The technology market has evolved towards cloud models that simplify infrastructure management and accelerate service delivery. Increasingly, companies—especially those with dynamic and agile environments—are choosing SaaS platforms to manage and protect their applications.
With over a decade of experience developing high-availability solutions for on-premise environments, at SKUDONET we’ve taken the next step by launching SkudoCloud: our SaaS platform for cloud load balancing and traffic protection, designed for modern and demanding environments.
A Powerful Solution Ready in Minutes
SkudoCloud enables you to balance and protect your application traffic in the cloud without the need to configure servers or perform complex installations. It’s a flexible platform built for today’s environments, allowing you to deploy an instance in minutes with everything necessary to deliver your online services efficiently and securely.
It’s designed for those seeking a straightforward solution, with no fine print, and immediate access to essential observability, control, and protection features.
Key Features of SkudoCloud
SKUDONET’s SaaS model is built for maximum agility and simplicity. You can deploy your load balancer within minutes, without long-term commitments. Pay only for the plan you choose, with complete transparency. Automatic updates ensure you’re always running the latest version without any maintenance effort.
To facilitate collaboration, the platform allows granular role-based permissions, specific user and team access controls, and visibility management by machine or plan. All of this is handled through an intuitive dashboard that supports multiple languages.
Additionally, you can monitor your service status in real time via centralized metrics and logs. Automatic backups provide an extra layer of operational continuity and peace of mind.
Feature Highlights:
- Multi-layer traffic load balancing (L4 and L7) with advanced algorithms such as round robin, hashing, and active connections
- Health monitoring with customizable health checks and session persistence
- Intuitive web interface for configuration, management, and monitoring

Integrated Security from the Edge
SkudoCloud stands out not only for fast deployment and ease of use but also for its comprehensive security and control approach. By combining load balancing technology with advanced protection features, SkudoCloud secures your services right at the edge—before traffic reaches your infrastructure.
Our SaaS solution unifies critical services into a single platform, including a customizable WAF, bot protection, DDoS mitigation, deep traffic inspection (IPDS), and TLS/SSL inspection. From a single web console, you can apply custom policies and adapt OWASP rules to fit your application needs.
SkudoCloud also simplifies certificate management with automatic integration with Let’s Encrypt, including support for wildcard certificates. Thanks to integrated TLS/SSL inspection, you can enforce security policies without losing visibility of encrypted traffic.
Security Features:
- WAF with customizable OWASP rules
- Protection against bots and malicious automation
- Active DDoS attack mitigation
- Deep traffic inspection (IPDS) with blacklist updates
- TLS/SSL inspection to maintain visibility even for encrypted traffic
- Automated certificate management with Let’s Encrypt integration, including wildcard support
This comprehensive security approach lets you tailor protection to the real context of each service, without needing additional infrastructure or sacrificing performance.
How Subscription Works
There’s no fine print with SkudoCloud. The subscription model is straightforward and as flexible as the product: you pay only for what you use. You can activate or deactivate instances whenever needed. Billing is proportional to the time an instance was active within the month, with no penalties or minimum fees.
To ensure the best latency and availability, you can deploy your instances in any of our 12 datacenters worldwide.
Each instance is based on a fixed plan with defined resources and capacities, guaranteeing cost clarity and consistent performance.
Scaling up within the same instance isn’t supported; if you need more resources, you simply create a new instance with a higher-tier plan.
Plans start at €25/month and differ based on:
- vCPU, RAM, and storage
- Monthly traffic limit
- Number of available snapshots
- Maximum configurable farms
- Intrusion Prevention and Detection System activation
Deployment in Less Than 5 Minutes
Just log in to your account, choose a region and a plan, and in under five minutes your load balancer will be up and running in the cloud, fully configured with all services ready to go. No advanced knowledge or prior setup is required.
