Exoscale

A sovereign European cloud is not a technical downgrade. Thomas Perelle and the team at Gravitek.io just proved it. 🔺 They built a fully functional, production-grade Internal Developer Platform (IDP) running entirely on Exoscale SKS Pro for under €100 a month. They put our new managed Karpenter integration to the test to see if a 100% European stack could handle real-world platform engineering pressure, without legacy provisioning hacks or giving up automation. The architecture they deployed is clean: 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴: Workload pools drop to zero nodes when idle. 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲: They used the Tailscale Operator instead of traditional ingress, completely eliminating public internet endpoints and extra load balancer costs. The full architectural breakdown and configuration details are live on the blog. Take a look at what they built and let us know what your current cluster setup looks like: https://lnkd.in/eUhSffAs . . . #platformengineering #karpenter #kubernetes #cloudnative

Managed Thanos is LIVE on Exoscale 🚀 We designed it for critical workloads where long-term stability is an operational requirement. By using low-cost Object Storage for the backend, you get years of history instead of days. It provides a single global view across all your clusters, while we handle the managed control plane and scaling. It is a rock-solid alternative built for production-first environments.

We are attending <Code/Crafts> Conference, DevOpsDays Geneva, and SaaStanak next! Our goal: reeeeaaaal good conversations regarding critical infrastructure. Will you join Marcel Judex, Sebastien Pittet or Iva Bosotina? 🤛 If you are managing workloads where production comes first, find us at our booths or in the hallways. What to ask us there?

Sovereignty by Design. Reliability by Discipline, for the past 15 years it is our mission. We are proud and grateful to be part of the journey to digital independence in Germany. GovTech Deutschland has awarded a €250 million framework contract to Bechtle for cloud and AI services. We are so very proud to be a core partner in this mission. 🙌🏼 This is more than a win for our team. It is the foundation for the Deutschlandplattform and the MEDI:CUS healthcare platform. These are the systems that protect the most sensitive data of millions. When the stakes are this high, sovereignty and long-term stability are nothing optional. They are operational requirements for all parties involved. We stress this, because for regulated enterprises and public institutions, infrastructure can never be an afterthought. Trust is human. It is built through real relationships and clear commitments, not scripts or automation. Looking at our teams together in this photo, you see the faces of people who believe that responsibility cannot be delegated. From the Bechtle team: Konstantin Böhm, Jonas Bahls, Thomas Mitzka and Dennis Wimmer. Joining them from Exoscale: Rainer Gerl, Mathias Nöbauer, Philip Möller and Christopher Prill.

Last week was a sprint across DevOps Days, Babashka, Dutch Clojure and Podim. Mountie acted as our squad lead across all four stops, ensuring we didn't miss a single technical debrief. 🙂↕️ Gernot was on stage at Podim to discuss the necessity of strategic integrity in European infrastructure. While the stage provided the platform, the real signal came from the hallway tracks 👇 Whether the topic was functional scripting or hardware isolation, the takeaway was consistent: production-grade environments require clear responsibility boundaries, not more black-box automation. These hallway insights are already being folded back into our roadmap. Missed the squad on the road?

We are currently defining the offering for our Managed Inference. Help us set the right options in just a few minutes. 👇 The survey takes 3 minutes. Give us your thoughts and join the waitlist! The survey asks for your stance on costs, models and use cases. 3 minutes to get early access: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eTpYh3bB . . . #managedinference #sovereigncloud #exoscale #earlyaccess #aicloud

You like your cloud updates like you like your dashboards: actionable, not decorative? Then our Exoscale Newsletter is for you: a monthly shortcut with “What’s New” and “What’s Next”. 📧 It’s made for teams building and operating on Exoscale infrastructure. Product updates, technical topics we’re working on, and links you can skim when you actually need them. And every now and then, we’ll ask for your input too, like our latest “shape the roadmap” survey, e.g.: We’re building a curated Managed Inference catalog and your input helps us prioritize which models come first. More on that in next post. 😉 Want the next digest sent straight to your inbox? Subscribe here: https://lnkd.in/e6PQBFQZ . . . #newsletter #cloud #gpu #ai #sovereigncloud #europeancloud

Sovereign cloud is moving from policy theory into large-scale public sector reality! This framework with GovTech Deutschland and Bechtle establishes European jurisdiction and multi-cloud interoperability as technical requirements at scale, not just niche discussions. For us, this is an engineering commitment to production-grade sovereignty. We are building this foundation together. 🤩🔺

The most important conversations at any conference happen in the hallway track, where the coffee is lukewarm but the technical discussions are red hot. 😏🔺 This May, we’re doing a Hallway Track Roll Call. We aren't sending "sales reps" with polished pitches. We’re sending the engineers, architects and strategists who are actually building the sovereign AI stack. Why meet the squad? Because AI Forward Engineering needs Human-Led Conversation. Whether you’re wrestling with GPU scaling at DevOps Days or debating functional logic at Dutch Clojure Days, we want to get into the weeds with you. 🫵🏼 The May Lineup: 📍 DevOpsDays Zurich – Hardening the infrastructure. 📍 Dutch Clojure Days ClojureDays Foundation – Functional scale. 📍 Podim Conference – AI strategy for the next wave of startups. Visitors are in for a special treat with Gernot Horak's lecture: “Beyond Cloud: Scaling European Startups with Dedicated AI Inference on Exoscale” We’ve listed our experts in the comments. Reach out and meet us in the hallway for a convo on the nitty-gritty. . . . #cloudtalks #sovereignAI #devopsdays #clojure #podim #forwardengineering
