Introducing n8n LangChain sub-nodes for IONOS Cloud AI Model Hub

April 13

The @ionos-cloud/n8n-nodes-ionos-cloud package now includes two LangChain sub-nodes that integrate IONOS Cloud AI Model Hub directly with n8n's native AI Agent framework:

• IONOS Cloud Chat Model: Connect the AI Model Hub LLMs to n8n's AI Agent to serve as a language model. Attach this sub-node to any AI agent node to use IONOS Cloud-hosted LLMs (such as Meta and Mistral) for reasoning and text generation. The node dynamically retrieves available models from the IONOS Cloud API at runtime.

• IONOS Cloud Embeddings: Connect the AI Model Hub Embeddings to n8n's vector store nodes as an embeddings provider. Attach this sub-node to any vector store node to generate text embeddings through the IONOS Cloud-hosted models. It enables RAG pipelines when combined with n8n's built-in vector store and retriever nodes.

For more information, refer to the n8n Config Management Tool.

Nextcloud Workspace Now Available on IONOS Cloud

April 9

IONOS Cloud now offers Nextcloud Workspace as a managed collaborative platform, deployed across geo-redundant data centers in Germany and the European Union (EU). This release is designed for organizations that require complete EU data sovereignty, GDPR compliance, and protection from extraterritorial data access laws such as the US CLOUD Act. The key capabilities include the following:

• EU data residency: All data is stored and processed exclusively within EU jurisdiction (Germany-based infrastructure).

• Scalable team collaboration: Technical teams can manage file sharing, document collaboration, emails, and access controls at scale without compromising data governance.

• GDPR-ready by default: The architecture is aligned with EU data protection requirements and is suitable for regulated industries.

DBaaS PostgreSQL v2 API Now Available

April 8

The IONOS Cloud DBaaS PostgreSQL v2 API is now available in the Early Access (EA) phase and represents the next evolution of PostgreSQL on IONOS Cloud. It introduces architectural improvements over v1, including region-specific endpoints, a redesigned cluster resource model, dedicated backup location management, and a structured cluster lifecycle workflow. PostgreSQL v2 API remains in EA as development continues for key capabilities, including DCD support. To activate this feature for your account, contact IONOS Cloud Support.

Why use PostgreSQL v2 APIs?

• Reduced latency: The v2 API replaces the single global endpoint with nine region-specific endpoints across Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, so management operations run closer to your data.

• Automation-ready: The v2 API is designed around an Ensure (PUT) pattern for idempotent cluster creates and updates, making it reliable for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and Ansible.

• Geographic backup control: Backup locations are an explicit, first-class resource (/backup-locations), giving you precise control over where your backups are stored for data residency and compliance requirements.

• Simplified provisioning: User credentials and the initial database name are bundled directly into the cluster payload, removing the need for separate /users and /databases endpoint calls after cluster creation.

• Stronger security by default: The v2 API exclusively supports token-based authentication (tokenAuth), removing legacy basic authentication and strengthening the security model.

• Enhanced search and filtering: Every listing endpoint supports robust filtering by state, name, or ID, alongside standardized pagination, making it easier to manage deployments at scale.

Important: The PostgreSQL v1 API will be deprecated in an upcoming release. Existing v1 clusters will be automatically migrated to v2—no user action is required. However, we recommend proactively creating new clusters using PostgreSQL v2 endpoints to leverage the new capabilities fully. For a detailed comparison, see PostgreSQL API Versions.

DCD Support for Cloud GPU VMs

April 7

You can now manage the full lifecycle of Cloud GPU VMs directly within the Data Center Designer (DCD). This integration brings visual orchestration to high-performance compute, allowing you to provision, operate, and delete Cloud GPU VMs, and their associated resources using the DCD:

• Provisioning a Cloud GPU VM: Configure GPU templates, storage, and networking using either the DCD Canvas or Xpress modes.

• Operational Control (Start or Stop): Manage power states for GPU Cloud VMs with integrated Start and Stop functionality.

• Decommissioning: Securely remove GPU VMs from your data center. During deletion, you have the flexible option to either retain or delete associated storage volumes.

Documentation updates

IONOS Private Cloud Documentation Integrated into IONOS Public Cloud Documentation Portal

April 30

The complete IONOS Private Cloud documentation suite has been integrated into the unified IONOS Public Cloud documentation portal. All content, including administration guides and configuration procedures, has been migrated while maintaining the original structure and organization. You can now access the documentation seamlessly alongside the IONOS Public Cloud documentation in a single, unified space.
