Focus on innovation, let us handle the rest.
UpCloud’s Managed Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that simplifies the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It automates many of the complex tasks involved in running containers, freeing you to focus on your applications.
Use the tooling you are familiar with to manage your cluster.
UpCloud’s Managed Kubernetes is part of the CNCF’s conformance program. All supported versions are certified.
Power your applications with cloud servers built for Kubernetes & designed for the ever changing demands your workloads.
From developers, for developers.
Unbeatable price-performance.
Our new Developer Plans start at €3 per month!
Streamlined container orchestration
Managed Kubernetes offers built-in support for exposing TCP and HTTP(S) services through UpCloud Managed Load Balancer.
Isolate your workloads by using clusters with only private networking. Configure how to safeguard your sensitive data in transit and at rest.
Your applications stay online and adapt to traffic surges automatically, thanks to built-in Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler integration.
Embrace Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices with seamless integration for popular tools like Terraform, and leverage Crossplane to manage cloud resources across different cloud providers directly from your Kubernetes cluster.
Choose the UpCloud block storage tier that best suits your application’s performance and cost requirements – and use it with your Kubernetes Persistent Volumes through the Container Storage Interface (CSI).
Run Kubernetes data plane on your Private Cloud hosts for maximum performance and workload isolation.
Dive into the world of scalable cloud infrastructure and cloud-native applications.
| Production | Development | |
|---|---|---|
| Use case | Multiple control plane hosts for enhanced high availability and resilience | Single control plane host for cost-effectiveness |
| High availability | ✓ | 𐄂 |
| Recommended capacity | Up to 120 nodes | Up to 30 nodes |
| Pricing | €60 /mo | Free /mo |
| Availability | All locations | All locations |
Data plane is charged by the worker node according to the selected configuration. Worker nodes can be deployed using any available Cloud Server plan – General Purpose, High CPU or High Memory – with the same pricing as a regular Cloud Server.
Recommended capacity is based on average cluster workloads. To ensure optimal performance, please factor in the specific requirements of your workloads, including anticipated growth, resource demands (CPU, memory, storage), and any other services running alongside your Kubernetes clusters.
Check out our tutorial for more information and how create your first Managed Kubernetes cluster.
Clusters can be deployed to any available region, including Private Cloud regions. Both control plane and data plane are deployed on the same region.
Yes, this can be accomplished easily via the Utility network or private SDN network.
See product documentation page on Supported Versions.
With UpCloud Managed Kubernetes, we take care of the entire Kubernetes control plane. This includes:
We manage the core Kubernetes infrastructure, leaving you free to focus on deploying and scaling your applications using the Kubernetes API endpoint of your cluster.
