In February, we launched our new Edge Cloud product, Gcore Container as a Service, in beta. Now, we are happy to announce that it’s available for everyone to use in a production environment. Billing will be enabled on April 16.
What is Gcore Container as a Service?
Gcore Container as a Service (CaaS) is a serverless cloud solution. It allows you to run containerized applications in the cloud, with no need to create and maintain virtual machines, servers, or container orchestrators like Kubernetes. Gcore takes care of the infrastructure, while you use containers in the cloud and pay only for the time they are running.
Key features of CaaS include:
- Autoscaling with a scale-to-zero option
- DDoS protection
- GitHub Actions integration
- REST API support
- High availability with 99.9% SLA
- 24/7 technical support
How Much Does CaaS cost?
You pay only for the resources it takes to execute your container. Here are some examples of the monthly price for a container that runs in a pod with an 80mCPU-128MB configuration:
| Region | Monthly price per pod |
| Darmstadt | €1.18 |
| Frankfurt | €1.18 |
| London | €1.18 |
| Luxembourg-2 | €1.16 |
| Paris-2 | €1.18 |
| Warsaw | €0.93 |
| Dubai | €1.73 |
| Hong Kong | €1.02 |
| Singapore | €1.35 |
| Tokyo | €1.02 |
| Chicago | €0.93 |
| Manassas | €1.16 |
| São Paulo-2 | €1.73 |
You can also use the Cloud Calculator to determine the cost of a specific configuration in a preferred location.
Conclusion
Gcore CaaS is the easiest way to run containers in the cloud. You can use it for your personal projects or for business tasks. It frees your in-house engineers from managing the underlying infrastructure, allowing them to focus on what matters most to your business.
