Cycle recently went through a System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit and we've got the report. It’s an important step in our continuous commitment to data security and system availability. But are we just checking boxes for the sake of boxes or is there more behind it?

Function containers on Cycle have always been the efficient way to run batch jobs and workloads, with far more customization than traditional FaaS or serverless. What they couldn't do was run themselves. Over the past year, team after team told us the same thing: they wanted these functions on a schedule without standing up and babysitting a cron service. As of this release, Cycle fully supports CRON scheduled function containers.

We're thrilled to announce that we've added Cherry Servers, a European infrastructure provider, as another native integration to the Cycle platform. With this integration, Cycle clients have more choice in where, and how, they deploy their applications as Cherry offers a variety of bare metal server configurations across 7 data centers located around the globe. For a more formal announcement, please see our joint press release with Cherry Servers.

Key Takeaways In modern software delivery the pressure to iterate quickly is real. Kubernetes sparked a revolution in container orchestration, and it remains a huge forward step for many teams. But the truth is, adopting Kubernetes is not a guarantee that you'll suddenly move faster or reduce pain. Managing a Kubernetes cluster at scale requires deep expertise, dedicated operations, and often more overhead than many organizations anticipate. This has led many companies to explore Kubernetes alternatives.

Git is decentralized by design, yet most organizations have funneled their entire source of truth (repositories, CI triggers, access control, release tooling) onto one third-party platform that nobody on the team operates or can inspect. That concentration was a fair trade when self-hosting meant adding massive capex overhead, but with modern architectures and platforms, that's no longer the case.

We're thrilled to announce that Cycle's European Control Plane is now live! While a few organizations have been utilizing it over the past month, we're eager to officially open access to all teams. Before diving deeper into the "why," let's clarify what a Cycle Control Plane actually is. If you visit our status page, you'll see a list of the core services powering Cycle. These services include everything from our APIs to our 'factory' build systems.

There have been TWO major kernel vulnerabilities announced this week. Copy-Fail (CVE-2026-31431) was announced on April 30th. Dirty Frag (CVE-2026-43284), also known as 'Copy Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo' announced literally hours ago. Both have already been patched on Cycle, and our users can receive this update simply by restarting their nodes. The Linux patch was released less than an two hours ago, and we're the first to get it to our customers.

It is easier than ever to launch a product from scratch. Today, AI can make your team of two feel like a team of ten almost overnight. Enterprises across the tech industry are completely restructuring engineering teams to double down on AI coding, often incentivizing engineers for the sheer amount of code they push. The AI revolution is incredible. So, you would be crazy not to hop on the vibe coding train right? Well it depends on what exactly you are building.

Sources: G2 reviews, vendor documentation, 2026 market data. Docker's release in 2013 made Linux namespaces and cgroups accessible without deep kernel expertise, and container adoption took off fast. The value was clear: one portable unit with everything the process needs, running consistently across any host. Teams that were previously shipping VMs with bundled OS, runtime, and application code finally had a better option, and they took it.

We are stoked to announce that we have released our very own hosted MCP that allows you to use natural language to interact with and control anything you have running on Cycle.io. Alexander Mattoni, CTO and co-founder of Cycle, shares a few scenarios where the MCP can be useful. With the MCP, Cycle users can communicate with the Cycle platform directly from their preferred AI tool. In minutes, users can provision a new server, deploy an application, or troubleshoot an issue directly from their AI assistant like Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT or Codex.

Cycle teamed up with bare metal service provider Cherry Servers to discuss how rising political tension and controversy involving the United States is pushing many European organisations to take a closer look at where their data is hosted and handled. Many companies have been forced to look into alternative options to ensure their data is not hosted in or accessible by anyone outside of Europe.

Your Infrastructure. Your Cloud. Anywhere. Introducing Virtual Providers—a powerful new way to turn any server or VM into part of your Cycle-managed private cloud. With just a bootable ISO generated from the Cycle platform, you can instantly bring bare metal or virtual machines online—no matter where they live. Cloud, colo, on-prem, edge, or even a server sitting in a closet. Once connected, Cycle handles the provisioning, updates, networking, and orchestration automatically.

Run Anything, Anywhere — Now Including Virtual Machines Cycle just got even more powerful. In this video, we're announcing full support for virtual machine workloads on the Cycle platform. That means containers, functions, and now VMs—running side by side, managed through the same automation, networking, and orchestration engine. Whether it's bare metal in a colo, VMs on a cloud provider, or hardware in a homelab, Cycle brings it all together into one global private cloud.

Cycle was built to be a powerful, security focused container orchestration platform that is a more user friendly alternative to Kubernetes. One way it achieves this is by making complex, yet secure networking easy to achieve. By combining Cycle's private networks, known as environments, with Cloudflare Tunnel, teams can further enhance their network security and reliability.

The developer friendly container platform. Choose your infrastructure provider, import your containers, and let Cycle handle the rest.
Containers have changed the way developers build, deploy, and scale software. Unfortunately, the adoption of containers has also lead to an ever-growing stack of technical debt and responsibilities for teams to manage.
Interested in utilizing containers, on your own infrastructure, without having to deal with the OS, networks, or a container orchestration layer? Welcome to Cycle.
Container Orchestration Meets SaaS:
- Always Up-to-Date: Stop dealing with OS patches and orchestration layer updates; Cycle automatically delivers platform updates to all servers.
- Automate Everything: Deployment pipelines, automatic TLS / SSL certificates, and more. Cycle is there when you need it -- and out of the way when you don’t.
- Bring Your Own Infrastructure: Effortlessly deploy infrastructure from any of our supported providers. Own your data and your applications while we handle the rest.
- Develop Faster: Cycle was built for both experienced developers and new users alike. Manage containers, servers, DNS, and more, all on one platform to save time and resources.
- Built for Teams: From quickly onboarding new members to easily managing user access, Cycle’s portal has everything needed for a team to grow.
- Secure by Default: All services and configurations are secure from the start, reducing the likelihood of mistakes that could lead to a security exploit.
The Developer-Friendly Container Platform.
