You can now create and manage IONOS CLOUD DBaaS PostgreSQL v2 clusters in the Data Center Designer (DCD). The DCD supports the full lifecycle of v2 clusters, including cluster creation, configuration updates, cloning, backup restoration, and metrics monitoring.
As part of this enhancement, new DBaaS PostgreSQL v1 clusters can no longer be created in the DCD. Existing v1 clusters are displayed as Legacy Clusters and support only a limited set of operations.

Nextcloud Workspace now supports up to 300 user seats per instance, up from 200. You can adjust the seat count at any time through the Data Center Designer (DCD).
June 17
FLUX.2-Klein-4B is a compact 4B-parameter text-to-image model by Black Forest Labs, now available in the IONOS CLOUD AI Model Hub. Building on the FLUX architecture, the klein variant is optimised for speed and resource efficiency while maintaining strong visual fidelity. It supports both image generation (/v1/images/generations) and image editing (/v1/images/edits).
June 16
You can create monitoring pipeline instances in the available locations to gather metrics from multiple sources. You may also programmatically manage your monitoring pipelines through the API.
June 16
You can now activate Central Monitoring on your contract directly through the DCD. Previously, this was only possible through the Monitoring API. Central Monitoring is a Monitoring Service capability that integrates with IONOS CLOUD products to surface metrics directly within Grafana. For more information, see activating Central Monitoring through the DCD or the Monitoring API.

The IONOS CLOUD MCP Server is now generally available (GA). It lets AI assistants and autonomous AI agents connect to your IONOS CLOUD account using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI clients to external tools. It provides read-only access to tools across Compute Engine, IONOS CLOUD Object Storage, Cloud DNS, Certificate Manager, Billing, and Activity Log. The server runs locally on your machine and is compatible with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), and any MCP-compatible client. The server is also discoverable on the Official MCP Registry, mcp.so, and the Cursor Directory.
June 8
The IONOS CLOUD DBaaS In-Memory DB v2 API is now in General Availability (GA). The v2 API is available across all nine IONOS CLOUD regions: Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, Logroño, London, Worcester, Las Vegas, Lenexa, and Newark.
Any IONOS CLOUD contract can provision In-Memory DB v2 clusters without prior activation. The v2 API introduces a redesigned resource model, renaming the primary resource from ReplicaSet to Cluster, and adds dedicated Versions and SnapshotLocations endpoints, inline snapshot restore through restoreFromSnapshot, configurable snapshot retention and scheduling, SHA-256 prehashed password credentials, and observability controls (logsEnabled, metricsEnabled). For detailed operational scenarios and examples, see In-Memory DB v2 API Workflows.
Important: The In-Memory DB v1 API will be deprecated in an upcoming release. You must migrate existing v1 clusters to v2 as soon as the DCD supports In-Memory DB v2 cluster creation. Migration guidance will be provided at that time. We recommend creating new clusters using In-Memory DB v2 endpoints to leverage the new capabilities.
June 29
A new how-to guide covers how to deactivate VBS and HVCI on Windows Server 2025 to resolve performance degradation on KVM-based hypervisors. The guide includes step-by-step instructions using Group Policy, Registry, and startup configuration, plus an optional full VM restart via IONOS CLOUD and verification steps.
June 17
A new how-to guide is now available for Image Editing with IONOS CLOUD AI Model Hub. The guide covers how to modify existing images by supplying an input image and a descriptive prompt through the OpenAI-compatible /v1/images/edits endpoint, using FLUX.2-klein-4B as the editing model.
June 16
The Document Collections feature will be decommissioned on August 31, 2026. A guide to retain Document Collections data is available for users who want to preserve their existing data before that date. The guide covers exporting collections through the Document Collections API, provisioning IONOS CLOUD PostgreSQL with pgvector, re-embedding documents using free migration model aliases, and updating applications to query the new vector store. Users who prefer to start fresh can follow the Retrieval Augmented Generation guide instead.
June 10
The documentation for LightOnOCR-2-1B has been corrected. The model accepts image input only and does not process PDF files directly. If you want to extract text from PDF documents, you must first convert each page to an image before sending your API request. For more information, see Extract Text from PDF Documents.
June 9
A new tutorial on how to set up end-to-end observability for IONOS CLOUD PostgreSQL v2 clusters with Grafana is available. The tutorial covers Logging and Monitoring Service activation, dashboard creation using curated CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics, recommended alert thresholds with PromQL examples, and troubleshooting common configuration issues.
June 9
A new tutorial shows how to use the IONOS CLOUD MCP Server and Claude Desktop to audit all your Object Storage buckets in a single conversation. The tutorial covers MCP Server configuration, connection verification, running six security probes per bucket, and generating a CISO-ready HTML posture dashboard, without writing scripts, or opening the DCD.
June 9
A new tutorial is now available that demonstrates how to use the IONOS CLOUD MCP Server and Claude Desktop to map billing data to the FOCUS v1.3 standard schema and generate FinOps-ready cost attribution reports. The tutorial covers MCP Server configuration, loading the FOCUS schema, retrieving usage data, enriching records with prorated cost estimates, and exporting a FOCUS-compliant CSV for cost management tools, including FinOps tooling.
June 1
You can now follow the latest tutorial to stream IONOS CLOUD Activity Log API events to the Logging Service using Fluent Bit. The tutorial covers pipeline setup, Python fetcher configuration, Fluent Bit configuration, and data visualization in Grafana using LogQL.
