Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

API tokens

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

API tokens authenticate requests to the Cloudfleet API. They give programmatic access to the Cloudfleet API and CFKE clusters, for example from scripts or CI pipelines. A token consists of an access token ID and a secret.

TextCortex scales AI knowledge base software with Cloudfleet

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 10:00:00 -0700

TextCortex is a leading European Generative AI platform helping organizations transform scattered knowledge into actionable intelligence.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet supports Single Sign-On (SSO) for organizations. With SSO, your organization’s identity provider authenticates users in Cloudfleet. Cloudfleet supports SAML 2.0 and OIDC as SSO protocols.

Billing and pricing

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

You manage your payment settings in the Cloudfleet Console. To open them, go to the payment settings page.

Billing cycle

Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) plans are billed monthly. Each plan has a flat monthly base fee that includes a set number of vCPUs, plus a per-vCPU fee for usage above that allotment. Billing cycles follow the calendar month. Cloudfleet issues each invoice on the 1st of the month for the previous month’s usage. If you start mid-month, your first invoice covers only the days since you started.

BaseJump scales global gaming infrastructure with Cloudfleet

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 10:00:00 -0700

Today, billions of people use in-game assets every day across multiple games, virtual worlds, and even as filters on social networks. This number is set to grow rapidly as innovations in AI and platforms like BaseJump make it possible to create games and assets instantly using generative AI. BaseJump is building a new generation of player-owned games and interoperable assets powered by decentralized infrastructure.

Pods stuck in Pending

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

When you deploy a workload and no suitable node exists, Cloudfleet’s node auto-provisioner creates one. This normally takes 2-4 minutes. If your Pods stay in Pending longer than that, work through this checklist from top to bottom. Each step matches a failure mode we see regularly in support tickets.

Support tickets

Wed, 13 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Use support tickets to reach the Cloudfleet team about product questions, billing, or technical issues that the documentation does not cover. Tickets belong to your organization. Every member of your organization can see, reply to, and close any ticket in your account.

Cannot reach the cluster API

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Use this page when kubectl cannot connect to your cluster’s API server, or when the Cloudfleet Console reports the cluster as unavailable.

Self-managed nodes

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

For supported cloud providers (AWS, GCP, and Hetzner Cloud), Cloudfleet provides node auto-provisioning. Node auto-provisioning creates and manages compute nodes based on your workload requirements. For on-premises infrastructure and other cloud providers, you provision compute nodes manually and register them with Cloudfleet. This guide explains how to add self-managed nodes to your CFKE cluster.

Storage overview

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) runs the block storage of each cloud in your Fleet: Amazon EBS on AWS, Persistent Disk on GCP, and Volumes on Hetzner Cloud. You install the cloud provider’s Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver, and CFKE takes care of the rest. Pods land in the zone of their volume, and volumes follow their Pods when nodes are replaced.

Restrict access to internal apps and staging environments

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0700

Every cluster accumulates services that were never meant for the public internet: a staging copy of the product, an internal admin panel, a metrics dashboard, a queue console, the preview environment for a pull request. They get an Ingress and a hostname because that is the convenient way to share them, and then they sit there, reachable by anyone who finds the URL.

Kata Containers

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Kata Containers give your Pods the workload isolation and security of virtual machines, and stay as light and fast as containers. Each sandboxed Pod runs inside its own lightweight VM with a dedicated guest kernel. Even a full container escape stops at a hardware virtualization boundary instead of reaching the node and every other workload on it.

What is Cloudfleet?

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet’s mission is to transform infrastructure management with automated, scalable solutions that unify resources across datacenters, clouds, and edge environments. We aim to provide just-in-time infrastructure, automated upgrades, and advanced permissions management, all through a single interface.

GitHub Actions

Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This guide explains how to access a Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) cluster from GitHub Actions with OpenID Connect (OIDC) workload identity federation. The workflow requests a short-lived OIDC token at runtime. The cluster trusts that token directly, and kubectl authenticates as the workflow itself. You do not store API keys, kubeconfigs, or service-account secrets in GitHub.

Overview

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet Container Registry (CFCR) is a fully managed OCI-compliant registry for storing, sharing, and managing container images. CFCR runs on Cloudfleet’s highly available infrastructure, so you have no scaling work or operational overhead. The registry is included with your Cloudfleet organization and needs no additional provisioning.

