Kubernetes-as-a-service from our team of experts
Predictable economics
Predictable pricing model that gives you the flexibility to run Kubernetes on VMs, bare-metal or public cloud. Our predictive capacity planning helps you prepare for the future and grow your workloads without any spikes.
Customisable clusters
We work with you to design the Kubernetes you need, anywhere. We deploy it and manage it for you. We will scale it up to accommodate any traffic peaks, just let us know you're adding more nodes! We'll remotely test the hardware and expand your cloud with zero downtime.
Transfer control
Our goal is to accelerate your Kubernetes adoption and help you optimise your operations. On request, we'll give you back the keys when you want to drive. No hidden costs, no lock in. We can even provide training on demand to help get your team upskilled. Once you have control, we provide 24/7 enterprise support for your cloud.
