Cycle.io is proud to announce that we have officially joined the Vultr Cloud Alliance , a curated ecosystem of best-in-class cloud providers and services. The alliance is built around the opportunity to provide developers, startups, and enterprises more choice, flexibility, and performance without the overhead of traditional orchestration tools.

Our long-standing collaboration with Vultr has expanded, bringing with it a continuation of our shared vision: helping teams deploy faster, manage less, and scale globally, all while mitigating the lock-in and complexity of hyperscaler platforms.

Vultr's global compute, bare metal, and GPU offerings, combined with Cycle's LowOps orchestration platform, bring customers a simpler way to build hybrid and multicloud environments, all without the operational drag.

Why This Partnership Matters

A Unified Control Plane

This integration brings developers and organization saccess to:

• Provision and manage Vultr VMs, Bare Metal, and Cloud GPUs directly from the Cycle dashboard or API
• Automate OS updates, networking, scaling, and monitoring — no third-party tools or manual processes required
• Eliminate the need for complex Kubernetes setups or cobbled-together DevOps pipelines

The result is a single control plane that handles orchestration from infrastructure provisioning to workload scaling.

Deploy Anywhere, Manage from One Place

Vultr's 25+ data center locations worldwide mean your organization has future flexibility as products scale to multiple locations.

Cycle supports:

• Support for Vultr regions across the globe
• Both stateless and stateful applications
• Hybrid cloud setups that combine on-premises hardware with Vultr's global infrastructure

This is true workload freedom: the right infrastructure, in the right location, all managed through one API or interface.

AI and GPU-Driven Workloads Made Simple

If you're working with AI or machine learning, you know GPU access can make or break your workflow. With Cycle, you can now tap into Vultr's high-performance bare metal GPU lineup, which includes AMD Instinct MI325X and NVIDIA HGX B200 boxes. With Cycle, deploying bare metal is a snap, and that compute lives on the same network as the rest of your compute.

That means you can:

• Train massive AI models at scale
• Fine-tune LLMs for your specific use cases
• Run lightning-fast inference, whether it's in the cloud or at the edge

And because Cycle supports hybrid AI workflows, you're not locked into one setup:

• Burst into the cloud when you need additional power
• Push inference closer to your users at the edge, all with low-latency responses
• Keep sensitive data on-premises with granular controls over SDNs

Need serious bandwidth?

Vultr Direct Connect lets you create dedicated, low-latency, high-throughput links between Vultr and your own infrastructure, whether that's a data center you own or edge gear in the field.

Who Benefits Most

SaaS & PaaS Teams

For software and platform providers, time to market is everything. With Cycle orchestrating Vultr infrastructure, teams can launch new features or entire products without building complex DevOps pipelines from scratch. Automated scaling, updates, and monitoring mean you can spend more time improving your application and less time maintaining the infrastructure that runs it.

Gaming Companies

Latency can make or break the player experience. By deploying game backends on Vultr's global bare metal or VM infrastructure through Cycle, studios can place servers close to players, reducing lag and keeping gameplay smooth. Whether it's a small indie release or a global multiplayer title, scaling to meet demand is just a few clicks away.

AI/ML Engineers

Machine learning projects often need massive GPU resources, and they need them fast. Cycle makes provisioning Vultr's AMD Instinct MI325X and NVIDIA HGX B200 GPUs a matter of minutes, not days. From training large-scale models to running inference in production, you get the performance you need without the overhead of managing GPU clusters manually.

Hybrid Cloud Operators

When organizations run both on-premises and cloud environments, keeping everything connected and secure can be a challenge. Cycle bridges the gap by allowing your organization to manage Vultr's infrastructure alongside your hardware through a single control plane. You get the scalability of the cloud without losing the control and security of on-prem systems.

IoT & Edge Deployments

IoT applications need infrastructure that's close to the action. With Vultr Direct Connect and global points of presence, Cycle users can deploy edge workloads where they're needed most, ensuring low latency and reliable performance. Whether it's smart manufacturing, connected retail, or fleet management, you can roll out and manage distributed environments with ease.

Getting Started with Cycle.io + Vultr

There's no need to retool your stack to try this. If you already deploy containers with Cycle, connecting your Vultr account lets you place workloads in Vultr regions with the same workflows you use today. If you are new to Cycle, the quickest way to see everything working is to link accounts and ship a small service end-to-end.

Steps to get started:

• Sign up for accounts on Cycle.io and Vultr
• Add your Vultr API credentials in Cycle's dashboard
• Provision Vultr servers directly from Cycle's portal or API
• Deploy containers, monitor workloads, and scale on demand

You can start small with a single region, then expand to additional regions when you are ready.
