Cycle CEO Jake Warner joins Brian Teller on Ship It Weekly to discuss the resurgence of bare metal and private cloud, Kubernetes fatigue, and why opinionated infrastructure platforms are gaining traction with engineering-heavy teams.
Bare metal is making a comeback. Explore why teams are moving beyond hyperscalers and rediscovering control, performance, and data sovereignty—without sacrificing the cloud experience.
Discover how a new wave of 'neocloud' providers—like Vultr, CoreWeave, and Hetzner—are challenging hyperscalers with better pricing, performance, and flexibility, driving a major shift in cloud adoption.
Cycle helps teams run GPUs on any cloud, on-prem, or on bare metal. Discover how organizations are cutting costs, boosting performance, and avoiding lock-in with a portable, observable platform.
A deep dive into how Proxmox and Cycle compare across deployment, infrastructure, networking, operations, and governance and why the choice often comes down to toolkit vs platform.
Explore how Cycle.io and Vultr are redefining hybrid and multicloud orchestration. Learn why bare metal is making a comeback, how GPU-powered workloads are easier than ever, and how a unified control plane lets you deploy, scale, and manage workloads across cloud, on-prem, and edge.
Explore the renewed interest in private cloud infrastructure, why bare metal is gaining traction again, and how Cycle.io enables modern orchestration across cloud, on-prem, and edge environments.
See how Cycle.io lowers total cost of ownership, eliminates operational drag, and hardens security—all while keeping your apps online and your team moving fast.
Explore real-world use cases for solving infrastructure challenges with Cycle's support for bare metal, on-prem, and hybrid environments. Run VMs and containers side-by-side, automate deployment, and integrate with providers like Vultr, Hetzner, and Open Metal—all while avoiding vendor lock-in.
Learn when to choose bare metal over hyperscalers, the real cost of cloud, and why virtualization still matters. Discover how Cycle.io offers a powerful VMware and Kubernetes alternative for hybrid infrastructure.
Cycle's biggest release yet introduces Virtual Providers and support for Virtual Machines—unlocking true hybrid infrastructure and positioning Cycle as a powerful Kubernetes and VMware alternative.
Bare metal cloud is making a major comeback as enterprises demand more performance, control, and cost efficiency from their infrastructure. With the bare metal market projected to grow 4x by 2030, modern platforms like Cycle.io are eliminating complexity and making bare metal deployments as simple as virtual machines—no Kubernetes, no YAML, just seamless infrastructure.

Cycle now runs on two fully isolated control planes (EU and NA) giving teams stronger data sovereignty, lower latency to region-local servers, and timezone-aware updates that land during off-peak hours. This release also makes restart and power-off events more reliable under heavy load by switching them to acknowledgements, and fixes VM hostname resolution so updated hostnames resolve correctly via discovery.
