- **HA Control Plane Included**: 3+ control plane nodes, automatic failover, zero downtime upgrades. All included at no extra cost.
- **Production-Ready in Minutes**: No complex setup, no infrastructure headaches. Deploy your first cluster in minutes, not days.
- **Transparent Pricing**: Pay only for compute and storage. What you see is what you pay.

### Perfect for

- Microservices architectures requiring high availability
- CI/CD pipelines with GitOps workflows
- AI/ML workloads and data processing
- Production applications that can't afford downtime
- Teams migrating from AWS EKS, Google GKE, or Azure AKS

### Frequently Asked Questions


**Which Kubernetes versions does enum support?**
We run upstream Kubernetes, no fork. On top, we include best practice tooling like Cilium, fully managed and kept up to date. We support the latest stable versions and provide zero-downtime rolling upgrades when new versions are available.

**How does the HA control plane work?**
Every cluster gets a dedicated, highly available control plane with 3+ nodes across independent failure domains. Automatic failover ensures your cluster stays operational even if a control plane node fails.

**How do upgrades work?**
Kubernetes upgrades are performed as zero-downtime rolling updates. Control plane and worker nodes are upgraded sequentially, so your workloads keep running without interruption.

**Can I use my own container registry?**
Yes. You can use any container registry. Your cluster has full network access to pull images from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, or your own private registry.

**How does pricing work?**
You pay per hour for compute nodes and per GB for block storage. The HA control plane is included at no extra cost.

**How do I migrate from AWS EKS, GKE, or AKS?**
We run standard upstream Kubernetes, so your existing manifests, Helm charts, and CI/CD pipelines work without modification. We also offer managed migration services to help with the transition.
