Vultr, the world’s largest privately-held cloud computing company, and Cloud 66, the Platform as a Service (Paas) for building, deploying, and managing applications on any cloud, announced a partnership expansion providing developers with integrated DevOps and cloud infrastructure provisioning services. With their now expanded joint offering built on open, API-first standards, Vultr and Cloud 66 are making DevOps more effortless and predictable, simplifying infrastructure provisioning and deployment across a range of high-performance cloud computing services, including on-demand access to cloud GPUs.
By combining Vultr’s advanced cloud hosting and services with Cloud 66’s flexible PaaS, the two partners are enabling developer teams worldwide with one-click access to out-of-the-box, affordable cloud options, including high-performance cloud servers, fractional cloud GPUs (H100, A100, A40, and A16), bare metal, and cloud storage. Thanks to Vultr’s growing cloud footprint, now covering over 30 data center locations across the globe, developers can also work in the regions they develop in, alleviating compliance and data sovereignty challenges.
