Changelog

We are excited to announce the launch of Workspaces Open Beta, a major architectural evolution designed to give businesses, growing teams, and partners complete control over their cloud environments. This update introduces a brand-new Organization framework that cleanly replaces subaccounts, offering robust resource isolation, flexible multi-tenant access, and enterprise-grade authentication.

Starting today, every new user signing up at the new signup page can seamlessly transition to logical environment separation while maintaining a unified overview of their infrastructure. If you want to migrate your existing UpCloud account to workspaces (created before workspaces), please contact our support.

Note that while Workspaces is fully functional, it is not yet recommended for production environments, and standard UpCloud SLAs do not apply.

Key Features in Open Beta

1. Centralized Multi-Workspace Structure

• Consolidated Environments: Transition from the old "Subaccounts" model to a modern Organization architecture. An Organization acts as your overarching umbrella entity, housing multiple separate Workspaces beneath it.
• Logical Resource Separation: Isolate environments. Each Workspace holds its own dedicated set of resources, allowing you to separate, for example, your development, staging and production environments.
• Seamless Multi-Tenant Access: A single personal user account can now belong to multiple distinct organizations or workspaces. Move between different environments effortlessly using a new sidebar dropdown menu in the UpCloud Hub.

2. Modernized Enterprise Authentication (SSO & OIDC)

• Standard Single Sign-On (SSO): Authenticate instantly using major third-party identity providers, including Google, GitHub, and Microsoft Entra ID.
• Custom Corporate IDPs: Organizations can securely connect their own custom OpenID Connect (OIDC)identity providers for streamlined corporate compliance and user lifecycle management.

3. Multi-Layered Access Governance

• Split Governance Roles: Access management is now cleanly divided into two layers: Organization roles and Workspace access levels.
  • Organization Level: Assign roles such as Org Owner, Admins, or Members to control broad organizational oversight and invitation privileges.
  • Workspace Level: Fine-tune permissions within specific workspaces by granting Owner access, Full access, or Limited access tiers.

Coming Soon (General Availability)

We are actively iterating on your feedback during this beta period. Our upcoming General Availability (GA) release will formally introduce the following features:

• Workspaces Permission: Improved and more granular access control for workspace members, including Read-only access roles.
• Multi-Org Support: The ability to create, manage, and toggle between multiple completely separate organizations from a single account.
• Workspaces Org-Level Billing: Consolidated billing and automated invoicing aggregates tailored at the root Organization level, eliminating manual calculations.
• Workspaces API Management: Full programmatic capabilities to create, modify, and delete workspaces via the UpCloud API

UpCloud File Storage with NFS has expanded to more locations:

• nl-ams1 (Amsterdam)
• de-fra1 (Frankfurt)
• fi-hel1 (Helsinki)
• fi-hel2 (Helsinki)
• us-nyc1 (New York)
• se-sto1 (Stockholm)

File Storage is a fully managed NFS service for SDN Private Networks, built for workloads that need shared access to the same data from multiple servers.

Main benefits include:

• Shared read/write access across multiple servers.
• Scalable capacity as your storage needs grow.
• Simple share management via the UpCloud Hub and API.

We are pleased to announce the Beta release of our entirely redesigned public API Reference Documentation.

Built from the ground up to improve the developer experience (DX), this new portal transitions our API documentation to a modern, schema-driven architecture, making it faster and easier than ever to build automation on the UpCloud platform.

What's New

Our legacy documentation required manual updates, which could occasionally lead to drift between code and docs. This new portal solves that by generating documentation directly from our single source of truth: Our new (Beta) OpenAPI specification.

Key features of the new documentation portal include:

• Responsive Layout and Dark Mode: The portal features a lightning-fast, responsive multi-panel layout with native dark mode support.
• Intelligent Global Search: Quickly find endpoints, parameters, and structural schemas using a fast, built-in index.
• Machine-Readable Access: You can now directly download the raw OpenAPI specification file to generate your own type definitions, custom SDKs, or local Postman collections.
• cURL Snippets: Get instant access to cURL snippets to quickly test out API calls from your local CLI.

Coming Soon

• Code Snippets: Get instant access to code snippets to quickly test out our official SDKs and popular programming languages.
• Interactive API Playground: You can now test live API requests directly from your browser. The integrated playground handles authentication securely and lets you preview responses on the fly.

How to Get Started

Navigating and testing our endpoints in the new portal is straightforward:

1. Head over to the new UpCloud Beta API Reference Portal.
2. Read through the Get Started section to learn how to get an API token to authenticate your API calls.
3. Select an endpoint (such as List Zones under Zone), copy the cURL snippet from the right-hand panel, paste it into your local terminal, replace <token> in --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' with your API token and hit enter.

Important Notes

• Main Source of Truth: The new OpenAPI-powered documentation portal will officially replace our legacy developer docs as the primary source of truth on September 1, 2026.
• Legacy Preservation: The existing documentation (https://developers.upcloud.com) will be moved to a different location but remain available for historical reference.

We are proud to announce that UpCloud’s Managed Kubernetes Service (UKS) has officially achieved CNCF Certified Kubernetes AI Conformance for Kubernetes version 1.35.

Why This Matters

This certification provides independent, community-defined validation that our v1.35 clusters natively support the essential primitives required to run complex, stateful machine learning and artificial intelligence workloads reliably at scale.

Whether your team is deploying distributed training jobs, serving LLM inference models, or building long-running agentic workflows, this conformance guarantees interoperability and performance for:

• Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA): Fine-grained hardware control over multi-node GPU clusters.
• Advanced Batch Scheduling: Native support for all-or-nothing scheduling frameworks (like Kueue) to maximize expensive accelerator uptime.
• Intelligent Autoscaling: Seamless Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) integration mapped to custom AI/GPU hardware metrics.

There is no separate configuration or add-on required. All existing and newly deployed Kubernetes v1.35 clusters are fully compliant with this new cloud-native standard.

To learn more about the testing framework and portability baselines, visit the official CNCF AI Conformance Program.

We are expanding our GPU Server lineup with three new GPU options — NVIDIA L4, H100, and B200 — joining the existing NVIDIA L40S plans.

NVIDIA L4 is well-suited for image generation, speech-to-text, and basic inference workloads. Plans are available with 1, 2, or 3 GPUs and up to 32 CPU cores and 384 GB of RAM.

NVIDIA H100 targets high-traffic inference, large-scale batch processing, and model training. Multi-GPU configurations of 2, 4, and 8 GPUs are available, scaling up to 96 CPU cores and 1920 GB of RAM. All H100 plans include NVLink, providing 900 GB/s of bidirectional GPU-to-GPU bandwidth for efficient distributed workloads.

NVIDIA B200 is designed for the most demanding AI workloads, including trillion-parameter model inference and real-time complex model execution. Multi-GPU configurations with NVLink are available, offering 1.8 TB/s of GPU-to-GPU bandwidth.

All new plans follow the same billing model as existing GPU Servers — you are only charged when the server is powered on. See the GPU Server configurations page for the full list of available plans.
