Our verdict on Cloud&Heat IaaS
Cloud&Heat IaaS is a public OpenStack cloud for companies operating digital projects. It combines virtual compute instances with networking, storage, identity, images, monitoring, key management and load balancing. Access is available through the OpenStack Horizon dashboard and API, with cloud locations in Dresden and Frankfurt. Its positioning around German hosting and open-source technologies makes it relevant for teams seeking control over infrastructure and deployment choices.
Pricing is structured around monthly per-instance rates and different commitment periods. Compute S costs €18.25 per instance per month with no term, €13.14 with a one-year term, or €9.49 with a three-year term; each option includes 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM and 15 GB SSD. Compute M costs €36.5 with no term, €26.28 with a one-year term, or €18.98 with a three-year term, providing 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 25 GB SSD. Compute L is listed at €52.56 per instance per month for one year, with 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM and 50 GB SSD. Prices exclude applicable taxes and charges.
The platform’s strongest fit is for buyers that value OpenStack compatibility and longer-term infrastructure planning. Virtual networks, routers, floating IPs, security groups, triple-redundant Ceph storage, NVMe storage, GPU instances up to A100, monitoring and key management cover a broad infrastructure scope. Terraform, OpenTofu and python-openstackclient support automation across web and API workflows. The three-year commitment may suit organizations optimizing for long-term pricing, while buyers needing maximum contract flexibility or broader location coverage may find the service less suitable.
