Redesign 100+ Services for Cloud.ru

Cloud.ru is the largest cloud provider in Eastern Europe and the #1 vendor on Russia’s IaaS + PaaS market. The portfolio exceeds 100 cloud services running in Tier III data centers, powering GPU‑intensive AI workloads for enterprises and public sector clients. It also operates an 18‑petaflops AI supercomputer (Christofari Neo) dedicated to massive machine‑learning training and inference.

Design challenge: merge four independent platforms (two vendor, two in‑house) into a single user console.

We consolidated all services into a single user console and added cross‑cutting modules: monitoring, billing, and role‑based access control.



We revamped the UX of every service—customer development, friction removal, and migration to a shared design system with tokens and CI/CD pipelines.

I can’t show service screenshots because of NDA restrictions, but here is the list of those most affected by the changes:
