Cycle.io

The control plane that provisions infrastructure, simplifies deployments, and doesn't demand an ops team.·cycle.io

Cycle is a LowOps container, VM, and function orchestration platform that runs on customer-owned infrastructure (bare metal, on-prem, or multi-cloud). It provides a single control plane for provisioning servers, deploying workloads, networking, storage, and observability, aiming to replace Kubernetes-style complexity with an automated, opinionated alternative. Customers connect their own infrastructure and Cycle's CycleOS handles orchestration, updates, and security, while application data never touches Cycle's own servers.

What it's for

Deploying containers, virtual machines, and functions from one platformRunning distributed applications across bare metal, on-prem, and multi-cloud infrastructureReplacing Kubernetes clusters with a simpler orchestration engineAutomating zero-downtime deployments with rolling/rainbow updatesBuilding multi-region or sovereign private cloudsRunning GPU-powered or AI inference workloadsManaging infrastructure for SaaS/PaaS platforms with native multi-tenancy
