KubeOn GPU pricing · Early access
Editions for how far the optimizer goes
Start with Insights to measure every GPU-hour and see what the optimizer would do. Move to Optimize to let it act in Approve or Automatic mode, with burst to other regions of the same cloud, and to Enterprise for burst across clouds and into your data centers.
Insights
Every GPU-hour measured and owned, with proposals and no write access.

How we count
The terms in a KubeOn GPU quote
Plain definitions, so the quote and the invoice say the same thing.
Monitored GPU
A physical GPU seen by an agent during the billing period, measured as the average number present at once. A GPU split into MIG slices or time-sliced still counts once.
Burst GPU
A GPU attached by GPU burst counts as a monitored GPU only for the hours it is attached. The cloud charges for it stay on your own bill.
Optimized cluster
A cluster running the GPU optimizer. There is no separate charge per cluster: GPUs are counted the same way with or without it.
User
A person who signs in to KubeOn. People who only receive reports, alerts or approval requests by email are not counted.
Your quote
What sets the price
We share prices with each client, based on their requirements. Every KubeOn GPU quote is built from the same four inputs.
- Monitored GPUs
- The average number of physical GPUs present at once over the billing period, across every cluster with an agent. CPU nodes are not counted.
- Edition
- How far the optimizer may go: Insights for measurement and proposals, Optimize for Approve and Automatic modes with burst inside one cloud, Enterprise for burst across clouds and into owned data centers.
- Deployment
- KubeOn Cloud and self-hosted hubs use the same editions. A self-hosted hub needs Optimize; on-premises and air-gapped hubs need Enterprise.
- Term
- Quoted annually, with multi-year terms and volume pricing available. KubeOn, KubeOn AI and KubeOn GPU can share one agreement.
Worked example: monitored GPUs for a 30-day month
GPUs are averaged over time, so autoscaling peaks and burst count only for the hours they run.
| Pool | Peak | Average | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ml-inference8 L40S all month, autoscaling to 12 for 10 hours a day | 8 L40S all month, autoscaling to 12 for 10 hours a day | 12 | 9.7 |
| ml-notebooks2 A10G on weekdays from 07:00 to 20:00, scaled to zero otherwise | 2 A10G on weekdays from 07:00 to 20:00, scaled to zero otherwise | 2 | 0.8 |
| dc1-gpu8 A100 all month, one split into three MIG slices | 8 A100 all month, one split into three MIG slices | 8 | 8.0 |
| burst4 L40S in eu-central-1 for 3 days of the month | 4 L40S in eu-central-1 for 3 days of the month | 4 | 0.4 |
| Total | 26 | 18.8 |
This counts as about 19 monitored GPUs, not its 26-GPU peak.
- Autoscaling and scale to zero count for the hours GPUs run: GPUs the optimizer removes stop counting when they leave.
- MIG slices and time-sliced replicas count as the one physical GPU they share.
- Burst GPUs count only while they are attached to your cluster.
- Owned GPUs in your data center count the same way as cloud GPUs.
- Growth during the year is handled the way your quote sets out, with no surprise charges month to month.
FAQ
KubeOn GPU pricing questions
Billing
Your cloud providers do, at your own rates, and your data center costs stay yours. KubeOn GPU is licensed on monitored GPUs; it never resells compute, and burst nodes are created in your own accounts.
Editions
Yes. Insights runs every policy in Recommend mode, so the proposals are already there. Moving to Optimize lets the same policies run in Approve or Automatic mode.