Fleets

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Fleets automatically add or remove nodes in your Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) cluster as your workload demands change. CFKE lets you deploy, run, and monitor applications in your own cloud provider account using a unified Kubernetes cluster. You can use your existing discounts and credits and avoid vendor lock-in. CFKE automatically selects optimal instance types and runs workloads in your account. When needed, it bursts to other providers.

Introduction

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Cloudfleet Terraform provider lets you manage your entire Kubernetes infrastructure stack as code. The stack includes clusters and multi-cloud Fleets for node auto-provisioning. It also includes self-managed nodes on any platform. On AWS, on-premises VMware, or a dozen different cloud providers, you manage everything through consistent Terraform resources.

Expose HTTP applications with NGINX Ingress

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0700

When you deploy HTTP applications in Kubernetes, you need a way to expose them to the internet with proper routing, domain names, and secure connections. While Cloudfleet provides robust L4 (TCP/UDP) load balancing out of the box through LoadBalancer services, HTTP applications require L7 routing capabilities like host-based routing, path-based routing, and TLS termination.

Networking architecture

Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Kubernetes networking can be complex, but its networking model simplifies it: each Pod gets its own IP address. Containers within a Pod share the same IP, so Pods in a cluster communicate without NAT. Pods reach each other directly by IP address, which makes networking within the cluster easier to manage.

Handle single-platform container images

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

With node auto-provisioning and Fleets, Cloudfleet always picks the cheapest available node to run your container. Many cloud providers offer ARM architecture nodes, which often cost less than amd64 nodes. However, before scheduling a node, Cloudfleet does not know if your container image supports only one architecture. If your image is only available for amd64 and Cloudfleet provisions an ARM node, your container does not run on that node. The result is a crash loop.

Install and Configure Istio service mesh

Fri, 29 May 2026 00:00:00 -0700

In the world of microservices, managing the complexities of service-to-service communication, security, and observability can be a significant challenge. Understanding your cluster’s networking architecture is key to making the most of a service mesh. This is where Istio, an open-source service mesh, comes in. Istio provides a transparent and language-independent way to connect, secure, control, and observe services.

Node auto-provisioning

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

CFKE manages infrastructure provisioning for you. You don’t need to create and right-size compute nodes, delete unused ones, or manage upgrades. Cloudfleet has a built-in node auto-provisioner that calculates the optimal number and size of nodes for the current workload. You can focus on your applications instead of the infrastructure.

Network connectivity issues

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

CFKE connects nodes across clouds and regions with an encrypted overlay network powered by Cilium. This page covers the in-cluster networking problems we most often see in support tickets and how to resolve them. For policy examples and how to trace dropped traffic with Hubble, see Network policies.

Deploy a Prometheus monitoring stack on Kubernetes

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0700

“Install Prometheus” sounds like one decision. It is closer to four: how metrics get collected, where they are stored, what draws the graphs, and what wakes someone up. The Prometheus ecosystem offers a different project for each layer, which is why the same question gets a dozen different answers.

Resource monitoring and Pod autoscaling

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Managing application resources well is critical for performance, stability, and cost-efficiency. Cloudfleet provides two tools for this: the kubectl top command for real-time resource monitoring, and Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA). HPA is a standard Kubernetes feature that automatically adjusts your application’s scale to meet demand.

Load balancer issues

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

CFKE provisions a cloud load balancer for every Service of type LoadBalancer, in each provider and region where matching nodes run. This page covers the recurring problems around those load balancers. For the full feature reference, see Public cloud load balancing.

Network security

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) secures cluster networking in layers. Cloudfleet manages some layers for you, such as encryption between nodes. You control other layers, such as the network policies that decide which workloads can talk to each other. This page explains what CFKE secures by default, which policy types are available, and which one to use for each goal.

How Cloudfleet provisions nodes

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If you come from traditional Kubernetes, you probably know node pools and cluster autoscaling. Cloudfleet takes a different approach that removes upfront capacity planning. This guide explains both provisioning models and the key differences, and helps you choose the right approach for your infrastructure.

Concepts

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This topic describes the key concepts of Cloudfleet Container Registry (CFCR).

