No lengthy procurement. No platform team required. No infrastructure setup — just a conversation, a portal login, and a cluster.
Tell us your use case, team size, and compliance requirements. We set up your account and scope the right cluster configuration — usually a 30-minute conversation.
Your account gives you access to the Stakater Cloud Portal — your self-service control plane. Provision clusters, manage add-ons, and configure your environment without opening a support ticket.
Your cluster is live in under 15 minutes. Deploy your first workload the same day. Stakater SRE handles all upgrades, incidents, and operations — forever.

GDPR-aligned EU data residency, low-latency European access, and additional regions on request.
Premier Partner tier and a Container Management specialism — both verifiable on Red Hat's official partner directory.
Hyperscalers stop at compute, storage, and network. Stakater starts where your teams ship.

Ship product, not platform
EU customers want EU residency. Building a platform on AWS or Azure means a 4–8 person team and 12–18 months before a single feature ships. Skip both.
