UpCloud is a solid European cloud with managed Kubernetes and a useful feature set. But new age teams demand more. Three gaps matter for teams scaling in 2025: no managed Docker, no India region, and egress that comes with a quota clause rather than a clean unlimited line.
Huddle01’s Mumbai region is live and SOC2 compliant.
Teams building applications for Indian users who need DPDPA data residency compliance cannot use UpCloud. Huddle01’s Mumbai region is live, delivers sub-20ms latency across India, and is fully SOC2 compliant. Same dedicated AMD EPYC hardware, same unlimited egress, same pricing model as every other Huddle01 region.
Huddle01 gives unlimited egress. No fine print.
UpCloud egress includes a monthly transfer quota ranging from 1 to 24 TB depending on the plan. Huddle01 Cloud includes 10 Gbps unmetered egress on all plans across all regions. No quota. No throttle clause. No opt-in paid tier. What the pricing page says is what every invoice reflects.
Huddle01 block storage costs 25% of what UpCloud charges.
UpCloud block storage is estimated at approximately $25.63 per month for 100 GB based on published pricing. Huddle01 block storage is priced at $0.0000834 per GB per hour, approximately $6.07 per month for 100 GB. Huddle01 block storage has no storage-tier decision, no retrieval fees, and no minimum allocation.
Managed Docker is already live on Huddle01.
UpCloud offers managed Kubernetes for container orchestration but has no managed Docker service. Huddle01 Managed Docker gives workloads a direct path. No cluster to provision. No control plane to maintain. Available alongside Managed Kubernetes for teams that need both.
1
Virtual machines that scale as required
Every Huddle01 instance runs on dedicated AMD EPYC vCPUs, DDR4 ECC registered memory, and NVMe SSD storage. Anton-2 through Anton-64 scale linearly in both vCPUs and RAM. Deploy the spec your workload needs and move to the next task.
2
Managed Kubernetes in Mumbai, DPDPA-ready out of the box
Kubernetes clusters on Huddle01 are priced at the same per-node rate as standard virtual machines. No control plane fee. No node creation limits. Available in the Mumbai region with full DPDPA compliance and sub-20ms latency across India.
3
Managed Docker. No Kubernetes overhead for simple containers.
Huddle01 Managed Docker is priced on actual resource consumption: $0.0084 per vCPU per hour and $0.00402 per GB per hour. No platform fee. Push your image, configure the service, and it runs. OVHcloud has no equivalent offering.
4
Block storage and load balancers. One price, no volume tiers.
Block storage at $0.0000834/GB/hr. Load balancers include SSL/TLS at no add-on cost. No per-request fees, no storage retrieval penalties. What you see on the pricing page is what shows up on the invoice.
5
Load balancers. SSL/TLS included, no add-on fee.
Huddle01 load balancers include SSL/TLS termination at no additional cost. OVHcloud charges $0.016/hr for its Public Cloud load balancer, with SSL handled separately.
6
AI Inference. Coming soon.
Dedicated AI inference coming soon. It will follow the same lean economics as the rest of the platform: pay for the compute you use, nothing else.
