OUTSCALE Expands Its Kubernetes Platform
- OUTSCALE has introduced major enhancements to its managed Kubernetes service, adding autoscaling and GPU support to strengthen cloud‑native and AI workloads.
- The platform now offers faster orchestration and improved resource management while maintaining strict isolation within a SecNumCloud‑qualified environment.
- These updates position OKS as a strategic tool for organizations pursuing sovereign AI initiatives.
Enhanced Capabilities for Cloud‑Native Growth
OUTSCALE announced a significant update to its Kubernetes as a Service platform eight months after its initial launch. The new autoscaling feature allows OKS to automatically adjust computing resources based on real‑time application demands. This improvement supports continuous performance, more efficient resource allocation and simplified management of cloud‑native environments. It also helps teams handle demanding AI workloads without compromising security or availability.
The platform’s orchestration layer has been refined to deliver smoother and more reliable operations. DevOps and AI teams benefit from a system capable of absorbing large fluctuations in workload while maintaining predictable behavior. These enhancements reflect OUTSCALE’s focus on supporting a wide range of use cases as organizations scale their digital infrastructure. The company positions OKS as a flexible foundation for modern application development.
Strengthening Sovereign AI Infrastructure
Support for next‑generation GPUs is a central part of the update. OKS runs on OUTSCALE’s managed Kubernetes environment, which is deployed on the only public cloud to hold ANSSI’s SecNumCloud qualification. This combination creates a secure foundation for sovereign AI projects that require strict control over data and technology. The platform’s dedicated‑cluster architecture ensures full isolation, giving organizations an end‑to‑end controlled environment for sensitive workloads.
The integration of advanced GPUs enables faster and more complex AI processing. OUTSCALE highlights this capability as a key differentiator for customers building high‑performance AI systems. Sovereign AI initiatives often require infrastructure that avoids external dependencies while maintaining strong security guarantees. OKS aims to meet these requirements by combining performance, isolation and compliance in a single managed service.
Secure Deployment and Operational Sovereignty
OKS is deployed on OUTSCALE’s SecNumCloud‑qualified public cloud, offering a high level of trust for both public‑ and private‑sector organizations. Each customer receives a fully dedicated Kubernetes cluster with its own control plane, ensuring no resource sharing with other tenants. Open standards are used throughout the platform to maintain interoperability and reversibility. This approach helps organizations preserve sovereignty while retaining flexibility in their cloud strategies.
Thibaud Piétri, VP of Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Services at OUTSCALE, said the expansion reflects the company’s ambition to support demanding AI projects with a sovereign Kubernetes platform. He emphasized that autoscaling and GPU access streamline AI workflows while maintaining strong security guarantees. The update reinforces OUTSCALE’s commitment to providing infrastructure that aligns with the needs of software‑defined and data‑sensitive environments. The company continues to position itself as a trusted operator for organizations seeking full control over their digital assets.
SecNumCloud is one of the strictest cloud security certifications in Europe, created by ANSSI to ensure strong protection for sensitive data. Only a small number of providers have achieved this qualification, making OUTSCALE’s platform notable within the European cloud ecosystem. The growing emphasis on sovereign AI reflects broader trends in data governance, where governments and enterprises seek to reduce reliance on non‑European infrastructure. As AI workloads become more complex, platforms combining compliance, performance and isolation are expected to play an increasingly central role.