Images

An image is a read-only template with instructions to create a container. An image includes the application code, runtime, libraries, and dependencies that your application needs to run. CFCR stores images that comply with Open Container Initiative specifications, including Docker images in the Docker Image Manifest V2 Schema 2 format.

Network policies

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Network policies act as firewall rules for Pods. By default, every Pod in a Kubernetes cluster can reach every other Pod and any external address. With network policies, you define which traffic to allow. Cilium drops everything else.

Control plane pressure and API throttling

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Kubernetes API server protects itself under load with API Priority and Fairness. It queues requests per flow and rejects them when queues overflow. On CFKE, the most common source of control plane pressure is platform tooling, not application traffic:

Self-managed node issues

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Self-managed nodes let you join any Linux server to a CFKE cluster. Unlike auto-provisioned nodes, you own the machine, its operating system, and its network. This page covers the failures we see most often and the responsibility boundary between you and Cloudfleet. For setup, see Self-managed nodes.

Public cloud load balancing

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This page describes Kubernetes Services and their use in Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE). Kubernetes has different types of Services, which group a set of Pod endpoints into a single resource. Before you read this page, read the Kubernetes documentation on Services. Also read the CFKE networking architecture to understand how nodes communicate across clouds and regions. To diagnose problems with existing load balancers, see Load balancer issues.

Amazon EBS

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Amazon EBS CSI driver provisions EBS volumes for Pods on the AWS nodes of your Fleet. The driver authenticates with an IAM role that trusts your cluster’s OIDC tokens. You store no AWS access keys in the cluster.

Resources

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

With the Terraform resources in the Cloudfleet provider, you define and manage your infrastructure as code. You can create and configure Kubernetes clusters and set up multi-cloud Fleets with node auto-provisioning. You can also generate node join instructions for any environment, including on-premises and unsupported clouds. Use them to provision and scale Cloudfleet environments consistently and repeatably.

Store Kubernetes secrets in Git with Sealed Secrets

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0700

Most of a Kubernetes deployment lives in Git. Deployments, Services and ConfigMaps are versioned, reviewed and applied the same way every time. Secrets are the exception: they get set up out of band by whoever built the environment, and the repository ends up describing a cluster it cannot actually rebuild.

Agent Sandbox

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Agent Sandbox is a Kubernetes-native way to run large numbers of isolated, single-tenant sandboxes for AI agents and untrusted code. It gives you the same capability as hosted products like E2B and GKE Agent Sandbox, but on your own Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) cluster, across any cloud or on-premises. Your data and your compute stay inside your infrastructure.

Getting started

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This guide shows new users the first steps with the Cloudfleet platform. You create an organization, launch a cluster, connect a cloud account, and deploy and expose your first application.

Kubernetes API server quotas

Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

To keep your cluster healthy and predictable, the Cloudfleet Kubernetes API server enforces two quotas: a per-object size limit and an overall data store size limit. Both quotas protect the control plane from runaway growth, which can make a cluster slow, unstable, or impossible to recover.

GitLab CI

Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This guide explains how to access a Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) cluster from GitLab CI/CD jobs with OpenID Connect (OIDC) workload identity federation. The job requests a short-lived OIDC ID token at runtime. The cluster trusts that token directly, and kubectl authenticates as the job itself. You do not store API keys, kubeconfigs, or service-account secrets as GitLab variables.

Fleet constraints

Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Fleet constraints let you narrow the set of infrastructure a Fleet can provision. Instead of accepting every cloud, region, and instance type that the underlying provider offers, you pin a Fleet to a specific subset. Node auto-provisioning then considers only that subset when it picks nodes for your workloads.

Getting started

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This guide walks you through pushing your first container image to Cloudfleet Container Registry (CFCR) and deploying it to a CFKE cluster. There is no registry to create or configure. You push an image, and CFCR stores it.

Cluster types

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) offers three types of clusters: Basic, Pro, and Enterprise. Each cluster type provides a different set of features and support levels to meet your needs. For prices, see the pricing page. For billing cycles, payment methods, and credits, see Billing and pricing.

Vultr

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet supports adding Vultr instances as nodes in your CFKE cluster. The most streamlined and scalable approach is the cloud-init integration of the Cloudfleet Terraform provider. You create Vultr instances with Terraform. The Cloudfleet Terraform provider generates a cloud-init configuration that automatically registers the instances with your CFKE cluster.

