Multi-cluster

Enterprise Kubernetes, zero ops.

HA control plane, auto-scaling, and security hardening — all managed.

Managed control plane

HA control plane across 3 availability zones. Automatic etcd backups, API server scaling, and certificate rotation.

Auto-scaling node pools

Scale from zero to thousands of nodes. GPU, Arm, and Spot node pools with custom taints and labels.

Zero-downtime upgrades

Automated rolling upgrades for control plane and nodes. Surge-based rollout with automatic rollback on failure.

Native VPC networking

Pod IPs from your VPC. Network policies, Cilium CNI, and dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support out of the box.

Security hardened

CIS benchmark compliance, workload identity, pod security standards, and binary authorization built in.

GitOps ready

Config Sync for fleet-wide GitOps. Argo CD and Flux integrations for declarative continuous delivery.

Getting started

Launch your first instance in three steps. CLI, console, or API — your choice.

Terminal
ur k8s clusters create my-cluster \
  --region=eu-west1 \
  --node-count=3 \
  --machine-type=n2-standard-4

Built for every K8s workload.

From microservices to ML training — Kubernetes clusters that scale with you.

Microservices platform

Run hundreds of microservices with service mesh, auto-scaling, and canary deployments.
