OVHcloud WAF (OWAF) · ALPHA

OVHcloud WAF — OWASP protection on our own infrastructure

Now in alpha, OVHcloud WAF is a managed service that puts a proven OWASP Core Rule Set 4.x engine directly in the customer's traffic path. Every HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 request — headers, body, URI, cookies, query parameters — is inspected and scored, with a live stats dashboard refreshing every 15 seconds and TLS certificates created and renewed automatically. Out-of-the-box protection against injections, malicious scripts, credential theft, bots and application-layer DoS — no per-request billing, and every log and rule stays on our own infrastructure.

Key Management Service · New feature

KMS on HSM — hardware-backed key custody, one checkbox

KMS on HSM adds a hardware-backed storage option to your KMS keys. At creation, choose a fully mutualized, OVHcloud-administered Hardware Security Module instead of the standard software security module — same API, same IAM, same logs, no new console and no HSM operations on your side. It's a checkbox, not a project: full behavioral parity with SSM-backed keys, built to satisfy audit and certification requirements for hardware-backed custody. New regions are on the way, with worldwide coverage targeted by end of FY27.

OVHcloud Connect · 🇩🇪 Frankfurt · 2nd PoP · Jul 30

OVHcloud Connect — second Frankfurt PoP now live

A second Frankfurt Point of Presence — Digital Realty FRA15 — is available as of July 30th, 2026. The addition strengthens resilience, availability and performance for private connections into OVHcloud, making it easier to design redundant, multi-region architectures with secure, low-latency links for business-critical workloads.

OPCP · On-Prem Cloud Platform · Certified

Scality RING — first partner certified on OPCP Core

Scality RING object storage is now certified to run on OPCP (On-Prem Cloud Platform) — the first partner in the new OPCP Solution Certification Program. OVHcloud and Scality validate the combination together and commit to long-term cross-compatibility, so object storage sits on the same platform as the rest of a customer's workloads, including on-site and air-gapped environments. BYOL and OVHcloud passthrough licence reselling are both supported.

Managed Databases & Analytics · 🇦🇺 Sydney · Now live

Managed Databases & Analytics — now in Sydney

All Public Cloud Databases and Analytics engines are now available in the Sydney region — PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Valkey, Kafka, OpenSearch and Grafana dashboards — a milestone that brings the full Public Cloud portfolio to Australia. A new Gen 3 instance range (Discovery/Production/Advanced) delivers improved performance and resilience, while Gen 2 remains available, and the region enables local Disaster Recovery designs.

Backup Center · Public Cloud · Alpha · Sep 24

Backup Center — one console for Public Cloud backups

Backup Center entered alpha on September 24th: a single tool to configure, monitor and restore backups for OVHcloud Public Cloud resources, natively integrated into the Manager and APIs. Built on Plakar's open-source engine, it starts with Managed Kubernetes — which until now had no native backup solution — with a health dashboard for every job and single-resource restore in a few clicks. Free during the alpha, which runs until late November 2026.
