Kubo — AI-Ready Kubernetes Platform

Pure Kubernetes.
Without the overhead.

Kubo provisions a 100% CNCF-certified Kubernetes cluster the moment you sign up, with IAM, networking and cluster setup handled for you. Deploy from the dashboard, from GitHub or GitLab, or from your AI tool — on cloud or on-premise.

AWS Qualified Software

Hexabase has passed the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR).

AWS Qualified Software.

Everything Kubernetes, minus the setup

Pure Kubernetes

100% CNCF-certified, with no proprietary specs and no vendor lock-in. kubectl and Helm work as-is, and your AWS or Azure experience transfers directly.

Deploy your way

Click Deploy in the dashboard, import from GitHub or GitLab, run the CLI from your CI/CD pipeline, or ask an AI tool such as Claude Code or Cursor. If it runs as a Docker image, it runs on Kubo.

Cloud or on-premise

Start instantly on Kubo Cloud with card payment, or run Kubo On-Premise on SUSE Enterprise Linux and RKE2 — with air-gapped support and complete data sovereignty.

The same cluster, for less
