Bring Your Own Cloud /

Use other cloud providers with Northflank

You can bring your own cloud to use all the features of the Northflank platform on other cloud hosting providers.

Connect your account with Northflank to create and manage Kubernetes clusters in your own cloud account, and gain complete control of your infrastructure, data storage, security, and auditing.

You will use your existing billing relationship with your cloud provider for all resources consumed by your clusters. See cloud provider billing for more information.

You can also import an existing Kubernetes cluster to be managed by Northflank, see import an existing cluster (BYOK).
