kloudease is a managed cloud operations platform built on Kubernetes that enables organisations to delegate day-to-day cloud operations to AOE as an external service provider, while retaining full visibility over their infrastructure. By standardising on Kubernetes as the orchestration layer, kloudease provides a consistent, portable, and vendor-neutral foundation for running workloads at scale. Built on STACKIT, the European cloud platform by Schwarz Group, kloudease is designed for organisations that require reliable, governable, and cost-transparent cloud operations without building dedicated in-house capacity for it.

Who is kloudease for?

Managing cloud infrastructure demands specialised expertise, continuous attention, and an up-to-date skill set that many IT teams are not resourced to maintain. At the same time, organisations face increasing pressure around data residency, compliance, and uncontrolled cloud spend. kloudease addresses these challenges for a broad range of organisations:

·      Digital sovereignty and compliance: kloudease runs on STACKIT infrastructure, ensuring data remains within European jurisdiction under GDPR-compliant conditions. This is particularly relevant for organisations subject to NIS2, or sector-specific regulatory requirements, as well as any business seeking to reduce dependency on hyperscalers outside European regulatory reach.

·      Delegation of operational responsibility: From Start-up to large enterprise size, companies can focus on their core business while handing off operations to AOE, under defined service level agreements, so that internal resources can focus on core business priorities.

"With kloudease, we are responding to a clear need we see across organisations of all sizes: cloud is powerful, but managing it well requires time, expertise, and constant attention that most teams simply do not have. kloudease gives our customers a way to benefit fully from cloud infrastructure: sovereign, cost-efficient, and with a partner who takes genuine responsibility. We are proud to bring this to market and excited to present it in Frankfurt."
