CKE in public beta: managed, sovereign, and properly integrated Kubernetes
Clever Cloud was founded in 2010. At that point, Docker did not exist, and Kubernetes even less. The problem, however, was already there: running our first customers' applications reliably, in isolation, and predictably.

Managed Kubernetes: benefits, limitations and selection criteria
A managed Kubernetes service is an offering in which the cloud provider manages the Kubernetes control plane on the user’s behalf. Provisioning, updates, availability and certificate rotation are handled by the provider. The user retains control over their workloads and node pools but does not administer the cluster’s critical infrastructure.
Kubernetes Cloud: What It Is, How It Works, and the Main Types of Offerings
People often talk about "Kubernetes cloud" as if it were a single product, or set Kubernetes and the cloud against each other as competing choices. Neither is accurate.
Clever Cloud’s partnership strategy: building an open ecosystem for strategic autonomy
When we launched our PaaS, Clever Cloud, our mission was clear: to create a cloud platform that developers would trust and enjoy using, something reliable, intuitive, and well-suited to the evolving demands of modern software development.
HDS Certification and Compliance: Scope, Limitations and Sovereignty
HDS certification attests to the security of health data hosting; it is not intended to provide immunity from extraterritorial laws such as the Cloud Act or FISA. Using a certified hosting provider does not, moreover, make an organisation “HDS compliant”: the certification status remains with the hosting provider, while some obligations continue to rest with the client.
HDS migration: migrate your healthcare data with no perceptible downtime
An HDS migration consists of transferring an application and its healthcare data from one hosting provider to another while maintaining the required certification and service continuity. When properly planned and executed, the perceived interruption can be reduced to a simple DNS switch. For example, when Madietenligne, a provider of an e-health solution for dietitians, migrated to Clever Cloud, its test and production environments were moved in less than fifteen days, covering 500 GB of data, with no downtime perceived by users.
