Why Partner with UpCloud?
I’ve been passionate about the hosting industry since 2001. Before founding UpCloud, my first company grew to become one of Finland’s largest shared web hosting providers, serving over 30,000 customers. Along the way, I faced the same challenges many of you know well—24/7 on-call responsibilities, solving technical issues, and managing customer inquiries.
At UpCloud, we’ve designed a platform that solves these challenges, offering reliability, scalability, and unparalleled support. We understand the pressures you face because we’ve been there too. Partner with us, and let’s help you focus on growing your business while we handle the rest.
Sincerely, Joel Pihlajamaa CTO, Founder

In our latest webinar, “Unlocking the Power of Managed Kubernetes® with UpCloud” host Will Barlow was joined by PaaS Product Manager, Miguelángel Fernández and Lead Engineer, Nathaniel Ham to unveil the next evolution of UpCloud Kubernetes Service (UKS).
Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s new, what’s improved, and what’s next.
UKS is designed to reduce the complexity of deploying containers in the cloud. By abstracting the control plane, UKS allows developers to focus on their applications while delivering performance and scalability.
Highlighting the evolution of UpCloud’s managed Kubernetes offering, Nate shared insights on how the team’s internal use of UKS helped identify real-world issues. In understanding that usability has to be the center of everything, the team got to work to make deployments effortless, removing the learning curve commonly associated with running Kubernetes.
As UKS is built on top of UpCloud’s own infrastructure, this meant the team had to optimize the user experience for themselves first, with early internal demos helping teams visualize their contributions (like load balancers and VMs) coming together in real-time.
Facing scalability and user experience hurdles head-on led to more robust architecture choices and product decisions that benefit all users.

Automated clustered and a free developer control plane is only the start or the updates for UKS! Here’s what users can expect in the coming months:
From beginner-friendly features to power-user flexibility, UKS is evolving fast!

Containerization has transformed the way we develop, ship, and operate software. By packaging applications along with their dependencies into isolated units called containers, developers can count on them running the same way everywhere. Whether it’s a laptop, a test server, or a production cloud cluster. The rise of containers has not only simplified the development […]
