A K8s-native layer to manage EU-centric, vendor-neutral IaaS & PaaS — from a single place
Automated (EU-governed) IaaS setup & config
Looking southbound (= towards the IaaS-layer), the ValueCloud Service Foundation master cluster manages all IaaS resources, across multiple providers. You simply add the API key to integrate with your preferred IaaS-provider, and ValueCloud deployment engine does all the rest. Security and privacy for all secrets is guaranteed, across the process.
A single, consistent API for powerful PaaS
Looking northbound (= towards the PaaS layer), each single ValueCloud Service Foundation customer instance offers the same and consistent Kubernetes API to manage all additional PaaS components. It’s never been easier to build a fully-loaded, vendor-agnostic and EU-compliant Cloud native Stack, at the speed of light.
