UpCloud Managed Kubernetes
Connect your account from UpCloud Managed Kubernetes and Wodby will spin up a ready-to-run Kubernetes cluster for you. We will install all necessary infrastructure, so you can deploy your app using one of our stacks in a few clicks.
Specific to this provider
What Wodby sets up on UpCloud Managed Kubernetes
Wodby creates an UpCloud Managed Kubernetes cluster in the account that owns the API token you add. Each cluster gets a private network of its own, nodes with public addresses, and one UpCloud load balancer for app traffic.
A fixed number of nodes
UpCloud does not add or remove nodes on its own, so a cluster keeps the node count you choose when you create it. You can change the count later from the cluster's settings.
Development or Production tier
The Development option uses UpCloud's free control plane and free load balancer. Production uses a highly available control plane with three API servers and a load balancer with two servers.
Single-node clusters skip the load balancer
A single-node cluster serves traffic on its node's public IP address, so it needs no load balancer. It is the cheapest way to run small apps on UpCloud.
Encrypted disks that leave with their volume
Wodby adds MaxIOPS, Standard, and HDD storage classes that encrypt disks at rest and delete each disk with its volume. UpCloud's own classes keep the disk, so Wodby hides them.
Nothing left behind after deletion
UpCloud keeps and bills a cluster's load balancers and disks after the cluster is gone. Wodby deletes them, together with the cluster's private network, when you delete the cluster.

Infrastructure we install and maintain
A cluster ready to run your apps
Wodby installs and connects the services for app traffic, resource monitoring, and provider integrations. Start deploying with these essentials in place, and keep them and the Kubernetes version current with Wodby.
Application routing
Publish HTTP and HTTPS endpoints for your apps. Wodby configures the gateway and routes requests to the appropriate service.
- Envoy Gateway
Know how your cluster is performing
View CPU, memory, and storage metrics in Wodby to understand resource usage and investigate capacity issues without assembling your own monitoring stack.
- Monitoring
- Node exporter
- Kubernetes state metrics
Keep your cluster current with less manual work
Wodby upgrades its infrastructure and the infrastructure app stacks automatically, and can upgrade the Kubernetes version too, each with its own version policy and maintenance window. You choose what may change and when, and every upgrade is a task you can follow.
Automatic infrastructure upgrades
Keep Wodby's cluster networking and routing setup current. Enable automatic upgrades and choose which patch, minor, and major changes your cluster may receive.
Automatic infrastructure app updates
Update gateway, monitoring, and controller stacks automatically with their own version policy, including newer revisions of the same version.
Automatic Kubernetes upgrades
Turn automatic upgrades on and Wodby moves the cluster to new Kubernetes patch releases in your maintenance window, while the provider keeps its system components current. They are off by default, because each upgrade replaces the nodes and restarts every pod. You can also review the upgrade plan and start one yourself.
Maintenance on your schedule
Set separate weekdays, hours, and time zones for automatic infrastructure, infrastructure app, and Kubernetes upgrades, so routine maintenance starts when it suits your team.
Reviewable, traceable updates
Review infrastructure app changelogs, Kubernetes upgrade plans, and available release notes. Follow upgrade tasks, retry failed operations, and receive success or failure emails for automatic infrastructure and Kubernetes upgrades.
App environment network isolation
On supported clusters, network policies isolate incoming traffic between app environments while keeping services in the same environment connected.
Need more capacity? On supported scalable managed clusters, set minimum and maximum node counts and let the provider's autoscaler adjust capacity to workload demand. Explore cluster scaling →

Prefer not to use your own cloud account or server?
If you want the Wodby Kubernetes workflow without a provider account or server of your own, deploy with Wodby Cloud. It gives you the same managed stacks and deployment model without requiring a cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.
No separate provider account
Start deploying without creating and wiring AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, or dedicated server infrastructure first.
Less infrastructure hassle
Wodby provides the cluster and platform foundation so your team can focus on applications instead of setting up and owning the infrastructure itself.
Simple pay-as-you-go model
Wodby Cloud pricing provides a simpler way to get started with a managed Kubernetes environment and predictable platform costs.
