Managed Kubernetes

Production-grade K8s, without the toil.

Fully managed Kubernetes clusters that handle the control plane, upgrades, and auto-scaling for you. Focus on your applications — we handle the orchestration layer, from provisioning to certificate rotation.

Everything included

Kubernetes the way it should work.

Every cluster ships with the primitives your team already depends on — no add-on shopping, no plugin hunting.

Managed Control Plane

The API server, etcd, scheduler, and controller manager run on our infrastructure with a 99.99% uptime SLA. You never SSH into control plane nodes.

Cluster Autoscaler

Node pools scale out in response to pending pods and scale back in when workloads shed. No manual node provisioning required.

Multi-Zone Node Pools

Spread worker nodes across our Lagos availability zones so a single rack failure never takes down your cluster.

Integrated RBAC & NetworkPolicy

Namespace isolation, role bindings, and Calico NetworkPolicy are configured out-of-the-box. Least-privilege by default.

Secrets Encryption at Rest

Kubernetes secrets are encrypted in etcd using an envelope encryption model backed by our key management service.

Pre-wired Observability

Prometheus metrics, structured logging, and distributed tracing integrations are available with a single toggle in the console.

Persistent Volume Support

CSI-backed NVMe block volumes attach to pods with ReadWriteOnce semantics. Snapshots and clones are first-class operations.

One-Click Version Upgrades

Minor version upgrades roll out node-by-node with automatic drain and cordon. Zero-downtime for workloads that respect PodDisruptionBudgets.

How it works

From zero to running cluster in three steps.

01

Create a cluster in seconds

Choose a Kubernetes version, define your initial node pool size and instance type, and click deploy. The control plane is provisioned and healthy in under 3 minutes. You receive a kubeconfig immediately.

$ nubis k8s create --name prod-cluster --k8s 1.30 --nodes 3 --size nb-metal-4
02

Connect and deploy your workloads

Point kubectl at your new cluster and apply your manifests. We handle load balancer provisioning, PVC binding, and DNS — your Deployments and Services work exactly as you expect.

$ kubectl apply -f ./k8s/ && kubectl get svc --watch
03

We handle the ops, you handle the product

Control plane patches, etcd backups, certificate rotation, and node OS updates happen automatically on a schedule you approve. No maintenance windows, no Saturday alerts.

$ Control plane auto-patched · etcd snapshotted every 6h · Certs rotated 30d before expiry

Cluster configurations

Right-sized for every team.

Use cases

What teams build on Nubis K8s.

Microservices

Native service discovery, Ingress routing, and pod-level network policy make Kubernetes the right substrate for complex service meshes.

Batch Processing

Run distributed data pipelines with Kubernetes Jobs and CronJobs on auto-scaling node pools. Scale to zero between batch windows.

Internal Platforms

Build a multi-tenant platform with namespace isolation, resource quotas, and RBAC. Give each team their own slice of the cluster.

Edge Deployments

Co-locate your application cluster in Lagos to serve West African users with sub-20ms latency from a single managed control plane.

Zero latency.
Zero lock-in.

Reclaim your infrastructure. Deploy to our Lagos edge in under 60 seconds and experience what cloud performance actually feels like.

Simple pricing - No lock-in
