CIAB.IO

Managed Kubernetes ab 10 EUR im Monat — in deutschen Rechenzentren.

Wir betreiben unsere Projekte selbst — auf eigenen Kubernetes-Clustern in deutschen Rechenzentren, nicht bei einem Hyperscaler. Die Preise beginnen bei 10 EUR im Monat für einen einzelnen Container und reichen bis 10.000 EUR im Monat für einen hochverfügbaren Cluster; abgerechnet wird monatlich.

Was das praktisch heißt: Ihre Daten bleiben in Deutschland und unterliegen der DSGVO, es gibt einen Ansprechpartner für Entwicklung und Betrieb, und die Umgebung ist auf den eingesetzten Stack zugeschnitten statt auf einen Baukasten. Migration bestehender Anwendungen und Betriebsübernahme gehören dazu.

Zugesagt sind 99 % Verfügbarkeit und Reaktionszeiten zwischen 4 und 24 Stunden, je nach vereinbartem Service-Level. Erreichbar sind wir 8 Stunden am Tag an Werktagen. Die Mindestlaufzeit beträgt 12 Monate; wer erst ausprobieren möchte, bekommt einen Proof of Concept über 3 Monate.
