Pricing built for businesses of all sizes

Cloudfleet’s pricing model consists of two components: a fixed cluster (control plane) management fee and a per-CPU management fee for all worker nodes. Both components are calculated at the cluster level, with a detailed breakdown of the resources consumed provided at the end of the month.

1. Prices are listed in U.S. dollars (USD). A bill is sent out at the end of each billing cycle, detailing previous usage and charges. All prices are prorated by the minute, and you will only pay for the time your cluster or nodes existed.

2. The CPU management fee is the same for both cloud and on-premises nodes and is based on the baseline CPU count after optimizations. Cloudfleet counts virtual CPUs (vCPUs) reported by cloud service providers as CPUs. Typically, one vCPU corresponds to one physical CPU thread. Most physical server CPUs have two threads per core, resulting in two vCPUs per CPU core.

3. For nodes launched in Managed Fleets, in addition to the per-CPU price, Cloudfleet charges for the underlying compute cost based on the cloud service provider's prices.

FAQ

CFKE is a fully managed service that simplifies running Kubernetes across multiple cloud providers and on-premises environments. It eliminates the need for you to install or operate your own Kubernetes control plane or manage worker nodes.

CFKE handles the provisioning and scaling of the Kubernetes control plane, including API servers and the backend persistence layer, across different cloud providers, regions, and availability zones. This ensures high availability and fault tolerance. It automatically detects and replaces unhealthy control plane nodes, applies patches, and provides serverless compute for containers, removing the need to manage servers manually. You pay only for the resources your applications use, while also benefiting from enhanced security through application isolation by design.

No, you don’t need a credit card to use the Basic plan. Simply sign up, connect to your Kubernetes cluster, and you’re ready to deploy your first applications!

The Basic plan is designed to be the most affordable option for running Kubernetes workloads. Basic clusters without any active workloads (such as deployments or cron jobs) will be hibernated after seven days of inactivity. The cluster’s state is preserved, and you can resume it anytime in the Cloudfleet console.

Cloudfleet is a multi-cloud Kubernetes platform that provides a single control plane to manage Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers and on-premises environments. For a detailed comparison with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Engine (EKS) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), see our managed Kubernetes service comparison page.

Yes, Cloudfleet can be used by teams of all sizes or even by individual developers. Our Kubernetes platform is designed to help you build, deploy, and scale applications quickly and easily.

Cloudfleet is required to charge sales tax or VAT on its products and services. The tax amount is calculated based on your location and/or your business or tax status, which determines whether a product or service is taxable and the applicable tax rates.
