netcup has no managed Kubernetes, no load balancer, no CSI and an API that cannot create servers. Here is how a three-control-plane Talos cluster still comes up in one tofu apply, and what the measurements say about firewall traps, IOPS, DNS failover and a control panel outage.
We checked every model catalog at OVHcloud, Scaleway, IONOS and STACKIT. Not one carries Kimi, DeepSeek V4 or MiniMax M3 on a shared endpoint. It isn't politics or licensing, it's HBM per node. Full model matrix and per-token pricing included.
Ten weeks of EU cloud news: a KVM escape (Januscape) forces a fleet-wide patch wave that managed Kubernetes did not absorb, Redis gets replaced by Valkey at STACKIT and IONOS, Kubernetes 1.36 spreads unevenly across providers, sovereignty turns into signed contracts, OVHcloud faces criminal charges in Canada, and Infomaniak announces an IPO.
Three months of EU cloud news in one place: OVHcloud, Scaleway and Hetzner all raise prices, a Linux kernel zero-day forces K8s patches everywhere, CloudStack momentum at Cyso, STACKIT keeps shipping, GKE hits 1.36, and sovereignty rhetoric goes from marketing copy to product strategy.
Manual pricing review across 18 EU cloud providers as of May 20, 2026. Exoscale up 74%, OVH up 25%, Gcore down 10–40%, Civo drops EUR and adds NVIDIA H200 SXM 8×, Infomaniak expands GPU catalog, and several providers move to contact-form-only pricing.
31 European cloud providers, same 3-node cluster config, real fio benchmarks. A 13x price spread, storage IOPS ranging from 1,000 to 400,000, and one provider charging 3x more than AWS for a control plane.
Exoscale SKS provisions a Kubernetes cluster in 2 minutes, has great support on a trial account, and lets you choose your CNI. The API endpoint is always public with no IP restrictions — VPC is under development. Full OpenTofu setup and fio benchmarks included.
Hands-on review of OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes. Free control plane, mature vRack networking, API IP restrictions, and solid OpenTofu support. Full breakdown with IaC code.
We checked all 30 providers in our comparison tool for GPU availability. 23 offer GPU compute in some form, 7 don't. Here's the full list with evidence links.
Monthly digest of what happened across European and major cloud providers in early 2026. From Hetzner API changes to STACKIT's AI push, Civo's Konstruct IDP, Thalassa's K8s v1.35, and Kubernetes updates across AWS EKS, GKE, and AKS.
How I built a single-apply OpenTofu module for Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud using Talos Linux, replacing EKS at a fraction of the cost.
The Kubernetes Ingress NGINX controller reaches end-of-life in March 2026. Learn what this means for your clusters, migration options, and which alternatives to consider.
What all those compliance badges actually mean. Which ones you legally need, and which are just marketing fluff.
The real deal on GDPR-compliant cloud hosting in Europe. Why 'sovereign cloud' from US hyperscalers is mostly marketing, and what actually matters.
Hands-on review of Infomaniak Kubernetes. Free control plane, Swiss hosting, but 500 IOPS storage and missing features. Full breakdown inside.
