Guided scenario
Managed Kubernetes hosting
Teams that want Kubernetes without operating the control plane themselves need a managed service that runs the masters, upgrades, and healing for them. This shortlist ranks cloud providers by managed Kubernetes maturity: a managed control plane plus Helm support, so you ship workloads instead of babysitting clusters. Also weigh worker-node pricing, autoscaling, and how much of the upgrade path is handled for you.
