New Hyperstack Features

Here's a sneak peek at what's new on Hyperstack:

Region Sustainability Label

We’ve introduced a green leaf icon to highlight regions powered by 100% sustainable energy. If you create an environment in one of these regions, the label will be displayed, making it easier to choose sustainable deployment options.

GenAI Image: DeepSeek R1

You can now deploy VMs with the DeepSeek R1 model pre-installed using our new GenAI image. With the new DeepSeek-R1 image, you can instantly set up OpenWebUI and have DeepSeek-R1 running on your machine- no manual configuration is needed. Simply choose the 'DeepSeek-R1' image from the list in the Hyperstack UI and your environment will be ready to go in no time. Click here to try our new DeepSeek-R1 image!


Advanced Kubernetes API Features

We’ve introduced Hyperstack Kubernetes APIs to simplify cluster creation, management and scaling. These APIs provide greater flexibility and control over your Kubernetes deployments. Learn more here. 

New APIs for Kubernetes Cluster Scaling

Managing cluster resources is now easier with new API endpoints for scaling Kubernetes clusters:

  • Retrieve Cluster Nodes: Get detailed information about all nodes in a specified Kubernetes cluster.

  • Create Cluster Nodes: Add one or more nodes to an existing cluster.

  • Delete Cluster Nodes: Remove nodes when scaling down.

Important Hyperstack Billing Updates

Here's the latest billing and payment updates on Hyperstack:

Stripe Payment Update

As previously communicated on 1 February, sales tax is now being applied to payments for Hyperstack accounts with billing addresses in the UK and Canada, effective 1 April. This update ensures compliance with local tax regulations.

For business customers, sales tax can be reclaimed where applicable, meaning there are no additional operational costs. For more details, learn more here.

Detailed Receipts for Clarity

Every receipt now includes detailed information on taxes and payments for full transparency. You’ll receive them via email and can download them anytime from the Billing section in your Hyperstack account.

Latest Updates on Hyperstack

We’ve made various improvements and fixes on Hyperstack this month:

Documentation Update

We’ve updated the VM features and restrictions documentation to provide clearer information on when Snapshot or Hibernation actions may be unavailable. This ensures better visibility into feature availability for your deployments.

Fixes

  • A bug where public IP addresses were not properly released during VM deletion.
  • An issue where deleting VMs in certain states impacted system stability.
  • A bug that prevented some provisioning profile settings from saving during VM deployment.
  • A bug that caused email addresses to be case-sensitive during login.

Improvements

  • Cluster Stability Enhancements: Improved stability in cluster creation and node scaling, ensuring a smoother Kubernetes experience.
  • Improved Resource Reliability: Resolved rare cases where VMs, Snapshots, and Volumes could get stuck in creating or deleting states.

How to Optimise Cloud Costs for Scaling AI Startups:

Without Compromising Performance

In our latest blog, we explore how AI startups can optimise cloud costs without sacrificing performance. Traditional hyperscalers often come with high GPU costs, rigid pricing and unpredictable billing, making scaling difficult. Hyperstack offers a better alternative with flexible pricing, transparent billing, AI-optimised GPUs, and high-speed networking. Our DevOps-ready tools ensure seamless AI deployment while keeping costs under control. Check out the full blog here.

Upcoming: On-Demand Kubernetes 

On-Demand Kubernetes is coming soon to the Hyperstack platform UI. Get ready for a simpler, more intuitive way to manage your Kubernetes clusters.
