UKS (UpCloud Kubernetes Service)

Scale Smarter with Managed Kubernetes

UKS (UpCloud Kubernetes Service) is UpCloud’s managed Kubernetes solution, 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, allowing you to focus on your applications.

Automatic Cluster Upgrades

Simpler management and maintenance of your clusters thanks to UKS (UpClouds Kubernetes service). No more manual updates and migrations per cluster!

Simple setup, easy management

Kubernetes can be tough for the best of us. We’ve simplified cluster deployment and management, reducing the expertise required to manage your clusters.

Complimentary control plane

You can focus on your applications while we give you control planes at no additional cost.

Cloud-Native Container Platform

  • Free managed Control Plane: Fine-tuned for UpCloud, making workload deployment a breeze.
  • Integrated with the platform: Utilise Cloud Servers, Load Balancers and Block Storage natively through Kubernetes. Reach other Managed Products through Private Networking.

Powerful Tooling

Use the tooling you are familiar with to manage your cluster:

    • Public API
    • UpCloud CLI tooling
    • Terraform
    • OpenTofu
    • Pulumi
    • Crossplane

CNCF Certified

UpCloud’s Managed Kubernetes is part of the CNCF’s conformance program.
All supported versions are certified.

Key features

Streamlined container orchestration

Load Balancing

Managed Kubernetes offers built-in support for exposing TCP and HTTP(S) services through UpCloud Managed Load Balancer.

Private and Protected

Isolate your workloads by using clusters with only private networking. Configure how to safeguard your sensitive data in transit and at rest.

 

Scalability

Your applications stay online and adapt to traffic surges automatically, thanks to built-in Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler integration.

Powerful Tooling

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.

Flexible Storage Options

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).

Private Cloud

Run Kubernetes data plane on your Private Cloud hosts for maximum performance and workload isolation.

Data plane is charged by the worked 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.
