Hippius Cloud VS Linode

Hippius Cloud's answer

Hippius Cloud runs its compute on confidential hardware by default. Virtual machines run on AMD SEV-SNP, so memory stays encrypted while they run and nobody outside the machine can see inside, including Hippius, and you can check AMD's signed attestation report yourself. Managed PostgreSQL, managed Kubernetes and GitHub Actions runners run on the same confidential VMs, so the managed services get the same protection. Storage is S3-compatible and encrypted at rest with AES-256, and the CDN and compute sit on the same account and balance.

Hippius Cloud's answer

Choose Hippius Cloud if you want your workloads private and your bill lower than the cloud you're on now. Storage is a drop-in for S3, so the AWS CLI, rclone, boto3 and the AWS SDKs keep working after you change the endpoint, and built-in migration copies your buckets across without touching the source. There are no egress fees on storage, no per-request charges and no minimum object size. VMs bill per second, CDN zones have a spend cap that pauses them at your limit, and storage, CDN and compute all run from one balance.

Hippius Cloud's answer

Developers and small teams who are paying more than they'd like on AWS, Google Cloud, Cloudflare R2 or Backblaze, especially once egress fees add up, and want to move without rewriting their tools. The second group is teams running workloads on sensitive data, such as client records, AI pipelines or internal databases, who want compute where the provider can't look inside the machine.

Hippius Cloud's answer

Hippius started with storage. We built Arion, our own storage engine, and opened it to developers as S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees. Teams storing data with us kept asking for the rest of the stack, so in October 2026 we launched confidential VMs, with managed PostgreSQL, managed Kubernetes and GitHub Actions runners on the same hardware, followed by a CDN that serves files straight from Hippius S3 buckets. Hippius Cloud brings those together on one account.

Hippius Cloud's answer

Compute runs on AMD SEV-SNP confidential virtual machines, with disks that unlock only after remote attestation and are crypto-erased on deletion. Data at rest is encrypted with LUKS2 using AES-256-XTS. Storage runs on Arion, the Hippius storage engine, behind an S3-compatible API that works with the AWS CLI, rclone, boto3 and the AWS SDKs. Managed PostgreSQL, Kubernetes and GitHub Actions runners run on the confidential VMs, and the CDN's firewall filters traffic inside confidential VMs.

Hippius Cloud's answer

Teams using Hippius storage include Vidaio, which cut its S3 storage costs by 50%; Minos, which runs AI genomics on Hippius S3-compatible storage; Ditto, which moved its AI memory storage from Backblaze; and Zapme Social, which runs its social platform on Hippius storage. Each has a published case study on the Hippius blog.
