European cloud hosting provider offering compute, storage and managed Kubernetes

Exoscale keeps SKS on the upstream release train while the platform play sits elsewhere

managed-kuberneteseuropean-cloudmarketplaceupstream-tracking
◆Current state
Exoscale's changelog interleaves three streams: managed Kubernetes tracking upstream, a marketplace and partner directory that grows most weeks, and the occasional new managed service. Kubernetes 1.37 is now selectable on SKS for new and existing clusters, with Metrics API, Pod Certificates and ClusterTrustBundles, and Node Declared Features all arriving Stable from upstream. Upgrades stay a customer decision — existing clusters are not moved automatically, and minor versions must be stepped through in sequence.
◆Where it's heading
The SKS entries read as a European provider keeping pace rather than differentiating: version availability, container registry mirroring for Karpenter nodes, CPU Manager policies. Where Exoscale is actually moving is in what runs beside the clusters — Managed ClickHouse in August put an analytics engine on the same estate as the object storage — while the partner and marketplace posts fill the cadence between. Expect the Kubernetes entries to keep reporting upstream rather than making an argument of their own.
◆Prediction
The next SKS entries are likely to be operational — node pool and upgrade tooling around 1.37 — with any directional move coming from another managed service rather than from the Kubernetes track.

    SKS: Kubernetes 1.37 Now Available

    Kubernetes 1.37 becomes selectable on SKS for new and existing clusters, bringing the upstream Stable graduations — the metrics.k8s.io/v1 API, Pod Certificates and ClusterTrustBundles for workload identity, and Node Declared Features for mixed-version upgrades. Exoscale makes the version available rather than changing what SKS itself does; clusters are not upgraded automatically and minor versions must be stepped through in order.

    New partner: CC-Interactive joins Works with Exoscale

    CC-Interactive joins the Works with Exoscale partner directory. Ecosystem listing rather than a platform change, and a regular filler in this feed.

    New partner: Lombiq joins Works with Exoscale

    Lombiq joins the partner directory. Same directory addition as the CC-Interactive post three days later.

    Managed ClickHouse®: Real-Time Analytics, Fully Managed in Europe

    ⚡ SPARK

    The one release in this window that changes what the platform is for: a managed OLAP engine sitting on the same estate as the object storage and Kubernetes clusters. The SKS and marketplace entries around it are cadence; this is the direction.

    SKS: Container registry mirroring for Karpenter nodes

    Karpenter-provisioned nodes gain container registry mirroring on SKS, cutting external pulls during scale-out. Operational work on the autoscaling path, the kind of refinement that follows a managed Kubernetes service settling into production use.
