Performance of bare metal

Ubicloud Kubernetes runs on our high-performance cloud virtualization stack on bare metal infrastructure with the latest hardware, ensuring reliability, and speed. Your dedicated control plane and worker nodes reside in virtual subnets and are connected through our load balancers. Our native container networking solution, UbiCNI, integrates seamlessly with Ubicloud's networking stack to deliver great performance and reliability.

60-70% lower cost

With Ubicloud Kubernetes, you get 3x more value for your investment, using cost-effective bare metal hardware. Pay only for the resources you use—no hidden costs for networking or egress fees.
