Managed Kubernetes

NetActuate Managed Kubernetes lets you deploy production-grade Kubernetes clusters on NetActuate infrastructure. The control plane is fully managed, and you configure worker nodes and deploy workloads.

Key Features​

  • Managed control plane - NetActuate handles the Kubernetes API server, etcd, and controller components
  • Optional high availability - run multiple control plane replicas for API resilience
  • Flexible worker nodes - choose CPU type, location, RAM, CPU, and disk per node
  • Pay for compute only - you are billed for worker node VMs; the control plane is included at no additional cost
  • Kubernetes Dashboard - optionally install the official dashboard during cluster creation
  • Integrated monitoring - Prometheus metrics endpoint and resource visibility from the portal

Portal Navigation​

Navigate to Infrastructure → Kubernetes in the portal. From here you can:

  • Overview - cluster health, Kubernetes version, HA status, pod/service CIDRs, and resource usage
  • Nodes - view worker node status, hardware plan, and resource utilization
  • Resources - Kubernetes-native view of namespaces, events, workloads, and networking objects
  • Access - download your kubeconfig, and find direct URLs for the API endpoint, Prometheus, and Kubernetes Dashboard

Deploy inside a VPC​

You can place a cluster inside an existing Virtual Private Cloud so that worker nodes run on a private subnet behind your VPC gateway instead of holding public IPs. In-VPC clusters share the same managed control plane and add a single controlled egress point, gateway firewall integration, and the Load Balancing add-on. See Kubernetes in a VPC and Custom Pod and Service CIDRs.

Managed Add-ons​

Managed Add-ons extend a cluster with NetActuate-operated Storage, DNS, and Load Balancing that you enable from the portal instead of installing controllers yourself. See Managed Add-ons.

Note: Kubernetes in a VPC and Managed Add-ons are rolling out and are not yet generally available on every cluster. This documentation is published ahead of general availability.
