Clever Cloud Airgap

For environments where security leaves no room for error

Some organizations cannot remain permanently connected. In sectors such as defense, energy, industry, or critical infrastructure, control and confidentiality of systems are essential.

Airgap: the cloud without internet dependency

Clever Cloud AirGap is an isolated version of our platform, designed to operate without exposure to the public network. It allows you to deploy, monitor, and scale your applications in a fully controlled environment — without relying on the Internet — while maintaining the power and simplicity of the Clever Cloud model. You remain in control of your data flows, internal policies, and updates, with a high level of automation and reliability.

That’s exactly what Clever Cloud AirGap delivers: a controlled cloud environment, integrated into your infrastructures, and completely independent from the Internet.

  1. 01

    01 Complete isolation, fully controlled by your teams

    AirGap operates without Internet access in production. Updates are planned, validated, and executed under your supervision, within a strictly secured framework. You define the pace and scope of each evolution.

  2. 02

    02 Seamless operational continuity

    You benefit from the same mechanisms as on Clever Cloud: automated deployment, integrated monitoring, version management, and observability. Your teams keep their usual practices, without having to reinvent their tools or processes.

  3. 03

    03 Simplified compliance

    AirGap naturally fits into your compliance or certification processes. The traceability of updates, action logging, and operational transparency simplify audits and strengthen proof of compliance with your internal or external authorities.

  4. 04

    04 A solution ready for the Edge and isolated sites

    AirGap can be deployed just as easily in a datacenter as on local infrastructures or remote sites. This flexibility ensures service continuity, even in disconnected or low-connectivity environments.

A European approach to digital security

Clever Cloud AirGap was born from a simple conviction: security and performance should never be at odds.
Our mission is to offer organizations a modern, efficient, and sustainable operating model while ensuring their strategic autonomy.

By hosting the Clever Cloud Control Plane on your own infrastructure, you retain full sovereignty over your data, processes, and technological choices.
No dependency on an imposed ecosystem, no proprietary lock-in — AirGap adapts to your environment, not the other way around.

What are the main benefits of this solution?
It provides total independence, enhanced security, and simplified compliance. You enjoy the same performance as on Clever Cloud, with smooth integration into your infrastructures and genuine European strategic autonomy.

What security guarantees does AirGap offer?
AirGap ensures complete isolation, outbound flow control, and comprehensive traceability of operations. Update procedures follow strict, reproducible, and auditable protocols.

Is it compatible with our internal compliance policies?
Yes. AirGap has been designed to meet the most demanding regulatory frameworks and internal policies, while simplifying the production of compliance evidence.

Do we receive support during deployment?
Yes. The Clever Cloud teams assist with setup, configuration, and update planning, working directly with your security and operations teams.

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.
