One API.
Curated building blocks—operated as one platform.We operate an integrated cloud platform built on carefully selected Open Source building blocks (OpenStack, Ceph, Kubernetes/Gardener). Kubernetes, IaaS, storage, add-ons and app services are unified under a single API and consistent tooling.
Unified API across Kubernetes, IaaS, storage and services
Consistent projects, access control and audit across the stack
CLI/TUI + dashboard for day‑2 operations and automation
Designed for infra-as-code workflows (e.g. Terraform)
Operated as one system: one team, one operating model
Operating model
Controlled, traceable, proven in production.Clear responsibility
We run the platform as a system—no fuzzy handoffs between infrastructure, Kubernetes and tooling.
API-first
Resource management via API, dashboard and CLI/TUI. Built for teams that automate for real.
Sovereign access
Control projects, access and logs. Control-plane access can be VPN-based (WireGuard).
Who it’s for
For teams on call.
- MSPs and hosters who want a platform instead of point tools
- SaaS teams that need controlled infrastructure
- Organizations with sovereignty and compliance requirements
- Technical decision makers accountable for operations
Not for
- Pure price-driven hosting without a platform layer
- Project consulting without an operating mandate
- "Cloud = VM" without automation and platform integration
Platform capabilities
What you get—integrated and operable.Managed Kubernetes
Control plane operations, updates and standard templates. Worker nodes run as regular compute flavors.
Compute & networking

Usage-based billing
Usage-based billing and transparent pricing for core resources.
Pricing
Transparent, fair billing — hourly or monthly.B2B only. All prices net, excl. VAT.
Pricing calculator
Compose your resources and get a quick cost estimate.
Note: The estimate uses hourly rates. For monthly values we assume 730 hours. Egress is billed per GB.
Default: 730h (month). Compute and Kubernetes hours are set per row above.

Frequently asked questions
-
A curated cloud platform for production operations: Kubernetes, IaaS, storage and platform services—exposed via a unified API, dashboard, and CLI/TUI.
-
We focus on an integrated operating model instead of a collection of unrelated products. One platform, consistent access control/audit, and day‑2 operations designed to be automated.
-
You can use the API directly, the dashboard, or the bnerd CLI/TUI. Most workflows are designed to work well with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform).
-
We operate the platform in Germany/Switzerland. The design targets predictable operations and clear responsibility—useful for teams with compliance and sovereignty requirements.
-
We operate the Kubernetes control plane (updates, templates, lifecycle). Worker nodes are regular VM flavors—so pricing, networking, and storage stay consistent across the stack.
-
Support and SLAs depend on your workload and requirements. We offer an operating model with clear ownership, escalation paths, and optional service-level upgrades—talk to us for details.
