Kubernetes Engine.
As it should be.
Upstream Kubernetes with its own highly available control plane for every cluster. You ship the workloads. We run the control plane, the upgrades and the failover.
Available on request today. Self-service cluster creation launches in Q4 2026.
Isolated per cluster
Every cluster gets its own control plane. It is never shared with another cluster or customer.
Upgrades without downtime
Node by node, while your workloads keep running.
Private by default
Clusters start private, with outbound NAT included.
Control plane included.
You pay for compute.
Nodes are billed by the hour, in euros. The highly available control plane, 100 GB of disk per node and outbound NAT come with every cluster.
Per month means 730 hours. Prices exclude VAT. Commitments of one to three years save 10 to 20%. Block storage €0.10 per GB a month, load balancer €10.00 a month.

No lock-in.
No fork and no proprietary layer on top. Manifests, Helm charts and GitOps pipelines work the way they do anywhere else.

Questions.
Answered.
How do I get a cluster today?
Clusters are available on request: tell us what you want to run and we set the cluster up with you. Self-service cluster creation through enumctl and the API launches in Q4 2026. Object storage and DNS are self-service already.
What does enum Kubernetes Engine cost?
You pay for worker nodes by the hour, from €0.06 for a gp-1 node with 1 vCPU and 4 GB. The highly available control plane, 100 GB of disk per node and outbound NAT are included. Block storage costs €0.10 per GB a month and a load balancer €10.00 a month. Prices are in euros, exclude VAT, and commitments of one to three years save 10 to 20%.
Is it upstream Kubernetes?
Yes. enum runs upstream Kubernetes without a fork or proprietary add-ons, so standard manifests, Helm charts and GitOps workflows work unchanged.
Can I move from EKS, GKE or AKS?
Yes. Because enum runs upstream Kubernetes, workloads move without code changes. Object storage is S3-compatible, so tools like rclone and the AWS SDKs keep working. Our team plans the migration with you, runs both platforms in parallel and switches over with a rollback plan.
Where does it run?
enum runs the clusters in a Tier III+ data centre in Frankfurt, Germany. A Berlin region is available on request.
Is there an SLA?
Yes, 99.9% availability for the Kubernetes control plane API. Ask us for the contract terms.
Is enum subject to the US CLOUD Act?
No. enum GmbH is a German company with no US parent or US entity, so the CLOUD Act does not reach the data it holds.
