From the Console to Terraform: import your existing Clever Cloud infrastructure as code (IaC)
Nobody starts with Terraform. You create your first application in the Console, add a PostgreSQL database with Clever Tools, then a Redis instance, a Cellar bucket, and a “temporary” staging environment that is about to turn two. One morning, the organisation has forty resources, and nobody can say why the production application runs on two M instances instead of one, or who changed that variable on a Friday evening.
Configure SSO with Keycloak
To configure single sign-on (SSO) with Keycloak, deploy Keycloak as an identity provider, then create a dedicated realm separate from master and a client for each application.
Clever Cloud expands to five availability zones in the Paris region to strengthen infrastructure resilience
With two new locations at ETIX and Telehouse, Clever Cloud continues to expand its distributed infrastructure in the Paris region. This investment strengthens the resilience of its platform and relies on equipment supplied by European manufacturers.
Teach your AI assistant Clever Cloud: the clever-tools skill
Coding assistants can now run commands in your terminal. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or Copilot can create an application, push code, read logs. They still need to know the tools they're using.
What Is the SAML 2.0 Authentication Protocol Used For?
SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an open standard based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) that enables Single Sign-On (SSO) across multiple domains. It delegates authentication to a central identity provider, which sends each application a signed “assertion” proving the user’s identity, without requiring the user to re-enter or share their password with each application.

CKE in public beta: managed, sovereign, and properly integrated Kubernetes
Clever Cloud was founded in 2010. At that point, Docker did not exist, and Kubernetes even less. The problem, however, was already there: running our first customers' applications reliably, in isolation, and predictably.
Cloud modernisation: how to align governance and operations without adding complexity
European organisations are managing increasingly heterogeneous environments: legacy applications, cloud-native services, multi-cloud setups and regulatory constraints are accumulating within information systems rarely designed to handle such diversity.
Clever Cloud launches Clever Kubernetes Engine (CKE) in public beta on April 27, 2026
Previewed at Devoxx starting April 22, CKE is the culmination of two years of R&D built around a complete reimplementation of Kubernetes.
OpenTofu: the open-source Terraform fork — natively supported on Clever Cloud
In August 2023, HashiCorp changed Terraform's license. A few weeks later, OpenTofu
was born under the Linux Foundation. Here's what it means — and how to use it
with the Clever Cloud provider.
When choose a PaaS for a public sector project
