Get your Apache Kafka cluster with CloudKarafka's new flexible plan

Written by Elin Vinka

One plan to rule them all! CloudKarafka has released a new flexible plan that outshines previous hosting options in flexibility. Running Apache Kafka has never been easier.

The ability to customize cloud-provided Apache Kafka clusters is a necessity that has proven to play a more significant role for businesses. CloudKarafka has hosted Apache Kafka since 2015 and has long experience, but like most organizations in a rapidly changing industry, we need to evaluate and adjust our approach to keep up with the trends.

Introducing ONE powerful and flexible plan

With this new, flexible plan, it's never been easier to set up and run an efficient Apache Kafka workflow. The old plans were limited to a fixed set of nodes in a cluster, and to provide more memory to clusters, you needed to switch to a larger plan. Now, with just a few clicks, your Apache Kafka cluster can scale up or down to the requirements of your needs.

CloudKarafka Dedicated – A complete Apache Kafka solution

CloudKarafka Dedicated plan offers an installed and managed Apache Kafka cluster where you can choose between 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 nodes, add or remove nodes from the cluster at any time, and adjust RAM and disk size. In addition, businesses can easily adjust the cluster setup, upgrade and downgrade, rely on automatic security updates and set custom alarms to improve monitoring. And if something goes wrong, our engineers are here to help.

Price update – CloudKarafka gets a makeover

To keep up with the models of modern cloud infrastructure, especially the data transfer costs, the need for updated price models follows. CloudKarafka always strives to maintain simplicity in our pricing to make it fairer to the end customer. Businesses should only pay for actual use.

Introducing Microsoft Azure

We also broaden the usability options by introducing Microsoft Azure to the list of cloud service providers. This addition will help businesses further to set up and run their clusters where it is most suitable for them. CloudKarafka is also available on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform.  See the complete list of data centers.

What happened to the old plans?

Old plans are deprecated and won't be a chooseable option from now on. Customers running on old plans can still access and won't be affected by this change. However, we welcome new and existing customers to consider CloudKarafka Dedicated and, of course, we are here to help anyone who would like to migrate from old plans to the new.
