We’ve introduced a new capability to make your cluster operations smoother and more predictable: Scheduled Upgrades for our Managed Kubernetes service.

As a DevOps engineer, you know that staying on supported Kubernetes versions is essential - not just for security patches, but also for ensuring compatibility with the wider CNCF ecosystem. But planning and executing upgrades across environments can be a chore, especially when your running many Kubernetes Clusters.

Introducing Thalassa DBaaS: PostgreSQL in Beta

Databases are one of the most common services deployed in the cloud by DevOps teams. And today, PostgreSQL is the industry standard—with good reason. At Thalassa Cloud, most of our internal systems rely on PostgreSQL. Because we work closely with our customers, we know that many workloads running on our platform do too. For DevOps teams who want to run PostgreSQL on a Dutch cloud platform—but without the operational overhead - we’re introducing Thalassa Database as a Service (DBaaS).

Creating an organisation on the Thalassa Cloud Platform

The Thalassa Cloud Platform gives you full control over your cloud infrastructure, running in your own datacenter or hosted environment. It combines the flexibility of public cloud APIs with the control of private infrastructure. Before you can start deploying workloads, you need to create an organisation. This is the main structure for managing your cloud environment, users, quotas, and billing. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the full process.

Introduction into Load Balancers on Thalassa Cloud

Introduction into Load Balancers on Thalassa Cloud Load balancers play a critical role in any cloud infrastructure. They ensure that incoming traffic is reliably routed to healthy services, distributing load across multiple backend targets. On Thalassa Cloud, load balancers are designed from the ground up to be fast, flexible, and API-driven. Built on top of Envoy Proxy, our load balancer implementation provides high performance with a strong focus on automation and self-service.

Announcing Thalassa Cloud's Go SDK

We’ve just released the first version of thalassa-cloud/client-go, our Go SDK for integrating with the Thalassa Cloud API. This SDK is intended for engineers and teams looking to interact with Thalassa Cloud programmatically. It provides a native Go interface to our API and will be the base for upcoming tools like our CLI, Terraform provider, Kubernetes CCM, and other integrations. What’s included The initial release includes support for core primitives such as VPCs, Subnets, Organizations, basic compute functionality.

VPC Networking Upgrade with Custom Route Tables

Introducing Custom Route Tables for VPCs Networking is at the core of any cloud infrastructure, and Thalassa Cloud’s Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) provide secure, isolated environments for deploying workloads. Until now, our VPC networking was fully automated—when a NAT Gateway or other networking component was created, routing rules were automatically assigned. While this made deployment seamless, it limited flexibility for advanced networking use cases. With the introduction of custom route tables, users now have full control over how traffic moves within their VPCs, enabling:

Understanding Digital Sovereignty

Understanding Digital Sovereignty Digital sovereignty has become essential for organizations in Europe looking to maintain control over their digital infrastructure and operations. With increasing reliance on external platforms, the ability to secure and manage data independently is critical for compliance, resilience, and growth. By prioritizing digital sovereignty, businesses can safeguard their operations, ensure alignment with European regulatory compliance, and build a foundation for sustainable success. What is Digital Sovereignty? Digital sovereignty means having complete control over your organization’s data, infrastructure, and cloud environments.
