Dear Octopus Cloud Community,

Spring is in full swing — and so is Octopus Cloud. This edition brings you exciting product news, two events to add to your calendar straight away, and a look back at a fantastic week at CloudFest. Let's dive in!

Save the Date: Octopus Cloud SPLA Community Event — Zurich, 19 May

We're bringing the SPLA community together for an exciting in-person event this May! Join fellow SPLA professionals, partners, and experts in the beautiful city of Zurich for a day of knowledge sharing, live demos, and real conversations about the challenges and opportunities shaping SPLA licensing today.

Expect insightful sessions, hands-on discussions, and the chance to connect with like-minded professionals who are navigating the same licensing landscape as you. More details on the agenda and registration are coming soon — block your calendar now!

Coming Soon: The ELP Module — Be Audit-Ready, Always

We're excited to announce that the Effective License Position (ELP) Module is coming to Octopus Cloud. Designed with audit readiness at its core, this powerful new feature gives you a clear, real-time view of your license position — so you can eliminate historical shortfalls, recover overpayments, and walk into your next audit with complete confidence.
