Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about firstcloud as a sovereign cloud. If you have more questions, we are happy to help personally.
Sovereign cloud means your data is stored and processed exclusively in German data centers under German and European law. Open source software allows us to retain full control over the technology we use. This means we have no dependencies on proprietary software vendors and can ensure our solutions are transparent and adaptable.
firstcloud is a product from firstcolo — a German company with its own data centers in Frankfurt am Main. Digital sovereignty is not optional — it is a strategic necessity.
Because firstcloud is based on OpenStack, all common tools work without proprietary adaptations: Terraform configurations can often be reused directly, and OpenStack CLI and Ansible are natively supported. Our experienced cloud architects and cloud engineers support you from analysis and design through ongoing operations.
With pay-as-you-go, firstcloud offers a transparent and flexible pricing model based on actual resource consumption. Unlike hyperscalers, which often have complex and opaque pricing structures, firstcloud enables clear cost control and avoids hidden fees.
By using open source software and optimizing our infrastructure, we can offer competitive prices without compromising performance or security. For predictable loads and longer-term commitments, we offer attractive discounts of up to 30% depending on contract term.
With firstkube, we offer a Kubernetes management platform in three tiers. Clusters can be provisioned in minutes, are multi-cloud capable, and support horizontal and vertical auto-scaling. Our experienced cloud architects and cloud engineers support you in planning, implementing, and maintaining your Kubernetes environment.
Learn more on our firstkube product page.
As a specialized provider, we take over operation, security, and maintenance of your cloud configuration — including adjustments and scaling where needed. Our cloud architects and cloud engineers align their work with ITIL guidance to ensure structured and efficient service delivery.
We provide tailored solutions matched to your individual requirements and help you unlock the full potential of your cloud infrastructure.
