Create Your Cluster

First, you need a Kubernetes cluster to deploy your products. CNAP offers managed clusters - we handle all the complex Kubernetes operations so you can focus on your product.

​
Create a Managed Cluster

  1. Choose your region - Select where you want your cluster
  2. Add worker capacity - Either:
    • Hetzner Cloud (recommended) - Provide API keys, we handle the rest
    • SSH - Connect any existing servers you have
  3. Deploy - Your cluster will be ready in minutes

This is our KaaS offering - a lightweight alternative to EKS/GKE that manages everything for you. Learn more →

Creating a Product

Onboard your product through the Products Dashboard.

You can select the Helm package from Artifact Hub.

Our roadmap includes support for Helm charts hosted on private Git/OCI repositories in the near future.

Select to which the product can be deployed. Users will only see the regions of the clusters when they are deploying the product. Checkout Clusters for more information.

Pricing products

If you require users to pay for deployments of a product, you can link a CNAP product with one or more from one or more .

Click “Add Product” to create the product.
