- Migration out
- VM boot disks can be saved as private images and data disks detached; object storage is S3-compatible (s3cmd/s5cmd documented), so data can be copied out with standard S3 tools. Deleting a VM loses its boot disk; machines within a commitment term cannot be deleted.

From the study · assessmentCUDO Compute, in short
What stood out when we read the documents: strengths, weaknesses, who it suits, and what we could not find.
Strengths
- H100 SXM GPU component at 1.79 USD/GPU-hour on demand (VM) and 8x H100 SXM or 8x H100 NVL bare metal at 14.32 USD/hour (1.79 per GPU)
- Per-second usage metering on prepaid credit
- Public, keyless API returns live GPU, vCPU, RAM, disk and IPv4 prices plus free-capacity counts
- Official Terraform provider (CudoVentures/cudo), cudoctl CLI and Python client
- Card and PayPal accepted; minimum top-up 10 USD
- Enterprise catalogue includes B300, GB300 NVL72 and Vera Rubin NVL72 under contract
Weaknesses
- Marketing pricing page shows 'Quote on request' for every GPU; self-serve prices are only visible through the console or API
- GPU prices exclude vCPU, RAM, disk and IPv4, which are metered separately
- Stopped VMs keep billing for all resources; resources are deleted when the credit balance reaches 0
- Only two self-serve data centers (Norway, Sweden) returned by the public API, with small free capacity (4 H100 VM GPUs, 12 A100, 3 L40S at capture time)
- SLA covers committed resources only (99.5%)
- No spot, serverless or managed Kubernetes product
Ideal for
- Teams wanting cheap H100 or L40S capacity in the Nordics with API or Terraform automation
- Enterprises negotiating dedicated Blackwell or Rubin clusters with managed operations
Not published
- Commitment (reserved) prices: the API supports purchasing VM commitments but the public machine-types endpoints only return COMMITMENT_TERM_NONE prices
- Enterprise cluster prices for all 8 pricing-page GPUs and B100: quote only
- 13 GPU models listed by the public gpu-models API (MI300X, A40, A800 PCIe, H200 NVL, H200 SXM, RTX 3080, RTX 4000 SFF Ada, RTX A4000, RTX A4000 Ada, RTX A4500, RTX A5000, RTX A6000, V100) had no machine type or price on 2026-09-29
- they are counted in catalogue_count
- NFS volume prices: authenticated endpoint only
- Egress price: not published
- Crypto payment: not mentioned in the payment methods page
- Identity verification beyond email and billing details: not documented
- HQ city and country, founding year, funding: not stated on the pages read (terms under English law)
- Full list of the '16 ISO-certified data centres' used for enterprise clusters: not published
- SOC 2: home page lists 'SOC 2 Type II' while the About page says 'SOC 2-aligned'
- no report seen
Observations
Pricing page title is 'Commercial models for enterprise AI infrastructure' and lists 8 GPUs, all 'Quote on request'
Each GPU product page shows 'Starting from: Contact us for pricing'
No link to the self-serve console or its prices from the marketing site; the docs still describe the on-demand platform
Footer shows a status indicator ('All Systems Operational')
