What's new on Exoscale

Managed MySQL is now available on the Exoscale platform. As with our other DBaaS offerings, Managed MySQL can be easily deployed in our integrated environment and offers:

• End-to-end encryption
• A complete platform integration
• Daily backups
• Seamless switching between plans

Customers can choose between different plans and easily scale up according to their needs.

As a companion to SKS - our managed Kubernetes offering - or for your own standalone clusters or single Docker environments, we are introducing today a Container Registry service from 8Gears.

Built around CNCF graduated project Harbor and powered by 8Gears, the container registry is available as a one click option from the Exoscale Marketplace. The 8Gears Container Registry provides ability to manage, store, sign, and scan container images, Helm Charts, or any other OCI-compliant artefacts with the below benefits:

- Stored on Exoscale Object Storage

- Safely operated by 8Gears in Switzerland

- Simple per GB used pricing, no upfront or recurring cost

This week we released two new courses in our Exoscale Academy:

• SKS Starter
• SKS Advanced

The courses cover the Scaleable Kubernetes Service (SKS) concepts, the essential and extended functions, and the application in modern IT scenarios. Both courses are part of our SKS Foundation path. The corresponding exams will be released within the upcoming weeks to enable users to prove their knowledge of SKS.
