What is Kubernetes Hosting?

Kubernetes Hosting provides fully managed Kubernetes clusters โ€” the CNCF-certified container orchestration platform used by the world's largest companies. We handle the control plane (API server, etcd, scheduler, controller manager), while you manage your workloads (Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, Secrets).

Our managed Kubernetes eliminates the operational complexity of running Kubernetes yourself โ€” no etcd backups, no control plane upgrades, no certificate rotation. We handle all of that, plus security patching, monitoring, and 24/7 alerting. You focus on your applications, not the infrastructure.

Every cluster includes auto-scaling (cluster autoscaler + horizontal pod autoscaler), auto-healing (failed pods are automatically rescheduled), rolling updates with rollback, integrated load balancing, persistent volume management, and a built-in container registry. Deploy via kubectl, Helm charts, or GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux).

Key Features

Everything included with Kubernetes Hosting, ready to use from day one.

Managed Control Plane

We manage the Kubernetes control plane โ€” API server, etcd, scheduler, controllers. No operational overhead, no etcd backups to manage.

Auto-Healing

If a pod or node fails, Kubernetes automatically reschedules workloads to healthy nodes. Self-healing with zero manual intervention.

Auto-Scaling

Cluster Autoscaler adds/removes nodes based on demand. Horizontal Pod Autoscaler scales pods based on CPU/memory/custom metrics.

Rolling Updates & Rollback

Deploy new versions with zero downtime. Rolling updates replace pods gradually. Roll back instantly if something goes wrong.

Helm & GitOps

Deploy via Helm charts, kubectl, or GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Flux). Declarative infrastructure as code with Git as the source of truth.

Ingress & Load Balancing

Built-in ingress controller with SSL termination, path-based routing, and name-based virtual hosting. Automatic load balancer provisioning.

Persistent Volumes

Dynamic persistent volume provisioning with NVMe SSD storage. Stateful workloads (databases) get stable storage that survives pod rescheduling.

Multi-Cluster Support

Run clusters across multiple regions. Federate clusters for global load balancing and disaster recovery.

Use Cases & Examples

Real-world scenarios where Kubernetes Hosting delivers value.

1

Microservices at Enterprise Scale

Run 100+ microservices with independent scaling, rolling updates, and service discovery. Kubernetes handles networking, load balancing, and failure recovery automatically.

Example: A fintech company runs 150 microservices on a 20-node Kubernetes cluster. Each service deploys via Helm, scales independently via HPA, and updates with zero downtime via rolling updates.

2

GitOps CI/CD Pipeline

Use Git as the single source of truth for infrastructure and applications. ArgoCD watches the Git repo and automatically syncs cluster state โ€” every merge deploys to production.

Example: A DevOps team uses ArgoCD with GitOps: developers push Helm charts to Git, ArgoCD detects changes, and automatically deploys to the Kubernetes cluster โ€” fully auditable, fully automated.

3

Batch & Cron Jobs

Run scheduled batch jobs (data pipelines, report generation, ML training) as Kubernetes Jobs and CronJobs. Auto-scaling handles parallelism; failed jobs are automatically retried.

Example: A data team runs nightly ETL as a Kubernetes CronJob with 10 parallel workers. The cluster autoscales to 10 nodes during processing, then scales to 1 node during the day.

Automation Workflow

Auto-Provision Hosting Account

Kubernetes provisioning creates a HostingAccount with cluster metadata. The platform provisions the managed control plane, bootstraps the initial worker nodes, configures the CNI and ingress controller, sets up the container registry integration, and generates kubeconfig credentials โ€” typically in 3โ€“5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between container hosting and Kubernetes?

Container hosting runs individual containers. Kubernetes orchestrates clusters of containers with advanced features: pods, services, auto-scaling, rolling updates, service discovery, and persistent volumes.

Do I need to know Kubernetes to use this?

Basic Kubernetes knowledge is recommended. For teams new to Kubernetes, we offer onboarding sessions and managed add-ons where our SREs handle day-to-day operations.

Can I upgrade Kubernetes versions?

Yes. We offer automated, zero-downtime control plane upgrades. Worker node upgrades are handled with rolling replacement to ensure no workload disruption.

Is the control plane really free?

Yes. You only pay for worker nodes. The managed control plane (API server, etcd, scheduler) is included at no additional cost on every plan.
