vendor lock-in. Users benefit from predictable performance in regulated environments.

  • Managed Kubernetes and PaaS

    The STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE) deploys CNCF-compliant clusters with automated scaling and updates. Cloud Foundry supports application development and operations. Databases and messaging services like RabbitMQ integrate seamlessly. Developers focus on code while STACKIT handles infrastructure, reducing setup time and operational overhead for containerized apps.

  • Security and Observability Tools

    Features like Secrets Manager, Key Management Service, and Network Security protect data at rest and in transit. Confidential Computing safeguards sensitive workloads. Logging via LogMe and Observability stack provide real-time insights. These tools ensure compliance and quick issue resolution, vital for industries facing strict audits.
