Kubernetes
Standard Kubernetes, fully managed — portable in, portable out.
Overview
A managed Kubernetes control plane on dedicated infrastructure. It is standard, upstream Kubernetes — no forks, no proprietary operators — so what you build here runs anywhere, and your team is never locked to one vendor.
What's included
- Managed control plane — less to operate
- Standard, upstream Kubernetes
- No proprietary operators or lock-in
- Autoscaling and persistent storage
Why choose Kubernetes?
Control plane $99/mo, worker nodes from $41/mo — transparent CAD pricing, with free egress.
Fully managed control plane
We handle upgrades, patches, and availability. You ship containers.
HA or single-node control planes
A single control node for dev, HA multi-master for production.
Cluster autoscaling
Scale worker nodes automatically based on workload demand.
Standard upstream, no lock-in
Open-source Kubernetes on sovereign Canadian infrastructure — your manifests run anywhere.
Core features
Everything you need to build and scale.
HA and single-node control planes
Single control node for dev and staging. HA multi-master for production.
Multiple Kubernetes versions
Choose 1.34, 1.35, or 1.36 (current 1.36.1).
Built-in load balancing and ingress
Expose services with type LoadBalancer and ingress (NGINX, Istio).
Self-healing
Failed containers restart automatically.
Persistent storage
Attach NVMe block-storage volumes to stateful workloads via CSI.
Standard kubectl and API access
No proprietary wrappers — your manifests and Helm charts work everywhere.
SSH access to nodes
Full access to worker nodes when you need it.
