In September 2015, the birth of Fuga Cloud Platform became a fact. A public cloud developed by Cyso, one of the last independent hosting providers in the Netherlands. We have used our knowledge and expertise, which we have acquired in the field of cloud in the past 20 years, for the development of Fuga Cloud. Last September we celebrated the three-year anniversary of Fuga Cloud. In these three years, tens of thousands of instances have been launched and we are proud of that.

In the last two years, we worked hard with a dedicated team of DevOps engineers, developers and cloud specialists to develop the next major release of the Fuga Cloud Platform. We are finally able to proudly announce the newest release of Fuga Cloud. Our first release (launched in 2015) has proven to be a rock-solid cloud solution with OpenStack at its core. We encountered enough challenges and improvements to develop an entirely new platform, of course, with OpenStack at its core.

It contains many different projects and applications which all communicate with each other using APIs. Each project has a specific job in the cloud ecosystem. We offer a user-friendly dashboard to easily manage your infrastructure, which in turn uses the APIs to communicate and execute the requests that are made by the user in the dashboard to other parts of the Fuga Cloud.
