Committed Kubernetes Plans
Overview
Committed plans are available for both Master Nodes and Worker Node Pools, allowing flexibility and cost efficiency tailored to your Kubernetes needs. We also provide management features to ensure seamless control over your cluster.
How Committed Plans Work
- The committed period for Kubernetes nodes depends on the selected plan.
- Infra credits for the committed plan are deducted in full at the time of launching the plan. For postpaid customers, the full cost of a committed plan is added to the next bill.
- Both Master Nodes and Worker Node Pools can be launched under hourly or committed plans.
Once you have launched your Kubernetes cluster, you can manage your cluster's master and worker nodes via the MyAccount Portal dashboard.
Converting Hourly Kubernetes Nodes to Committed Plans
If you've launched Kubernetes nodes on an hourly plan, you can convert them to a committed plan to save more. Follow these steps:
-
Navigate to the Kubernetes page in your MyAccount Portal and select your cluster.
-
Select the Master Node or Worker Node Pool you want to convert.
-
Click Convert to Committed from the actions menu.
-
In the Convert to Committed dialog, select the desired committed plan from the dropdown list.
-
Tick the acknowledgment checkbox to confirm.
-
Click Convert to apply the change.
Once converted, you will receive an email notification confirming the successful update.
Managing Committed Kubernetes Settings
After launching a Kubernetes cluster with a committed plan, you can manage its settings at any time. Follow these steps:
-
Go to the Kubernetes page in your MyAccount Portal and select your cluster.
-
Select the cluster (Master Node or Worker Node Pool) with the committed plan.
-
Click Committed Kubernetes Settings from the actions menu.
-
In the settings dialog, update the renewal or billing preferences as needed.
Renewal Options
Committed Kubernetes plans offer the following renewal options:
Auto-Renewal
The default option for committed Kubernetes plans. Once the committed period ends, the plan automatically renews with the same settings. You can select a different plan, but changes take effect only after the current committed period ends.
Hourly Billing
If selected, nodes switch to hourly billing after the committed period ends, providing flexibility to terminate or modify the cluster without restrictions.
Unlike committed Load Balancer plans, committed Kubernetes plans do not support auto-termination after the committed period.
