Managed Kubernetes
Simplify container management with our secure, scalable, and high-availability Enterprise Managed Kubernetes solution.
Key features
We focus on simplicity, reliability, and security. Our fully European Managed Kubernetes service helps you effortlessly manage, scale, and optimise your applications. Whether you're a startup or an established business, we provide the solution that fits your needs.
Developer Friendly
Easily manage your Kubernetes with our API, CLI, and even Terraform. Support to manage your cluster with familiar/ established tools like Kubectl and K9s.
Reduce costs
Optimise your Kubernetes infrastructure with cost-efficient resource management. Reduce operational expenses by eliminating overhead and paying only for the resources you use.
Automatic Updates
Benefit from automated, non-disruptive updates and upgrades, ensuring your cluster stays up to date with the latest Kubernetes features.
Cluster hibernation
Cyso Cloud offers a clever way to automatically scale-down all resources to zero. You can either hibernate a cluster by pushing a button, or by defining a hibernation schedule.
Flexible worker node configuration
Create multiple worker groups to meet specific workload requirements, including support for GPUs, high memory, or CPU-intensive tasks.
Autoscaling
There are three auto-scaling scenarios. You can choose: Horizontal Node Auto-Scaling, Horizontal Pod Auto-Scaling and Vertical Pod Auto-Scaling.
Self-healing
Automatically detects and replaces failed pods or nodes, maintaining cluster health without manual intervention.
High availability
Managed Kubernetes ensures a scalable and highly available Kubernetes control plane and enterprise-grade SLAs to ensure the reliability of your applications.
Why Managed Kubernetes
Cyso Cloud is CNCF certified, which means you can migrate any conformant clusters and avoid being locked in by a vendor. Focus on your apps, we manage the resources for you!
Consistency
Users want consistency when interacting with any installation of Kubernetes. Cyso Cloud offers multiple minor Kubernetes versions.
Life Cycle Management
Vendors need to provide the latest version of Kubernetes frequently, so you can be sure that you’ll always have access to the latest features.
Compliancy
End users can confirm that their distribution or platform remains conformant by running the identical open source conformance application that was used to certify.

Simplify Kubernetes Management with End-to-End Support
Cyso’s Managed Kubernetes service offers a solution to the complexity of managing and maintaining Kubernetes platforms. By taking care of the implementation, management, maintenance, and monitoring of the Kubernetes platform, organisations can fully focus on developing their applications.
This approach accelerates the development and deployment process, increases productivity, and ensures a secure, compliant, and reliable infrastructure. Additionally, the service is infrastructure-independent and supports hybrid cloud environments, with 24/7 support and DevOps on Demand assistance for setting up CI/CD processes.
Frequently asked questions
We use a flexible pay-per-hour pricing model with no startup costs. This means you only pay for the resources you actively use, ensuring cost efficiency and scalability. Whether you’re running virtual machines, containers, databases, or storage, you are billed only for the time they are running—down to the hour.
With no upfront investment, our pricing structure is designed to eliminate unnecessary costs, making it ideal for businesses of all sizes. You can easily scale resources up or down based on demand, avoiding over-provisioning and ensuring you never pay for more than you need. This pay-as-you-go approach provides maximum flexibility while keeping cloud expenses under control.
Suppose you run your cluster on two VM worker nodes with a basic configuration of 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 25 GB SSD, and 4 TB of egress traffic. Such a worker node costs €22.00 per month with traffic included. You can choose for a single control plane this is 29.99 per month (a High availability control plane costs €59.99 per month). The cost for the router with IP is €1.99. So your cluster will cost you €75.98 per month. Below you see the costs listed:
- EMK Control plane: €29.99/month (€0.044628/hour)
- IP (router): 1x €1.99/month (€0.002961/hour)
- Workers: 2x €22/month (€0.032738/hour)
You can choose all the compute flavors that we mention on the prices page.
We don’t charge for egress traffic when you use VM worker nodes.
You will be charged for the number of nodes you use hourly when autoscaling is in effect. You can configure the limits beyond which your cluster won’t scale. Setting a limit is useful to avoid unnecessary costs.
We accept Credit Card payments globally, SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) for our European customers and bank transfer on request. These options ensure secure and convenient transactions for all our users.
No, you can only manage worker nodes. Cyso Cloud takes care of the control plane management, including provisioning, scaling, security, and updates.
One of the key benefits of a Managed Kubernetes service is the reduced operational overhead, as you don’t need to maintain or troubleshoot master nodes yourself. This also enhances the reliability, security, and availability of your Kubernetes clusters, ensuring a stable and hassle-free experience.
For the latest updates and improvements, check out our changelog.
Yes, our cloud platform supports integration with a wide range of third-party tools for management, monitoring, and automation.

We use OpenStack and 100 more Open Source techniques because we believe in “The Four Opens”:
- Open source
- Open Design
- Open Development
- Open Community
With these points in mind, we believe that a world does not consist of 1 cloud provider (AWS or Azure). For this reason we initiated the CiC (Cloud infrastructure Coalition, the Dutch part of the European project GAIA-X). Every user should have the choice to run his/her data on a secure and exchangeable cloud environment without an eco-system lock-in.
We provide tech-to-tech support during office hours via email, chat, Slack, and phone, ensuring direct access to our experts for any technical questions or assistance. Additionally, we offer 24/7 support for outages, with real-time updates communicated through our status page to keep you informed on issue resolution progress.
We provide a 99.9% SLA. This means that Cyso Cloud Managed Kubernetes is suitable for running your production clusters with applications that require high availability.
We are certified for ISO/IEC 27001 and NEN 7510, ensuring the highest standards of security and data protection.
ISO/IEC 27001: This globally recognized standard focuses on information security management, ensuring that our systems, processes, and controls are designed to protect your data from threats such as breaches, leaks, and cyberattacks.
NEN 7510: A Dutch standard specifically for healthcare organizations, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of medical and personal data, making our services suitable for handling sensitive health information.
These certifications demonstrate our commitment to security, compliance, and reliability, giving you confidence that your data is in safe hands.
