Data centers consume around 1% of global electricity, and research shows that nearly 70% of CPU resources requested by containers go unused. Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine is built to eliminate this waste. With the smallest infrastructure footprint on the market, low-carbon infrastructure regions, and embedded optimization tools, we help organizations run Kubernetes sustainably from day one.
Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine is designed from the ground up to minimize resource consumption. Unlike traditional Kubernetes installations that require always-on node pools, Cloudfleet dynamically scales infrastructure with customer growth, ensuring that every provisioned resource is actively used. No idle capacity, no wasted energy, no unnecessary cost.
Cloudfleet manages Kubernetes control planes and platform infrastructure on behalf of customers with a focus on operational excellence. Control planes are continuously optimized for the smallest possible footprint while meeting availability SLAs. Infrastructure scales dynamically with customer growth and scales back down when demand drops, so no resources sit idle. This is the core of our platform: delivering reliable Kubernetes at minimal environmental cost.
Cloudfleet regions and customer control planes are hosted in data centers that prioritize carbon-free energy. Our infrastructure providers operate facilities with high carbon-free energy percentages, invest in hourly energy matching programs, and publish transparent carbon intensity data for every region. We select regions with the lowest grid carbon intensity available, and sustainability criteria are a key factor in our infrastructure provider selection process.
Cloudfleet gives customers the right tools to optimize the infrastructure they bring into their clusters. Built-in autoscaling and capacity optimization enable automated provisioning and deprovisioning of worker nodes based on actual workload demand, helping organizations right-size their own capacity continuously without additional tooling or configuration overhead.
Cloudfleet aligns with the CNCF TAG Environmental Sustainability, which advocates for reducing the carbon footprint of cloud native technologies. We follow the TAG’s guidance on sustainable cloud native practices and support the broader ecosystem’s efforts to measure and reduce environmental impact through projects like Kubernetes autoscaling and cloud native observability.
Cloudfleet is built on open source foundations and actively contributes to the cloud native ecosystem. We believe that shared infrastructure knowledge and open collaboration lead to better outcomes for everyone.
Cloudfleet is built on open source projects including Kubernetes, Cilium, and WireGuard. We contribute to the ecosystem through documentation, tutorials, and community engagement, helping organizations adopt cloud native practices effectively.
We maintain open documentation, publish technical tutorials, and share operational best practices. Cloudfleet’s always-free Basic plan gives people from diverse backgrounds easy access to cloud native technologies, helping them learn Kubernetes hands-on and advance their careers without financial barriers.
