How do startups benefit from the UP Programme?

Clever Cloud’s UP Programme is specially designed to support start-ups in their early or growth phase.

In addition to the cloud credits allocated for their first year, Clever Cloud offers a full range of services to support these promising projects. These include onboarding and personalised support with our engineers, monthly monitoring and technical support. Start-ups also benefit from workshops, masterclasses and mentoring to strengthen the skills of their team, while gaining visibility through the media, social networks and events organised by Clever Cloud. Finally, they can obtain a recognised certification in partnership with École Hexagone.

With these assets, the UP Programme aims to reduce the technical and financial barriers faced by startups, providing them with the tools they need to turn the cloud into a lever for growth rather than an obstacle.

The UP Programme supported by its partners

Clever Cloud’s UP Programme benefits from the support of partners committed to the development of the start-up ecosystem. These include ADN Ouest, H7, Épopée Gestion and École Hexagone, whose support and commitment are helping to nurture the start-ups of tomorrow.

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.
