Vultr and Cycle.io have a long-standing collaboration built on a shared mission: simplifying cloud infrastructure and empowering developers. Today, we are proud to expand our partnership by welcoming Cycle.io into the Vultr Cloud Alliance, helping businesses worldwide deploy containerized applications more efficiently across hybrid and multicloud environments.

Cycle.io is the leading LowOps platform designed to simplify container orchestration and hybrid cloud infrastructure management. By giving organizations the tools to deploy to their own infrastructure – whether on-premises, across clouds, or at the edge – Cycle enables teams to deliver better code faster without the complexities traditionally associated with DevOps.

Simplified infrastructure management

Cycle.io offers a unified control plane that streamlines OS updates, container orchestration, networking, monitoring, and scaling without third-party tools or complex pipelines. This reduces costs, simplifies operations, and helps developers stay productive.

Through a native integration, Cycle users can deploy containers and functions across Vultr’s VMs, Bare Metal, and Cloud GPUs, managing provisioning, load balancing, and automation from a single portal and API. Vultr’s flexible compute options let teams match infrastructure to workload needs, whether it's high-performance backends, scalable frontends, or AI workloads.

Accelerating AI with Vultr Cloud GPU

Vultr offers access to high-performance Cloud GPUs powered by AMD (Instinct MI325X) and NVIDIA (HGX B200) hardware for businesses building or scaling AI initiatives. This flexibility enables Cycle customers to train, fine-tune, and deploy AI models cost-effectively, whether working on computer vision, natural language processing, or predictive analytics.

Businesses can combine on-premises model training – where sensitive data needs to stay local – with inference deployed globally through Vultr’s Cloud GPUs. This hybrid approach ensures both data control and performance optimization. Vultr’s full range of compliance certifications, on-demand sovereign cloud options, and global data residency support make it easier for organizations to manage AI workloads securely while meeting regulatory requirements.

Cycle users can also easily extend their hybrid strategies. With Vultr Direct Connect, organizations can establish dedicated, low-latency links to other public clouds, on-premises systems, or edge environments – simplifying the deployment of distributed, intelligent applications without adding complexity.

This flexibility is critical for businesses deploying AI, IoT, or SaaS applications that require performance, security, and compliance across different environments.

How Cycle.io and Vultr work together

Cycle.io and Vultr work together to simplify infrastructure deployment and management across the globe. By connecting a Vultr account to Cycle, developers can provision servers, deploy containers, and more, all from the Cycle portal. The integration supports flexible setups, like running Bare Metal servers for backend workloads and VMs for frontend services in different regions. Cycle handles orchestration, patches, and scaling automatically, while its API enables custom workflows and automation, reducing deployment time and operational overhead.

Serving the software, cloud, and IoT – key use cases

Cycle.io and Vultr provide a powerful joint solution for software companies, startups, and enterprises building on modern cloud-native architectures. Key use cases include:

• Building SaaS and PaaS platforms: Cycle’s LowOps platform simplifies the launch and scaling of SaaS and PaaS offerings by reducing the DevOps overhead required to manage containerized environments.
• Accelerating venture studios: Innovation hubs can quickly deploy prototypes, test new applications, and scale production environments without needing a full-time DevOps team.
• Hosting multiplayer games: Game developers can deploy backend services across Vultr Bare Metal servers to achieve ultra-low latency and scale to millions of players worldwide.
• Scaling machine learning (AI): Organizations can leverage Vultr’s Cloud GPUs through Cycle’s orchestration platform to streamline AI model training and inference without managing GPU clusters manually.
• ​​Hybrid environments and IoT deployments: Cycle.io and Vultr make building hybrid cloud and edge environments easy. Vultr Direct Connect allows private, low-latency links to other clouds or on-premises systems, while Cycle’s container management and Console Connect Edge SIM simplify IoT deployments across industries like manufacturing, logistics, retail, and healthcare.
