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.

French Managed Kubernetes: What Are the Alternatives to Hyperscalers in 2026?

French managed Kubernetes services provide organisations with European alternatives to AWS EKS, Google GKE and Azure AKS.

The audit as a weapon: compliance, another battlefield of economic warfare

I recently read the Flash ingérence published by the DGSI in May 2026 on the risks associated with foreign audits. It concerns three French companies confronted, under cover of regulatory procedures, with practices that end up weakening them. One of these examples struck me in particular, because it shows the extent to which the compliance reflex can sometimes turn against the party who believes they are doing the right thing.
