## About the product

GoCloud by Metronet is an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform for African enterprises, startups, and developers that need cloud compute, storage, and networking hosted in African regions.

Key capabilities include:
- **Elastic Compute (VMs)** that the website advertises can provision in under 30 seconds, with per-second billing
- **Object and block storage**, including **S3-compatible object storage** and block volumes; the website advertises no egress fees and free snapshots up to 1TB
- **Private networking** features such as **VPCs**, **peering**, **firewall-as-a-service**, and **BGP**, designed to be programmable via API
- **GPU compute** with on-demand **NVIDIA H100 and A100** clusters for AI/ML workloads

Available via **web console** plus developer interfaces including **CLI**, **Terraform**, and a **REST API** (API documentation: https://gocloud.africa/documentation).

Target users include teams building and operating production infrastructure in Africa, such as backend and platform engineers, DevOps teams, and companies running latency-sensitive applications.

Notable for its focus on **African data sovereignty** and local deployment regions (Lagos, Abuja, Nairobi, Accra, Johannesburg listed), with **Naira and USD billing** and an advertised **99.99% uptime SLA**. Pricing and service claims should be confirmed with the provider.
