Managed Kubernetes in India
Kubernetes clusters in Mumbai, with the control plane, version upgrades and worker patching run by us. You deploy your applications; we keep the cluster healthy and answer the phone when it isn't.
Every cluster includes
- The control plane, run by us
- Kubernetes version upgrades, planned with you
- Ingress with TLS certificates for your domains
- Metrics and logs for the cluster and your workloads
- Servers in Mumbai, billed in rupees
Workers from ₹1,478/worker/month. The control plane is included at no charge.
- Since 2006, Jaipur
- 3,500+ businesses served
- Mumbai data centre, Yotta NM1
- GST invoice in INR
Who managed Kubernetes is for, and who should look elsewhere
This is for you if
- You run containers in production — several services, APIs or background workers — and want Kubernetes without running the control plane, upgrades and node patching yourselves.
- You deploy often and want rolling updates, self-healing and autoscaling, with your data in India.
- You want a cluster billed in rupees with a GST invoice, and engineers you can call when it misbehaves.
This is not for you if
- One or two applications, or a WordPress site → a managed VPS is simpler, at a fixed monthly price
- Nobody on your team writes Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts → start on a VPS, or ask us to package your applications (quoted)
- One AI model on one GPU → a GPU server is simpler than a cluster
What we run for you
The control plane
The Kubernetes API, scheduler and cluster state are ours to run. The control plane is included at no charge.
Worker pools
Development, production and memory-heavy workers, priced per worker. Mix pools in one cluster.
Version upgrades
Kubernetes releases three minor versions a year, each patched for about 14 months. We plan each upgrade with you and run it at a quiet hour.
Self-healing
Kubernetes restarts failed containers and moves them off failed workers; we replace the worker.
Ingress and TLS
Traffic routed to your services on your own domains, with TLS certificates issued and renewed.
Persistent storage
Volumes that survive restarts, for databases and uploads: priced per GB, on request.
Metrics, logs and alerts
Cluster, worker and workload metrics and logs, with alerts to our engineers when the cluster is unhealthy.
Autoscaling
Your services add and remove copies with load. More workers when you need them: added on request.
How it works
- 1PlanWe size the cluster with you before you order: which worker pools, how many workers, how much storage, and the monthly cost.
- 2BuildThe cluster set up in Mumbai with networking, ingress, TLS, storage and monitoring in place, and your access to it.
- 3DeployYour applications moved in from manifests, Helm charts or your pipeline; we help with the first deployment.
- 4OperateMonitoring, worker patching, version upgrades and incident response from the day the cluster goes live.
How much does managed Kubernetes cost in India?
Per worker, a month: ₹1,478 for a development worker, ₹4,880 for production and ₹9,382 for memory-heavy services, exclusive of GST. The control plane is included at no charge. A small production cluster of three production workers comes to ₹14,640 a month.
All prices on one pageWhat moves the price
- Which worker poolDevelopment workers suit testing and small services; production workers suit APIs and web apps; memory workers suit caches, queues and search.
- How many workersWe recommend at least three production workers, so one can be upgraded or fail while the others carry the load. A development cluster of two costs ₹2,956 a month.
- StoragePersistent volumes for databases and uploads: priced per GB, on request.
Who does what on your cluster
| Task | We do | You do | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control plane: API, scheduler, cluster state | |||
| Kubernetes version upgrades | plan and run | check your apps on the new version | |
| Worker operating-system patching and replacement | |||
| Ingress, TLS certificates and storage drivers | |||
| Cluster monitoring, alerts and first response | |||
| Your manifests, Helm charts and container images | packaging your apps (quoted) | ||
| Deployment pipeline (CI/CD) | set-up (quoted) | ||
| Backups of your application data | cloud backup |
Your cluster stays yours
- You get admin access to your cluster's Kubernetes API through kubectl, with your own credentials.
- Your applications are defined in standard Kubernetes files — manifests and Helm charts — that run on other Kubernetes clusters too, so leaving is a move, not a rewrite.
- The split of work on this page is written into your agreement before you start.
- The same engineers who have run our customers' servers since 2006 — one team, one phone number.
Data in India, support in IST
Clusters run in Mumbai, so your data stays in India. The DPDP Act doesn't itself require that, but many clients ask, and the RBI requires payment system data to be stored only in India. Support is in English and Hindi, in IST, by WhatsApp, phone and email.
Questions people ask
What is managed Kubernetes?
Kubernetes runs your containers across a group of servers, called workers, and restarts or moves them when something fails. Managed means the provider runs the control plane, upgrades and worker maintenance; you deploy and run your applications.
What's the difference between managed and unmanaged Kubernetes?
Who does the upkeep. On unmanaged Kubernetes your team runs the control plane, patches the workers, plans version upgrades and answers the alerts. On managed Kubernetes we do those, and your team works on the applications. Managed vs unmanaged Kubernetes
How much does managed Kubernetes cost in India?
You pay per worker, a month: from ₹1,478/worker/month for development up to ₹9,382/worker/month for memory-heavy work, exclusive of GST. A small production cluster of three production workers comes to ₹14,640 a month. The control plane is included at no charge.
Is the control plane free?
The control plane is included at no charge. For comparison, Amazon EKS, Google GKE and Azure AKS's Standard tier each charge $0.10 an hour per cluster, about $73 a month, before any workers; AKS's Free tier has no fee but no financially backed uptime SLA.
Do I get kubectl access?
You get admin access to your cluster's Kubernetes API through kubectl, with your own credentials.
Do I need Kubernetes at all?
If you run one or two applications, probably not: a VPS with Docker, or a managed VPS, is simpler to run. Kubernetes pays off when you run many services, deploy several times a week, or need to scale and recover without anyone logging in.
How are Kubernetes upgrades handled?
Kubernetes releases three minor versions a year and patches each for about 14 months, so every cluster needs upgrading at least once a year. Before each upgrade we check your workloads for APIs the new version removes, agree a time with you, and upgrade the workers one at a time.
Can you manage our existing EKS, AKS or GKE cluster?
Yes. We can take over the day-to-day running of an existing EKS, AKS or GKE cluster, quoted after a free review. AWS managed services
Is my data kept in India?
Yes. Clusters run in Mumbai. The DPDP Act allows personal data to leave India unless the government restricts a country, but many clients ask for data in India, and the RBI requires payment system data to be stored only in India.
Can I run GPU workloads on Kubernetes?
GPU worker pools: available on request, with NVIDIA L4, RTX PRO 6000 or H200 workers. For a single model, a GPU server on its own is simpler.
What happens if a worker fails?
Kubernetes moves your containers to the healthy workers, and our monitoring alerts an engineer, who replaces the failed one. First response: 10 minutes if production is affected. Support and SLA
