Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

Managed Kubernetes Cluster by next layer is a managed Kubernetes service from the Austrian provider next layer. Each cluster is highly available, with at least three nodes spread across different data centres for redundancy. You combine as many master and worker nodes as you need, choosing hardware that leans towards memory, processor or storage, and persistent volumes are available for files and databases, billed by usage.

next layer sets up and runs the cluster while you keep admin rights: you reach it through the full API to provision pods and can watch it in the graphical Kubernetes dashboard. Hosted in Austria, it is a European alternative to the American managed Kubernetes offerings.