Kubernetes versions and upgrades

Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Cloudfleet upgrades your clusters for you. Cloudfleet upgrades clusters frequently to add new features while the underlying Kubernetes version stays the same. We call these versions CFKE patch versions. When your cluster upgrades to a new CFKE patch version, the underlying Kubernetes version usually stays the same.

Manage Kubernetes secrets with External Secrets Operator

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0700

Managing secrets in Kubernetes can quickly become a headache. You might start by copying database passwords into YAML files, which end up in Git. Then you realize that’s not secure, so you base64-encode them (which doesn’t actually encrypt anything). Eventually you’re managing dozens of secrets across multiple environments, manually updating them whenever a password changes, and wondering if you just accidentally pushed credentials to your public repository.

OVH

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

You can integrate OVH Public Cloud instances as worker nodes in your CFKE cluster. The recommended workflow uses the Cloudfleet Terraform provider with cloud-init automation. You provision OVH instances with Terraform. The cloud-init scripts that Cloudfleet generates automatically join these instances to your existing CFKE cluster.

Persistent volume issues

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

On CFKE, you install and own the CSI drivers for persistent volumes (see storage). This page covers the volume problems that reach support most often.

Scaleway

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

You can use Scaleway instances as worker nodes in your CFKE cluster. The recommended approach combines the Cloudfleet Terraform provider with cloud-init automation. You deploy Scaleway instances with Terraform. The cloud-init configuration that Cloudfleet generates automatically then registers these instances with your CFKE cluster.

Fleet taints

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Fleet taints keep workloads off a Fleet. Every node the Fleet provisions carries the taints, so only Pods that tolerate them can run there. Use them to dedicate a Fleet to one kind of workload, for example CI runners or GPU jobs, next to the Fleet that runs your production services.

Exoscale

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet supports adding Exoscale instances as nodes in your CFKE cluster. The simplest and most scalable approach is the cloud-init integration of the Cloudfleet Terraform provider. You create Exoscale instance pools with Terraform. The Cloudfleet Terraform provider generates a cloud-init configuration that registers the instances with your CFKE cluster automatically.

Proxmox

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

You can add Proxmox VE virtual machines as nodes in your CFKE cluster. The recommended approach uses the Cloudfleet Terraform provider with the Telmate Proxmox provider to automate VM creation with cloud-init. Terraform provisions the Proxmox VMs. A cloud-init configuration that Cloudfleet generates registers the VMs with your CFKE cluster automatically.

Auto-provisioning profiles

Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Auto-provisioning profiles control how the node auto-provisioner behaves when it considers consolidating a Fleet. Profiles let you balance cost optimization against workload disruption, so the auto-provisioner’s behavior matches the sensitivity of your workloads.

GCP Persistent Disk

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Compute Engine Persistent Disk CSI driver provisions Persistent Disk volumes for Pods on the GCP nodes of your Fleet. The driver authenticates through Workload Identity Federation with your cluster’s OIDC tokens. You create no GCP service account keys and store no credentials in the cluster.

On-premises load balancing with BGP

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

You have several options to expose your Kubernetes Service to external clients. Two common methods are NodePort and LoadBalancer. NodePort exposes a Kubernetes Service on each node’s IP at a static port. The LoadBalancer Service type is a Kubernetes abstraction that creates a network Load Balancer service. That Load Balancer exposes your Service through a single floating IP (VIP).

Authentication

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet Container Registry (CFCR) supports three authentication methods for different use cases: the Docker credential helper for interactive use, API tokens for CI/CD automation, and automatic authentication for CFKE clusters.

Deploy MariaDB on Kubernetes with MariaDB operator

Sat, 27 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0700

This guide will walk you through deploying MariaDB on a Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) cluster using the MariaDB operator. MariaDB is fully compatible with MySQL, serving as a drop-in replacement with enhanced features and performance. The MariaDB operator enables you to declaratively manage MariaDB instances using Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), providing features like high availability, automated backups, and seamless scaling.

