What is it
Flow Kubernetes is a Swiss-based, simple, yet advanced managed Kubernetes service that gives you complete control over your clusters. It is also called Kubernetes-as-a-Service.
Who is it for
It is ideal for developers and businesses that need secure, Swiss-hosted, highly available Kubernetes environments. Among many other use cases, typically it is used for deployment, management, and scalability of containerized web applications and backend services.
Why use it
Flow Kubernetes has been built from the ground up with simplicity, flexibility and speed in mind. Thanks to an efficient and lightweight architecture, you can launch production-ready, scalable Kubernetes clusters in minutes. With the Flow Kubernetes CCM core infrastructure resources as Volumes, Load Balancers, and VPCs are natively integrated into Kubernetes environments.
Kubernetes features
With the custom Cloud Controller Manager, core infrastructure features as Volumes, Snapshots, Load Balancers and VPCs are natively integrated into Kubernetes clusters.
General
Wizard-guided provisioning
With the wizard of our intuitive control panel, provisioning Kubernetes clusters couldn't be simpler.
Native Kubernetes (K8s)
Use kubectl CLI, API, or any Kubernetes ecosystem tool you know for a fully consistent user experience.
API
The Flow API makes it easy to create, update and manage your clusters through API in a programmatic way.
Swiss. Multi regional.
Spin up clusters in two state of the art, certified data centers in Switzerland. ZRH1 (Zurich) and ALP1 (Luzern).
Simple management
Reboot. Rebuild. Cordon. Drain. Use predefined actions in the control panel to manage Kubernetes nodes.
CCM
One-click cluster scaling
Scale your clusters up or down with just one click, and Kubernetes logic does the rest for you.
Public or privat
The choice where the clusters are either publicly connected or completely isolated within a private subnet (VPC).
Security Groups
Use Security Groups (firewall) to secure your clusters and define which services and ports are accessible.
Health monitoring
Flow continuously monitors the general health of your clusters, control plane (master node) and all worker nodes.
Technology
Cloud Controller Manager
With Flow CCM other infrastructure resources as Volumes, Load Balancers, and VPCs are natively integrated into Kubernetes.
Flatcar Linux
Kubernetes nodes are based on Flatcar, the container-optimized Linux, an immutable, self-updating operating system designed for containers.
Trafik integration
Use the leading, built-in ingress controller based on Traefik for load balancing, certificate management, reverse proxy and more.
Flow Kubernetes pricing is based on the underlying required and optional Kubernetes-related resources.
