Easily expose arbitrary block and file storage systems to containerized workloads using the Container Storage Interface (CSI).
Solution for many use cases
The flexibility of Kubernetes
Cloud-native Application development and delivery
Manage your deployments, not Virtual Machines (VMs). Ensure peace of mind with self-healing, horizontal scaling. All components & deployments – such as Helm Charts – are readily available from the community.
Dynamic workloads
Choose between demand or time-based scaling of your environments. Be more efficient with optimised resource usage. Usage examples: e-commerce, gaming, CI/CD.
Machine learning
Run your entire machine-learning workflow in one place by deploying machine-learning models on the cloud. UpCloud’s Managed Kubernetes enables the running of machine-learning workflows in the cloud, improving flexibility and efficiency. Choose the machine learning platform that best suits your needs (such as Kubeflow), with seamless integration into the UpCloud ecosystem.
