Same tools, smaller bill
kubectl, Helm, Argo CD and your manifests work unchanged. k3s is certified Kubernetes.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes, without running Kubernetes.
We run the control plane of a k3s cluster for you. Your worker nodes are regular Kagen Cloud servers on your private network. Download the kubeconfig and deploy with kubectl, Helm or your CI, the way you already do.
$10 a month + workers

Features
What you get
Managed control plane
We run and update the k3s server. You never SSH into it.

Your kubeconfig
Download it from the portal and use kubectl, Helm or your CI pipeline.
On your private network
Workers reach your databases and storage privately, like your other servers.
Isolated
Your cluster runs on your own servers, separate from every other client.
Standard Kubernetes

Questions
What version of Kubernetes is it?
k3s, a lightweight, certified Kubernetes distribution. The portal shows the exact version when you create a cluster.
How do I reach my apps from the internet?
Connect a web address on your domain to the cluster and our edge puts https in front of it, the same way as for a server.
Can I add workers later?
Yes. Change the count on the cluster's page; new workers join in a few minutes.
Is Kubernetes right for me?
If you're asking, probably not yet. A few apps or a server are simpler and cheaper. Call us and we'll tell you honestly.
