Run UpCloud next to everything else you operate
UpCloud built its reputation on raw compute performance and its own MaxIOPS storage architecture, run out of Finland under EU law. Sencai connects to it the way it connects to ten other providers: one place to see what's running, provision what's next, and prove who touched what — without UpCloud ever leaving your account.
Connect the account you already have
Connecting UpCloud to Sencai doesn't move anything. Your UpCloud account, contract, and invoice stay exactly where they are — Sencai stores the API credentials encrypted at rest, and you can revoke access at UpCloud any time. If you'd rather not run a separate UpCloud invoice at all, Sencai can also provision and bill UpCloud capacity under its own account: one contract, one invoice, UpCloud's own cost passed through plus a 2% margin shown as its own line on the statement. Both models can sit in the same organisation, so a team that starts by connecting an existing UpCloud account can add Sencai-billed capacity later, or the other way round, without re-platforming anything.
See what UpCloud is already running for you
The moment an UpCloud account is connected, Sencai inventories what's actually there — servers, networks, storage (MaxIOPS volumes included), and DNS zones — with no migration step and no agent required to see it. Nothing is pulled under active management automatically: each discovered resource is opt-in, one at a time, so a long-running production server can sit visible in inventory for weeks before anyone decides to manage it through Sencai. For a team that's been running UpCloud manually and lost track of what's actually deployed, this alone turns a guess into a list.
Provision, resize, and keep UpCloud servers patched
Once you opt a resource in, day-to-day operations on UpCloud go through the same workflow as every other connected provider: start, stop, resize, and destroy instances from one screen, no provider-specific console required. Install the fleet agent on any UpCloud Linux instance — or on bare metal sitting next to it — and you get continuous monitoring, patch management, and software inventory, plus approval-gated runbooks: write an incident response once and run it identically whether the box is on UpCloud, Hetzner, or in your own rack. The instance you picked UpCloud for because it needs to perform still gets the same patch cadence as everything else — nothing gets quietly skipped because nobody wanted to touch the fast box. A separate agent covers in-cluster Kubernetes inventory if UpCloud is where your cluster runs.
An audit trail and a cost picture that don't stop at one provider
Every action Sencai takes against UpCloud — a resize, a destroy, a runbook run — lands in the same append-only, hash-chained audit log as every other provider you connect. "Who changed this, and when" becomes a query instead of a support ticket, which is the evidence a NIS2 or customer security review actually asks for. On the cost side, UpCloud spend shows up next to every other connected provider's spend in one FinOps view, with anomaly detection watching for the spike that a single-provider bill would hide until invoice day.
Frequently asked
If I connect our UpCloud account, does Sencai take it over?
No. Connecting is read/write access via API credentials Sencai encrypts at rest — the account, contract, and UpCloud invoice stay yours, and you can revoke Sencai's access at UpCloud at any time. Nothing migrates, and resources only come under active management when you opt them in individually.
Can Sencai bill UpCloud usage instead of us dealing with UpCloud directly?
Yes, as an alternative to connecting your own account. Sencai can provision UpCloud capacity under its own account and bill you directly — UpCloud's cost plus a 2% margin, shown as its own line on your statement, one invoice instead of two. You can mix this with a connected account in the same organisation.
Can I manage UpCloud alongside Hetzner, AWS, or our other providers in one place?
That's the core of it. UpCloud is one of 11 connected providers plus on-premise and bare-metal servers via the fleet agent, and every provider goes through the same inventory, provisioning, audit, and cost workflow inside one organisation.
Does inventory pick up UpCloud's MaxIOPS storage and networking, or just servers?
Inventory covers instances, storage — including MaxIOPS-backed volumes — networks, and DNS zones for any connected UpCloud account, discovered automatically with no migration step. What you actively manage through Sencai from there is opt-in per resource.
Do we need a contract or a sales call to try this with our UpCloud account?
No. There's a free organisation plan (1 user, 1 organisation, 5 managed resources, no time limit, no card required) and a 14-day full-featured trial with no credit card either. Most teams connect an UpCloud account and see their first deploy in under 30 minutes.
