Managed Kubernetes in India, billed by the hour or the month
Kubernetes 1.28 clusters on Apache CloudStack in our Noida datacentre. We build the control node and the workers; you download the kubeconfig and deploy. Clusters from ₹1,386 a month, or by the hour with no commitment. Your first ₹500 of hourly cluster usage is free. Prices exclude 18% GST.
No separate cluster fee
A cluster is priced as its nodes. The control node and every worker are billed at the same compute rates as our cloud servers, and the plan price already includes the control node.
kubectl in minutes
Download the kubeconfig from the panel or the API and use kubectl, Helm, Lens, k9s or your CI pipeline as you do today.
Resize when load changes
Change node vCPU and RAM, or add and remove workers, from the panel or the API. No ticket and no new cluster.
Hourly or up to 36 months
Start hourly with no commitment, then move to a monthly or longer term at a lower rate. You can switch the billing cycle later.
Runs in India
Nodes and their NVMe disks live in our Noida (Delhi NCR) datacentre, on our own network behind Cloudflare Magic Transit DDoS protection.
Rupee pricing, GST invoice
Pay from a prepaid wallet by UPI, card or net-banking. Every invoice is a GST tax invoice you can claim input credit on.
Kubernetes cluster prices
Each price covers the whole cluster: the control node plus the workers listed. Prices exclude GST.
| Cluster | Nodes | Each node | Hourly | Monthly | Per node, monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| K8s Starter | 1 control + 2 workers | 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe | ₹2.71 / hour | ₹1,386 / month | ₹462 |
Longer terms cost less
A term is billed upfront for the whole period. Effective monthly price shown for comparison.
| Cluster | Monthly | 3 months | 6 months | 12 months | 24 months | 36 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| K8s Starter | ₹1,386 | ₹3,950.10₹1,316.70 / month | ₹7,484.40₹1,247.40 / month | ₹13,305.60₹1,108.80 / month | ₹23,284.80₹970.20 / month | ₹24,948₹693 / month |
Need bigger nodes or more workers? Resize after the cluster is up; each node is billed at the compute rate card. The free allowance of ₹500 is one per account and covers hourly cluster usage only.
From sign-up to kubectl
Sign up, complete the one-time eKYC, then create a cluster under Kubernetes in the panel. When it shows Running, download the kubeconfig:
1. Create
Pick a cluster plan and a billing cycle, name the cluster and create it. It is ready when its status shows Running.
2. Connect
export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/Downloads/kubeconfig
kubectl get nodes
kubectl create deployment web --image=nginx3. Grow
Add workers or larger nodes from the cluster page or the API when traffic grows; move from hourly to a term once usage is steady.
Prefer a single server for Docker Compose or a small app? A cloud VPS is simpler, or build one to your exact size.
Managed Kubernetes questions
What is managed here, and what do I manage?
We create the cluster on Apache CloudStack (CKS): the control node, the worker nodes, their network and the Kubernetes install. You get the kubeconfig and run your own workloads with kubectl, Helm or any CI tool. Upgrades of what you deploy, your images and your data are yours.
Which Kubernetes version do you run?
Kubernetes 1.28, on Apache CloudStack Kubernetes Service (CKS), in our Noida (Delhi NCR) datacentre.
Is there a separate control plane or cluster fee?
No separate fee. A cluster is priced as its nodes: the control node and every worker are billed at the same compute rates as our cloud servers, and the plan price shown already includes the control node.
How is a cluster billed?
Hourly, metered per hour with no commitment, or monthly and longer terms up to 36 months at a lower effective rate. You can switch a cluster between hourly and a term later. Prices exclude 18% GST and every invoice is a GST tax invoice.
Can I resize a cluster?
Yes. Change the vCPU and RAM of the nodes, or add and remove workers, from the panel or the API. On a term the rest of the paid period is settled pro rata; an hourly cluster is billed at the new size from then on. Adding or removing workers runs on the live cluster; changing node vCPU or RAM stops the cluster for a few minutes while the nodes are rebuilt.
How do I connect with kubectl?
Download the kubeconfig from the cluster page in the panel, or with the API, then point kubectl at it. It works with Helm, Lens, k9s and CI pipelines in the same way.
Is there a free trial?
New accounts get a one-time Kubernetes allowance that covers the first part of hourly cluster usage; the cluster page in the panel shows how much is left. After that, hourly usage is charged from your prepaid wallet.
Do you sell GPU nodes or dedicated hosts for Kubernetes?
No. Every node is a KVM virtual machine with reserved vCPU and RAM on NVMe storage. We do not rent GPU servers or physical dedicated servers; for AI models use our per-token AI API instead.
Where does my cluster run, and does data stay in India?
In our datacentre in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on our own Indian network behind Cloudflare Magic Transit DDoS protection. Nodes and their disks stay in India.
