Managed Kubernetes clusters — free single-master control plane, optional paid HA, autoscaling node pools, billed per worker node
Updated August 24, 2026Raff Kubernetes is a managed Kubernetes service. Pick a worker plan and a node count; 10–20 minutes later you have a running cluster and an admin kubeconfig. We operate the control plane, keep it monitored, and roll out version upgrades in place — you deploy with the tools you already use: kubectl, Helm, your CI.The control plane is free — you pay only for worker nodes, from $9.99/month each. High availability (3 masters and a redundant gateway) is a flat $30/month. Every cluster runs RKE2 with Cilium networking in its own VPC, behind a managed gateway with a dedicated public IP.
Every cluster gets its own VPC, a gateway (public IP, NAT, load-balancer entry point), one or three control-plane nodes (on hypervisor-local NVMe for fast etcd), your worker pools, and optionally dedicated storage nodes running Longhorn. The full picture is in Cluster architecture.
