Choose the best cloud and region for each application from a single platform
Upsun’s Multi-Cloud and Edge capabilities let platform teams choose the cloud provider and region that best fits each application, without changing how they build or operate it.
A consistent platform layer handles provider-specific differences, helping teams meet performance, regulatory, and regional requirements without fragmenting workflows or maintaining custom infrastructure for each provider.
What this enables
Multi-Cloud and Edge on Upsun allow platform engineers and DevOps teams to:
- Select the optimal cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM, etc.) for each project using identical workflows.
- Address data sovereignty by placing workloads in specific geographic regions to comply with local regulations like GDPR or CCPA.
- Optimize performance by choosing regions closest to your end-users to minimize latency.
- Eliminate vendor lock-in by maintaining the ability to move workloads between providers without increasing operational complexity.
- Manage everything via Git, ensuring infrastructure choices are part of your version-controlled platform model.
How it works
A wide selection of infrastructure providers
Upsun runs on top of the world’s leading infrastructure providers, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM, and OVHCloud. Teams choose where their applications and services are deployed based on specific business, technical, or regulatory requirements. The platform abstracts the differences between these providers so your applications behave consistently, regardless of the underlying cloud.
Region-level control
Applications are deployed into specific geographic regions, supporting data residency, latency optimization, and disaster recovery strategies—all without needing separate platform stacks. These regions are defined and managed as part of your platform configuration, not through manual infrastructure setup.
Built-in edge layer
Upsun provides a regional edge proxy and a router with HTTP caching at the entry point to each region. For global edge delivery, use the managed CDN option, which provides 60+ points of presence, and manage cache and routing policies centrally.
What this solves
Vendor lock-in
Relying on a single cloud provider increases risk and limits long-term flexibility. Upsun provides a consistent platform layer that allows teams to host different projects on different providers (or move them as needed) without rewriting applications or deployment pipelines.
Data sovereignty and compliance
Global organizations often face conflicting data laws. Upsun allows you to pin specific applications to regions that meet local legal requirements for data storage and processing, ensuring data sovereignty while maintaining a unified management experience.
Operational sprawl
Companies that have a multi-cloud strategy typically require separate tools and expertise for each provider. Upsun standardizes deployment, scaling, and operations across all supported clouds, so your team only needs to learn one workflow.
Key capabilities
- Broad Provider Support: Choose from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM, and OVHCloud.
- Region-Specific Deployment: Direct traffic and store data in the specific regions that matter most to your business.
- Edge Caching: Default regional edge proxy and router cache, plus an optional managed CDN for global caching.
- Git-Driven Configuration: Manage your infrastructure choices through portable YAML and version-controlled environments.
- Unified Management: Centralized visibility and control via the Upsun CLI, API, and console.
Enterprise considerations
Security and compliance
Security controls are applied consistently across clouds and regions, including TLS by default and project-level activity logs for auditable changes. This includes network isolation, encrypted traffic, and auditable configuration changes.
Governance and visibility
Maintain centralized oversight of where applications are running and how resources are being consumed, supporting cost oversight and internal standards.
Resilience and continuity
Use portable configurations and repeatable workflows to design robust disaster recovery strategies across different providers or regions. Upsun provides the portability to facilitate recovery so you are easily able to build your own automated cross-cloud failover system.
How teams use this in practice
Regulatory deployments
A financial services firm deploys its European customer data on OVHCloud in Germany and its US data on AWS in Virginia to meet strict data residency laws, all while using the same deployment pipeline.
Performance optimization
A SaaS team runs applications in multiple regions with edge caching to deliver consistent performance to users across continents.
Risk mitigation
An enterprise avoids total dependency on one provider by distributing its portfolio of applications across both Azure and AWS, using documented runbooks to restore services during provider-level events.
Get started
Use Multi-Cloud and Edge to run applications where they make the most sense, without adding operational overhead.
