Managed Kubernetes

Production-Ready Kubernetes with a 99.9% Uptime SLA

Run production workloads on CNCF-certified Kubernetes backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA. One-click high availability with etcd quorum, all-NVMe nodes and built-in monitoring keep you online — and the control plane is free, so you pay only for worker nodes. Connect your own kubectl and ship.

What you get

Kubernetes Operated for You, Built to Stay Up

Raff runs and monitors the masters, etcd and networking around the clock, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA. Every cluster lives on the same battle-tested platform as your VMs, storage and network — one account, one bill, one API. The control plane is free, and same-region traffic is never metered.

Everything included

One Cluster, Everything Built In

Everything below comes with the cluster — no add-on shopping, no setup.

Free control plane

The control plane is $0 at every size. You pay only for worker nodes.

CNCF-certified Kubernetes

Standard, conformant Kubernetes. Your manifests and Helm charts run anywhere — no lock-in.

Autoscaling

Worker pools scale up and down on their own between the min and max you set per pool — reacting to pending pods and sustained low load. Or scale by hand anytime.

One-click high availability

Promote the control plane from one master to three after launch, with etcd quorum. One click, no rebuild.

Node pools

Run multiple pools in one cluster, each with its own plan and node count. Add dedicated storage nodes for stateful workloads.

One-click apps

Install Postgres, Redis, n8n, Grafana and more straight onto your cluster — generated credentials, public URL, automatic TLS, no YAML.

Built-in monitoring & logs

Live CPU and memory for the cluster and every node, a workloads view for deployments and pods, live pod logs with tailing, and an activity feed — all in the dashboard, nothing to install.

Private by default

Every cluster gets its own VPC; nodes sit on the private network only. A free managed public endpoint routes traffic in, and you apply the same firewall as your Raff VMs to the edge.

All-NVMe

Every node on fast NVMe SSD — for databases, builds and bursty workloads alike.

Six guided steps

The Hidden Bill Behind “Managed” Kubernetes

79% of teams run managed Kubernetes, and the big three — EKS (~42%), GKE (~27%), AKS (~23%) — bill a per-cluster fee whether or not you ship. The average team runs 6.3 clusters.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Yes — standard, conformant Kubernetes. Your charts and manifests run anywhere.

No. It’s free at every size. You pay only for worker nodes.

Yes. Download a kubeconfig with full cluster-admin and use your own tooling and CI/CD.

Yes — promote from one master to three in one click, with etcd quorum.

Worker-node disk isn’t a storage product, so it isn’t priced separately. For stateful workloads you add dedicated storage nodes — 100–1,000 GB each, billed at $0.08 per GB per month (a 100 GB node is $8.00/mo).

No. Same-region traffic is free and never metered.
