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.
The DEEP, OVHcloud and Clever Cloud consortium selected to deliver sovereign cloud services for European institutions
Paris – April 17, 2026 – The consortium composed of DEEP by POST Luxembourg Group, OVHcloud and Clever Cloud today announces its selection by the European Commission as part of a major procurement framework to provide sovereign cloud services to the institutions, bodies and agencies of the European Union. This contract, with a ceiling of €180 million over six years, marks a significant milestone in the concrete implementation of Europe’s digital sovereignty strategy.
What makes Clever Cloud unique
Most cloud platforms ask you to pick a lane. Serverless with hard limits on memory, execution time, and payload size. Containers locked to a single hyperscaler with databases resold from third parties. Or raw infrastructure where you manage everything yourself.

Sōzu 2.0 — turning a reverse proxy into a programmable edge
Sōzu is the reverse proxy that sits in front of every application running on Clever Cloud. After eighteen months of work — first the HTTP/2 multiplexer, built on our existing kawa pivot, then almost every other layer of the proxy, and finally a long run in production on the cleverapps.io load balancers — Sōzu 2.0 is out.
K3s vs K8s: What Are the Differences and Which One Should You Choose in 2026?
Kubernetes has become the standard for container orchestration. But depending on your infrastructure constraints (limited resources, edge computing, IoT, or large-scale enterprise clusters), the distribution you choose can radically change the operational experience. K3s and K8s (upstream Kubernetes) address different needs, even though both share the same CNCF-certified foundation.

Kubernetes vs Docker : Differences and When to Use Them
When people start exploring cloud-native technologies, one confusion comes up almost every time: are Docker and Kubernetes competitors? Do you have to choose between them? And why do people so often talk about Docker “with” Kubernetes?
K8S: What Is Kubernetes, How It Works, and Why It Became the Standard
K8S, short for Kubernetes, is an open source container orchestration system originally developed by Google and donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in 2015. It automates the deployment, scaling, resilience, and networking of containerized applications across clusters of servers. In just over a decade, K8S has become the technical foundation on which a majority of modern cloud applications run.
