Features

• App installation name: UpCloud Stacks and preconfigured GPU templates; names: Dokku, Supabase, Ubuntu with NVIDIA drivers, CUDA, NVIDIA Container Toolkit and Docker CE; description: Stacks are documented, curated deployment patterns rather than a broad one-click marketplace; the GPU template includes its listed application stack.
  ✓
• Templates & images types: public Linux distribution templates, licensed Windows Server templates, GPU-ready Ubuntu template, CD-ROM installation media, custom images, URL-based storage import, snapshots and Simple Backups
  ✓
• Network orchestration services: UpCloud Control Panel, REST API and SDKs, upctl CLI, Terraform provider, Pulumi provider, Crossplane provider, Packer builder, Ansible collection, SDN Private Networks and routers, Utility Network global private connectivity, Floating IPs and network peering, Managed Kubernetes, NAT and VPN Gateways
  ✓
• Firewall name: UpCloud Firewall; price: no additional charge; type: per-server stateless L3 ingress and egress firewall; interfaces: Control Panel, API, automation tooling
  ✓
• Load balancer name: Managed Load Balancer; type: managed HTTP, HTTPS and TCP load balancer on SDN private networks; algorithms: round robin; free tier: Essentials: one node and up to 1,000 sessions at no additional charge; integrations: Managed Kubernetes service annotations, automatic TLS certificates
  ✓
• DNS management scope: reverse DNS only; capabilities: free PTR record management per public IP through the Control Panel or API, UpCloud-operated recursive resolvers; hosted authoritative zones: not_applicable — UpCloud explicitly states that it does not offer hosted DNS for customer domains and its resolvers cannot host customer records
  ✓
• Git integrations providers: GitHub, GitLab; capabilities: documented GitHub Actions deployment to Cloud Servers over SSH, documented GitLab CI/CD deployment to Cloud Servers over SSH, self-hosted GitHub Actions runners on Managed Kubernetes; integration type: documented user-managed CI/CD workflows; no native source-to-deployment App Platform connector was found
  ✓
• Container registry providers: GitHub Container Registry, Docker Hub, other registries supported by self-managed Docker or Kubernetes image pull configuration; capabilities: Managed Kubernetes deployment from a ghcr.io image, documented Docker Hub push and pull workflow on Cloud Servers; native registry: not_applicable for this snapshot — UpCloud's own OCI container registry is explicitly listed as in progress, not ready to use
