Fully managed Kubernetes clusters, deploy in minutes • Starting at $27.86/month
Managed Kubernetes
Run containerized applications at scale with our fully managed Kubernetes service. We handle the control plane, you focus on your apps.
What is Managed Kubernetes?
Lineserve Managed Kubernetes takes the complexity out of running Kubernetes in production. We manage the control plane, handle upgrades, and ensure high availability so you can focus on building and deploying your applications. Choose between a basic single master node for development and testing, or a fault-tolerant 3-master setup for production workloads. Scale your worker nodes on demand and pay only for what you use.
Fully managed control plane
We handle the API server, etcd, scheduler, and controller manager so you don't have to.
Automatic updates and patching
Stay current with the latest Kubernetes versions and security patches automatically.
Built-in high availability
Fault-tolerant clusters with redundant master nodes for production-grade reliability.
Integrated monitoring
Pre-configured Prometheus and Grafana dashboards included out of the box.
Native cloud integrations
Seamlessly integrated with Block Storage, Load Balancers, and Private Networking.
"Focus on deploying your applications while we manage the underlying Kubernetes infrastructure, upgrades, and reliability."
Supported Versions
Simple Cluster Pricing
Choose your control plane configuration. Pay only for the resources you use.
Worker Nodes
Billed separately based on the standard Cloud Server pricing. Scale up or down anytime.
No Commitment
Clusters are billed hourly. Create environments for testing and destroy them when done.
Free Traffic
All internal cluster traffic (pod-to-pod) and inbound traffic is completely free.
Resource Pricing
Pay only for the resources your worker nodes consume
Compute Resources
Worker node CPU resources
| Resource | Unit | Hourly | Monthly |
