Cycloid
Give your teams the autonomy to deploy without sacrificing governance.
Key Features
-
01
01 Controlled self-service
Developers select a stack from the Cycloid catalog, configure their deployment within authorized parameters, and launch it in minutes without intervention from the platform team. The guardrails defined upstream remain enforced for every deployment.
0202 GitOps governance and traceability
Every deployment is versioned, reversible, and compliant with established policies. Cycloid centralizes deployment workflows and governance rules while ensuring full traceability of operations and rollbacks.
0303 Sovereign infrastructure with managed operations
Execution relies on Clever Cloud: high availability, operational maintenance included, and hosting in European datacenters. Teams deploy with the confidence that the infrastructure meets its service commitments.
0404 Multi-cloud without lock-in
Cycloid orchestrates hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Platform teams define the available service catalog regardless of the target providers. Clever Cloud integrates as a sovereign execution layer within this ecosystem.
0505 FinOps and cost control
Before any deployment, teams can visualize the estimated infrastructure cost. Consumption is then monitored by team, project, and environment from a centralized interface.
Use Cases
Deploy applications to production
In minutes, autonomously, from the Cycloid interface
Manage multiple environments
dev, staging, production – from a single portal
Standardize deployments
Across multi-team or multi-cloud organizations
Centralized cloud control tower
Unified visibility across deployed resources, consumption, costs, and carbon footprint across all providers and environments
Infrastructure and application interoperability
IaC, Ansible, containers, on the abstraction layer of your choice
Why this combination?
Clever Cloud and Cycloid are two French companies sharing a common objective: simplifying the daily work of technical teams operating in increasingly heterogeneous multi-cloud environments. Cycloid handles orchestration and governance, while Clever Cloud provides execution on sovereign infrastructure. Both layers are distinct and complementary; neither one alone covers the entire problem space.
Sustainability
Clever Cloud continuously optimizes resource allocation to consume only the energy required: dynamic allocation, servers used throughout their lifecycle, and datacenters powered mostly by low-carbon energy. Cycloid extends this approach at the orchestration level: before any deployment, teams can visualize estimated costs and carbon footprint using the same filtering criteria. Together, they enable organizations to manage both energy and financial efficiency from the design phase, not only afterward.

Managed Kubernetes: benefits, limitations and selection criteria
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.Kubernetes Cloud: What It Is, How It Works, and the Main Types of Offerings
People often talk about “Kubernetes cloud” as if it were a single product, or set Kubernetes and the cloud against each other as competing choices. Neither is accurate.Clever Cloud’s partnership strategy: building an open ecosystem for strategic autonomy
When we launched our PaaS, Clever Cloud, our mission was clear: to create a cloud platform that developers would trust and enjoy using, something reliable, intuitive, and well-suited to the evolving demands of modern software development.
