Developer Experience
Since Cyso Cloud is built on OpenStack, it can be accessed via both the OpenStack API and the OpenStack command-line interface (CLI). Cyso Cloud does not (yet) offer its own layer on top of OpenStack, except for the Cyso Cloud Console.
Tutorials and articles to help you get started with Cyso Cloud—such as guides on setting up an Enterprise Managed Kubernetes (EMK) cluster or migrating from another OpenStack-based provider—are available on the Cyso Cloud Documentation page.
Data Centres
At the moment, Cyso Cloud is operating from 3 data centers in two locations: Amsterdam and Frankfurt. Both locations are very popular data center locations with direct backbone access. All US hyperscalers and many European cloud providers are hosting their services in Amsterdam and Frankfurt.

In the Cyso Corporate Social Responsibility statement, Cyso are stating “the ultimate goal of achieving a positive climate effect”. Concrete measures towards this goal are:
- Hardware lifecycle management, where decomissioned hardware is repurposed or donated to educational institutions.
- CO2 neutral fleet of company cars.
There are no statements about energy efficiency of data centres and about the energy sources to power Cyso Cloud.

At the moment (11/2025), Cyso Cloud holds the ISO/IEC 27001 certification, which testifies that Cyso has all the processes in place that have to do with the security, availability and integrity of data and applications.
Building on the ISO/IEC 27001 certification, Cyso Cloud also holds the NEN 7510 certification. This certification was developed by the Dutch Standards Institute for Information security for the healthcare sector in the Netherlands and is based on ISO 27001.

Conclusion
Cyso Cloud is a regional dutch OpenStack based cloud provider. Once the Cloud Databases managed database service is out of beta, the service portfolio encompasses the minimum set of services that should be expected of a cloud provider (compute, Kubernetes, storage, managed databases, and networking).
With its data centres in North Holland and in Frankfurt, Cyso Cloud can fulfill geo-redundancy requirements. The NEN 7510 certification for the Dutch healthcare sector can make Cyso Cloud a good choice for respective Dutch companies.