Data sources

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Terraform data sources retrieve read-only information from existing Cloudfleet resources, so you can reference them elsewhere in your configuration. Use them to connect to an existing cluster or Fleet, or to use client credentials, without managing those resources in your Terraform code. Data sources support flexible and modular setups, where infrastructure is shared or managed outside the current deployment workflow.

Node regions

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In cloud computing, ‘regions’ are the geographical locations where cloud service providers operate their data centers. Each region is a distinct area, often with multiple data centers, that hosts cloud resources and services. Providers select regions to reduce latency, improve redundancy, and comply with local data laws and regulations. A region closer to end users or the target audience gives faster data transfer and better application performance.

Run PostgreSQL on Kubernetes with CloudNativePG

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0700

This guide walks you through running a highly available PostgreSQL cluster on Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) using CloudNativePG, commonly shortened to CNPG, the CNCF operator for PostgreSQL. You will finish with a three-instance PostgreSQL 18 cluster on Hetzner Cloud block storage, with streaming replication, TLS-secured connections, controlled node placement, and automatic failover that completes in seconds. The last section adds a shared cluster that applications in other namespaces reach without any password, using certificates issued by cert-manager.

Hetzner Cloud Volumes

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Hetzner Cloud CSI driver provisions Hetzner Cloud Volumes for Pods on the Hetzner Cloud nodes of your Fleet. Hetzner Cloud does not support identity federation, so the driver authenticates with an API token. It reuses the token that your Fleet already stores in the cluster, so you do not create or manage a second credential.

Fleet configuration

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Fleets represent cloud accounts connected to a CFKE cluster. When you create a Fleet, CFKE automatically provisions nodes in that cloud account to run your workloads. CFKE currently supports AWS, GCP, and Hetzner for node auto-provisioning.

Image management

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet Container Registry (CFCR) stores Docker images, OCI images, multi-architecture images, and Helm charts. This guide covers common operations to manage these artifacts.

Egress Gateways

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

With Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE), you can define specific egress points for your workloads. CFKE integrates Cilium’s Egress Gateway feature for this purpose. This document explains how to configure and use Egress Gateways so that outbound traffic from selected Pods comes from a predictable, static IP address.

Privacy policy

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

We at Cloudfleet GmbH (“Cloudfleet”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) endeavor to respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, safeguard, share, and disclose your personal information in connection with our products and services. It also explains your rights and choices with respect to your personal information. This Policy applies when you interact or make a purchase through our websites located at cloudfleet.ai, and any other websites, pages, features or content we own or operate (collectively, the “Site(s)”); when, as a subscriber to our Services, you use our platform available through the online platform at console.cloudfleet.ai (the “Platform”); or other products or services that direct you to this Policy (collectively, including the Sites and the Platform, the “Service(s)”).

Local disks

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Kubernetes local volume type turns a disk of a node into a PersistentVolume. Local disks are fast and need no CSI driver. They fit self-managed and bare-metal nodes, scratch data, and apps that replicate their data themselves. A local volume belongs to one node, so the Pod that uses it always runs on that node.

Network observability with Hubble

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) uses Cilium as its container network interface. Cilium’s observability layer, Hubble, is already active on every node in your cluster. Each node continuously records network flows: which Pods talk to each other, over which ports and protocols, and whether the traffic was forwarded or dropped.

Access control

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet Container Registry (CFCR) uses the same role-based access control as other Cloudfleet services. There is no separate registry-specific permission system to configure.

Control plane scalability

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Cloudfleet provides a fully managed Kubernetes service, so we take on the operational work of scaling and maintaining your cluster’s control plane. A healthy, responsive cluster depends on a well-performing control plane, and our team makes sure it handles your growing demands. Cloudfleet handles the underlying scaling. This guide explains how the components interact and how you can optimize your usage patterns for the best performance. This guide gives best practices for how your interactions with the API Server can affect the performance and scaling of other managed components, like the Controller Manager and Scheduler.

CI/CD integration

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Automate container image builds and pushes with your existing CI/CD platform. This guide gives configuration examples for popular CI/CD systems.

Install Cloudfleet CLI

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

cloudfleet is the official command-line tool for Cloudfleet services and the Cloudfleet API. You can manage your infrastructure from the command line, with all the benefits of a scriptable interface. The CLI is generated automatically from the OpenAPI schema of the API. For descriptions of endpoint input and output schemas, see the API Reference section of this documentation.

