Our verdict on Aruba Cloud
Aruba Cloud is a European cloud infrastructure platform from Aruba S.p.A., serving developers, software houses, small and medium-sized businesses, enterprises, and public-sector organizations. Its service set covers OpenStack VPS and cloud servers, bare-metal servers, virtual data centers, managed Kubernetes, container application hosting, object and block storage, managed databases, networking, monitoring, backups, and VMware-based private cloud infrastructure. Customers can manage services through web-based tools and APIs, with deployments available across Aruba’s European data-center network.
Pricing makes the platform particularly relevant for cost-conscious VPS buyers. The Cloud VPS OpenStack Starter plan costs €1.99 per month, billed monthly, and includes 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB storage, 2 TB monthly data transfer, and 1 Gb/s connectivity. The Cloud VPS OpenStack plan costs €6.29 per month, billed monthly, and increases the allocation to 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB storage, 25 TB monthly data transfer, and 1 Gb/s connectivity. According to the vendor’s pricing notes, prices exclude VAT, and availability or pricing may vary by country or selected region.
Beyond VPS hosting, Aruba Cloud connects OpenStack infrastructure with Kubernetes, S3-compatible object storage, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Veeam, Zerto, and VMware services. Virtual data centers include security groups and private networking, while the broader platform adds autoscaling, load balancing, managed databases, and disaster-recovery services. That breadth suits teams that want to expand from a VPS into containers, storage, databases, or private cloud infrastructure. Buyers seeking an inexpensive OpenStack starting point should consider Aruba Cloud; those needing only a very small server may find the Starter plan’s 1 GB of RAM limiting as workloads grow.
