Cyso Cloud is a European public cloud platform built on OpenStack for startups, SaaS companies, enterprises, and organizations seeking European data residency and GDPR-oriented infrastructure. It combines virtual machine compute with web management, OpenStack-compatible APIs and CLI access, storage, networking, security groups, load balancing, and managed Kubernetes. Workloads can run in Amsterdam or Frankfurt, with Linux distributions and custom images available.

Pricing is organized around monthly per-instance plans. The s5 range starts with s5.small at €17.50 for 2 vCPU, 8 GB memory, and 50 GB storage, followed by s5.medium at €37.50, s5.large at €75, s5.xlarge at €150, s5.2xlarge at €300, and s5.4xlarge at €600. The c5 range starts at €22 for c5.small with 2 vCPU, 4 GB memory, and 25 GB storage; c5.medium costs €43.75 and provides 4 vCPU, 8 GB memory, and 50 GB storage. Published pricing states that resources are billed hourly up to a monthly rate cap.

Its strongest fit is for teams that want OpenStack compatibility without managing every infrastructure layer themselves. Storage options span ephemeral, persistent volume, object, image, snapshot, and volume backup storage. Networking includes private networks, floating IPs, security groups, and load balancing, while identity controls include password policy, VPN keys, RBAC, MFA, SSO, and SSH key pairs. Terraform, Ansible, the OpenStack SDK, OpenStack CLI, S3-compatible tools, and AWS CLI support broaden automation choices. Teams needing a lower entry price or more deployment regions should consider alternatives.
