Kubernetes Services Plans Pricing
The Kubernetes Services API (ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, ExternalName, Headless, Gateway API) is a core part of the Kubernetes project — Apache-2.0 licensed and free to use. There is no vendor charge for the Service abstraction itself. Costs accrue from the underlying cloud-provider load balancers (NLB, ALB, GCLB, Azure LB), public IPs, and inter-zone/egress data transfer that LoadBalancer-typed Services may provision.
Kubernetes Services Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Kubernetes Services on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 1 plan, covering freemium tiers, with named plans including Open Source.
Tagged areas include Kubernetes, Networking, Open Source, and CNCF.
