Unique Advantages of Gcore Managed Kubernetes Service
Bare metal support
Running containers directly on bare metal operating systems improves latency and performance as well as avoids interference from neighboring VMs.
No-fee SLA-backed cluster management
Production level cluster management with a 99.9% SLA guarantee at no extra cost, unlike competitors who either offer no SLA or charge $70+ per month for it.
Great value Gcore instance prices for worker nodes
Offering exceptional value, our Gcore pricing ensures that worker nodes are available at the same competitive prices as our virtual instances and bare metal servers.
Other Advantages
One-click provisioning
Provision your worker nodes in 'one-click' using a single command in the Gcore self-service portal, API, or via Terraform.
GPU worker nodes support
Gcore Managed Kubernetes clusters support GPU worker nodes, allowing you to run GPU-intensive workloads like machine learning, video processing, and gaming.
Latest versions
Supporting latest Kubernetes versions 1.24, 1.25, 1.26, 1.27, and 1.28.1.
Automated control
The service continuously monitors the health of your nodes, updating and restarting them automatically if necessary.
Automated scaling
Within your cluster, the number of nodes in your pool can dynamically scale up or down automatically.
High availability
Each cluster dashboard is duplicated to ensure that the cluster is always available.
Secure connections
All connections between the master node and the nodes within a cluster are automatically encrypted.
DDoS protection
Your projects are protected from DDoS attacks at the network and transport layers by default.
24/7 technical support
Quick real-time assistance and quality technical service around the clock.

Pricing: Cluster management
at no additional cost
- Pay only for worker nodes (VM and bare metal) and network resources (load balancers and floating IPs) — standard priced Gcore Cloud instances.
- Egress traffic is free for VM nodes. Bare metal egress traffic is paid.
- The billing method is "Pay-as-you-go" per minute.
