Is OVHcloud's Free the best deal?

Managed Kubernetes Service · $0/mo

Best in class

OVHcloud's free Kubernetes tier is genuinely hard to beat at $0/mo for the control plane, though you'll pay separately for worker nodes, storage, and IPs. No comparable free managed Kubernetes offerings were found in the search results, making this the best entry point for cost-conscious teams willing to manage node expenses.

Before you switch

Worker nodes, persistent storage, and IPv4 addresses are billed separately and can quickly exceed the free control plane cost
Windows nodes incur a $0.039/vCore/hour surcharge on top of instance pricing
APAC regions (India, Singapore, Australia) will lose free egress after mid-2026; plan for outbound traffic charges if you're in those zones
Object Storage retrieval fees and 30-180 day minimum storage durations apply to infrequent/cold tiers; early deletion incurs penalties
Shared control plane on free tier may have performance or feature limits compared to dedicated control planes at higher tiers
Single AZ deployment means no built-in multi-zone redundancy; you must provision nodes across zones manually
