Stratus Relay runs virtual machines, managed Kubernetes, object storage and private networking on hardware we operate in Dublin, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Platform teams get predictable burst pricing, encrypted volumes by default and a support bridge that reaches engineers who have rebooted a hypervisor — not a chatbot reading a runbook. Spin up a project, attach a VPC and ship without negotiating a six-month reserved-capacity contract on day one.

Private networks span regions with controlled peering — east-west traffic stays off the public internet unless you open a documented path for a partner integration.
CPU steal time, disk queue depth and NIC drops surface on every VM dashboard so you catch noisy neighbours before customers feel them.
Control planes we patch; you own node pools, autoscaling and ingress. CNI and CSI drivers ship tested together each release train.
Hot, warm and archive buckets share one API. Lifecycle rules move invoice PDFs to cheaper tiers without rewriting your SDK calls.
