A practical step forward for multicloud users: what's new in the latest LayerOps 1.11 release
In the evolving landscape of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies, operational simplicity and flexibility remain key challenges. Many organizations aim to benefit from infrastructure diversity, data portability, and cost optimization—but face increasing complexity when managing deployments across multiple providers.
The latest LayerOps 1.11 release, recently announced here, brings several notable improvements that reflect this reality.
Load Balancer: Failover
The latest LayerOps release introduces Load Balancer Failover, a new capability designed to strengthen service continuity in multicloud environments. With this feature, you can configure backup load balancers that are not permanently running, but automatically created only when your primary load balancers become unavailable.
Key benefits:
- On-demand failover: Standby load balancers are provisioned dynamically in real time when an outage is detected, reducing idle resource consumption and optimizing costs.
- Cross-provider redundancy: Failover can occur across different cloud providers, protecting your services from a single-provider disruption.
This smart failover system enhances both resilience and efficiency, reinforcing LayerOps’ mission to simplify hybrid and multicloud operations—without compromising on high availability.
Deploy and manage TCP & UDP services, simply (since 1.10)
For teams relying on custom services or protocols beyond HTTP(S), the new TCP & UDP load balancer management feature adds real flexibility. Traditionally, configuring and maintaining such setups across providers has required hands-on expertise, provider-specific workarounds, and careful security design. With this addition, users can now manage those workloads directly through the same environment and benefit from LayerOps' abstraction and automation layers.
FinOps insights where they matter
Another practical highlight of the 1.11 release is the new FinOps dashboard, introduced for premium-tier users. In an era of unpredictable pricing models and hidden cloud costs, understanding how resources are consumed across providers is crucial. This dashboard provides better visibility on compute, storage, and bandwidth usage—making it easier to monitor and optimize expenses in real time, and to align operations with business goals.
Why this matters in a European multicloud context
For organizations looking to diversify their cloud infrastructure while aligning with European sovereignty principles, these enhancements are more than cosmetic. They help reduce dependency on any single provider, improve service resilience, and make multicloud adoption more accessible—even to teams without deep DevOps expertise.
By further reducing the complexity of deployment, routing, and monitoring, LayerOps is moving the needle for companies who want to leverage cloud diversity without adding operational overhead.
