2 min read

Yesterday, Russia’s largest search engine, Yandex, launched its intelligent public cloud platform named Yandex.Cloud. This intelligent public cloud platform has been tested by more than 50 Russian and international companies since April.

Yandex.Cloud is easy to use and offers flexible pricing with a pay per use pricing model. Also, the platform has an easy access to all the Yandex technologies, which makes it easy for companies to complement an existing IT infrastructure or even serve as an alternative to it. The platform will assist companies and industries of different sizes to boost their efficiency or expand their business without large-scale investment.

Yandex plans to roll the Yandex.Cloud platform slowly, first to its users of Yandex services for business, and then to all by the end of 2018. It enables companies to store and use databases containing personal data in Russia, as required by law.

Features of the ‘Yandex.Cloud’ public cloud platform

A scalable virtual infrastructure

The new intelligent public cloud platform includes a scalable virtual infrastructure having multiple management options. Users can manage from a graphical interface or the command line. It also includes developer tools for popular programming languages such as Python and Go

Automated services

Labour-intensive management tasks of popular databases systems such as PostgreSQL, ClickHouse (Yandex open source high-performance database management system) and MongoDB have been automated.

AI-based Yandex services

Yandex.Cloud includes AI based services such as a SpeechKit speech recognition and synthesis and Yandex.Translate machine translation.

Yan Leshinsky, Head of Yandex.Cloud said, “Yandex has an entire ecosystem of successful products and services that are used by millions of people on a daily basis. Yandex.Cloud provides access to the same infrastructure and technologies that we use to power Yandex services, creating unique opportunities for any business to develop their products and services based on this platform.”
