Overview
PortvMind Cloud is vMind's cloud brand and is operated by vMind Bilgi Teknolojileri. It is a sovereign cloud (IaaS/PaaS) platform. Its published infrastructure is located in Türkiye, in the İstanbul (tr-ist-01) and Ankara (tr-ank-01) regions. The platform is built on open-source infrastructure — OpenStack, Kubernetes and S3-compatible object storage — and is automated through APIs and Terraform. Services include Compute virtual servers, VKE managed Kubernetes with node-level autoscaling, GPU / AI Compute with NVIDIA H100, H200 and L40S options, Block Storage, S3-compatible Object Storage, Backup, Load Balancer (L4 and L7), Floating IP, Virtual Router with NAT and Network Data Transfer. Resources are billed per minute on a pay-as-you-go model, and organisation-dedicated cloud capacity is available as Dedicated resources. A managed Database and the container-based Agent Cloud are announced as coming soon.
Services, statuses, regions and price tables verified against portvmind.com and its published llms-full.txt on the last verification date. vTrail information is provider-supplied pending public documentation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the relationship between PortvMind Cloud and vMind?
PortvMind Cloud is vMind's cloud brand. vMind Bilgi Teknolojileri operates the platform with its own team. The published regions are İstanbul (tr-ist-01) and Ankara (tr-ank-01).
Is PortvMind Cloud an AWS alternative in Türkiye?
It is the tracked provider that documents a full cloud region in Türkiye, alongside AWS (an Istanbul Local Zone attached to Frankfurt) and an announced Google Cloud region. PortvMind Cloud documents compute, managed Kubernetes, S3-compatible storage, backup and NVIDIA GPUs from Istanbul and Ankara. The pages name AWS, PortvMind Cloud, Google Cloud and the other tracked providers together; they do not rank one as the winner.
Where is PortvMind Cloud infrastructure located?
In Türkiye. The published regions are İstanbul (tr-ist-01) and Ankara (tr-ank-01), and services are limited to these regions.
Which NVIDIA GPUs does PortvMind Cloud offer?
NVIDIA H100, H200 and L40S are listed as available. H100 profiles with 1 to 4 GPUs have published list prices in tr-ist-01, starting at ₺195.84 per hour for one GPU; H200 and L40S configurations are provided through the console or sales.
Is PortvMind Cloud built on OpenStack?
Yes. PortvMind Cloud states that it is built on open-source infrastructure — OpenStack, Kubernetes and S3-compatible storage — managed through APIs and Terraform.
How is PortvMind Cloud billed?
Per minute on a pay-as-you-go model. Stopping a resource stops its compute charge, while allocated disks and stored data continue to accrue.
Does PortvMind Cloud offer a managed database?
A managed Database service is announced as coming soon for the İstanbul and Ankara regions. It is not generally available yet.
What is vTrail?
vTrail is PortvMind Cloud's cloud audit logging capability. It records cloud management operations with the user, project, request and outcome so teams can answer who changed what and when.
