We run a production Kubernetes cluster on dedicated bare-metal servers, hand it to you, and operate it — no control plane to patch, no per-use meter ticking. A flat monthly price you can actually forecast.
The major clouds charge a premium for the same compute — plus egress, NAT gateway tax, and a surcharge on every managed database. Bare metal flips that.
We own the parts that page you at 2 a.m. You get kubectl access and the freedom to deploy anything that runs in a container.
Provisioned, patched, and backed up. You never touch etcd.
Nodes sized to your workload, with rolling deployments and horizontal scale.
A crashed pod restarts; a failed node drains and reschedules. We get the page.
PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse — backups, replication, pooling. No separate vendor.
Your cluster is yours — not a shared namespace on someone else's infrastructure.
Full access to deploy anything that runs in a container. Managed, not locked-down.
Most workloads are steady-state and overpay for elasticity they never use. A fixed monthly price for known capacity beats a metered bill that spikes when traffic does.
This isn't theory for us. Our founder documented the whole build — running a private cloud on bare metal, the trade-offs, and the numbers — in this technical write-up: building my own cloud. The honest caveat: if your workload is genuinely spiky — idle most of the month, then a 50× burst for a day — cloud elasticity can win those days. Bare metal wins the other 29. If you're the exception, we'll tell you.
A Kubernetes cluster on its own is a toolkit. AppZ wraps it with everything a real deployment needs — one provider, one invoice, one team that knows your stack.
Your Docker images stored next to where they run, with vulnerability scanning.
Included — not a separate observability bill with per-GB ingestion fees.
ERPNext, the full Frappe suite, n8n, Chatwoot, analytics — deployed into your isolated tenant.
Full root access for the legacy app or CI runner that isn't containerised yet.
We're not for everyone, and pretending otherwise wastes your time.
Managed Kubernetes on bare metal — a production cluster, managed databases, and per-tenant isolation at a price you can plan around. We'll look at your actual workload and tell you honestly whether bare metal or cloud is the right call. If it's not us, we'll say so.
