Dear all,
We are excited to announce the pilot release of the Managed Kubernetes on the EUMETSAT side of EWC.
This service allows tenants to create and manage their own Kubernetes clusters within their tenancy. The Kubernetes control plane is centrally managed by EWC administrators, while dedicated worker nodes are deployed inside each tenant’s environment — ensuring isolation, flexibility, and full control of application workloads.
To request access to the service during the pilot phase, please raise an EWC support ticket.
Documentation and setup instructions are available here.
🧪 Please note: This pilot is part of the validation phase of the Managed Kubernetes Service at EUMETSAT side. Users are encouraged to test the functionality and provide feedback. The cluster management is subject to change as part of the ongoing harmonization of EWC services.
EWC team,
EUMETSAT side of the EWC
We are pleased to announce the availability of new updated images at both ECMWF and EUMETSAT for:
- Rocky Linux 8.10
- Rocky Linux 9.5
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS — which we've just added as a new option
You can already deploy the new images from Morpheus using the usual instance types. There are details on these images on this page: EWC Virtual Images Available
As a general rule, we strongly recommend you always keep your virtual machines up-to-date with the latest security fixes, as highlighted in our Best practices as a Tenant Admin.
As always, if you need any support, please do get in touch with us on the European Weather Cloud Discussion Platform or through the Support Portal.
Kind regards,
The EWC Team

We are pleased to share that the EWC Website now includes a dedicated Service Status page — your go-to resource for real time updates on the operational status of all EWC services.
With this new feature, users can easily:
- Monitor live service availability
- Consult timely notifications about any service disruptions
- Stay informed about scheduled system maintenance
Our goal is to provide greater transparency and enhance your experience by keeping you informed at all times. Whether you're checking system performance or preparing for upcoming maintenance, the Service Status page ensures you’re always in the loop.
You can access the Service Status page directly by clicking on the status summary on the top-right of the EWC Website and find the related documentation in this page.
We hope you find it valuable and encourage you to share any feedback with us via the EWC Support Portal or RocketChat.
Best Regards,
The EWC team
