To configure single sign-on (SSO) with Keycloak, deploy Keycloak as an identity provider, then create a dedicated realm separate from master and a client for each application.

In a modern cloud architecture, an application rarely consists of a single component: APIs, microservices, databases and authentication services continuously exchange data.

SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an open standard based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) that enables Single Sign-On (SSO) across multiple domains. It delegates authentication to a central identity provider, which sends each application a signed “assertion” proving the user’s identity, without requiring the user to re-enter or share their password with each application.

French managed Kubernetes services provide organisations with European alternatives to AWS EKS, Google GKE and Azure AKS. OVHcloud, Scaleway and Clever Cloud now offer such services on infrastructure located in France or elsewhere in Europe. However, choosing a French managed Kubernetes service involves more than server location: the infrastructure model, the division of operational responsibilities and integration with other cloud services are equally important.
This article compares the three offerings and outlines the key criteria for making a decision.

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.

HDS certification confirms that a hosting provider meets the requirements of the standard within the scope covered by its certificate. It does not, however, guarantee immunity from extraterritorial laws such as the CLOUD Act or FISA. Nor does using a certified hosting provider make an organisation “HDS compliant”: certification belongs to the hosting provider, and some obligations remain with the client.

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.

You write to Materia KV using a Redis or Valkey client, then access your data through a typed GraphQL endpoint. Same cluster, same token, no synchronization layer in between. Use the best of both worlds depending on your needs. Here’s how it works.

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.

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?

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.

Public services are engaged in an ongoing digital transformation, driven by increasing user expectations, service continuity requirements, and growing security needs.

The digital transformation of the public sector is accelerating: online services, business applications, document management systems, health data, and collaborative tools.

As the end of the year approaches, it is time to look back at the new features we have rolled out for our customers since the summer. The platform has continued to improve, supported, as always, by new initiatives and growth in emerging areas.

Secure, sovereign and optimised for the needs of the healthcare sector... Find out why our cloud is the ideal solution for your sensitive applications and data.

A command line interface (CLI) is at the core of developer experience. At Clever Cloud, we have been providing Clever Tools for almost 10 years.

Your applications and services are evolving in an increasingly complex environment, requiring effective management of APIs and interactions with artificial intelligence models such as the very popular LLMs (Large Language Models).

COBOL, a programming language that is over 60 years old, continues to power a large proportion of the IT systems of the world's major companies, particularly in the financial and insurance sectors.

Clever Cloud was born out of a desire to make life easier for developers, by providing them automation tools and interfaces, so that they can concentrate on their applications and sites.

Clever Cloud’s mission has always been to provide its customers a quick and easy way to deploy applications, based on the more standards tools.