MCP server

Cloudfleet pricing updates: what is changing and why

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0200

What is changing

Cloudfleet now has three plans: Basic, Pro, and Enterprise. Each plan is a flat monthly base fee that includes a set number of vCPUs, plus a per-vCPU fee for any usage above what is included in the base fee.

June 2026 at Cloudfleet: release channels, self-service GPU sharing, and CLI and Terraform 1.0.0

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0200

June was a build month, and the build paid off on the first of July. Today we shipped the largest coordinated release we have put out: a single release that lands on the console, the CLI, the Terraform provider, and the API at the same time. It brings release channels for control plane upgrades, self-service GPU sharing, custom cluster networking, and a fully redesigned CLI to every surface at once, and it marks the moment the CLI and Terraform provider both reach 1.0.0 under a shared version scheme. Here’s the tour.

May 2026 at Cloudfleet: an AI-native support center, Fleet constraints, and OIDC for CI/CD

Mon, 25 May 2026 09:00:00 +0200

We told you in last month’s recap that May was going to be busy. It was. The biggest launch of the month is one most platforms treat as plumbing, a support ticketing system, but we built ours from scratch because we think support is where the AI-driven operations story starts. Around it landed a new way to describe where your workloads should run, OIDC-native CI/CD, a fresh CLI, and a same-day mitigation for a Linux kernel CVE that hit the whole ecosystem. Here’s the tour.

New account verification for Cloudfleet organizations

Thu, 07 May 2026 10:00:00 +0200

We are introducing a new account verification process for all Cloudfleet organizations. Going forward, every account will be required to verify its billing address and payment method. Previously, this verification was handled on demand and manually by the Cloudfleet team. We are now making it a standard part of using the platform.

April 2026 at Cloudfleet: four new clouds, bring-your-own networks, and Haru

Fri, 01 May 2026 09:00:00 +0200

We promised April would be eventful, and it delivered. The platform work that landed quietly through January, February, and March made room for a busy release month: four new cloud providers in private preview, a long-requested networking option for Hetzner Kubernetes deployments, a reliability fix for self-managed nodes, and a fresh Kubernetes minor version. Here’s the tour.

Cluster API (CAPI): what it is and when you need it

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Cluster API (CAPI) is a Kubernetes sub-project that lets you manage the lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters using Kubernetes itself. You define a cluster in YAML, apply it to a management cluster, and CAPI controllers provision the infrastructure, bootstrap the nodes, and install Kubernetes. Upgrades, scaling, and deletion all work through the same declarative model.

Rancher vs OpenShift: a practical comparison

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Rancher and OpenShift are two of the most widely adopted enterprise Kubernetes platforms. Both are backed by large vendors (SUSE and Red Hat/IBM respectively), both target production workloads, and both extend vanilla Kubernetes with management tooling, security features, and operational workflows. But they take fundamentally different approaches to the same problem, and choosing between them has significant long-term implications for cost, portability, and operational complexity.

OpenShift vs Kubernetes: what you need to know

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

“OpenShift vs Kubernetes” is one of the most searched comparisons in the container orchestration space. But it is a misleading framing. OpenShift is not a competitor to Kubernetes. OpenShift is a distribution of Kubernetes, in the same way that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a distribution of Linux.

Top OpenShift alternatives for Kubernetes in 2026

For organizations already invested in the Red Hat ecosystem, it can be a natural choice.

Cloud sovereignty, data residency, and portability

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

European organizations face a problem that most technology vendors would prefer they not think too hard about. The three largest cloud providers, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, control roughly 70% of the European cloud market. All three are US-headquartered companies subject to US law. And US law, specifically the CLOUD Act, grants federal authorities the power to compel these companies to hand over data regardless of where that data is physically stored, including data belonging to European citizens sitting on servers in Frankfurt or Amsterdam.

Kubernetes operators: what they are and when to use them

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Kubernetes provides a powerful set of primitives for running containerized workloads: Pods, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, and Secrets handle the majority of stateless application patterns. But when you need to run something more complex, like a database cluster with automated failover, a message queue with partition rebalancing, or a monitoring stack that configures itself based on your workloads, the built-in resources are not enough.

Hetzner Kubernetes: a complete guide for 2026

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000
