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 teams 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.
Kubernetes 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, 1.36, or 1.37 (default 1.36.4).
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.
How Kubernetes compares
See why teams choose ZSoftly Cloud Platform.
| Capability | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Free egress | Move data in and out of your clusters with no bandwidth penalty — a real cost on EKS, GKE, and AKS. |
| Standard Kubernetes API | No vendor lock-in — your manifests work on any conformant cluster. |
| HA or single-node, your call | Run a lean single control node for dev or HA multi-master for production — no enterprise-tier gate. |
| Sovereign Canadian infrastructure | Data residency without compromise. |
| Real human support | Talk to engineers who know Kubernetes, not chatbots. |
| Transparent CAD pricing | Control plane $99/mo, workers from $41/mo — no per-cluster API surcharges, no surprise egress. |
Use cases for Kubernetes
- Microservices architectures
- CI/CD deployment targets
- Stateful workloads (databases, message queues)
- Multi-tenant SaaS platforms
- Internal tools and application platforms
How Kubernetes works
- 1
Create a cluster
Name it, pick a Kubernetes version, and choose a region in the portal.
- 2
Configure worker nodes
Choose a worker plan and node count.
- 3
Choose your control plane
Single control node for dev, or HA multi-master for production.
- 4
Download your kubeconfig
Export KUBECONFIG and connect with kubectl immediately.
- 5
Deploy workloads
Use kubectl, Helm, or your CI/CD pipeline.
- 6
Enable autoscaling
Set min and max node counts — we handle the rest.
