Intra-DC Provider Connectivity

For more information on how we connect metros together, and for more information about how to reduce in/egress costs with existing deployments at other IaaS providers, please get in touch.

Self-Hosted/On-Premise Metros

If you require running solutions in-house or on-premise, either for SOC/ISO/HIPPA compliance or for other security, performance or cost-saving reasons, please get in contact for more details on what typical offerings look like and how we can provide the necessary tools to you and your SRE team.

Usage

When using kraft, you can set the metro you wish to use by either setting the CLI flag --metro in any kraft cloud subcommand or by setting the environmental variable UKC_METRO. Use the IATA code descriptor to target the specific metro. For example with fra0:

# Via CLI flag
kraft cloud --metro fra0 run -p 443:8080 nginx:latest

# or via environmental variable
export UKC_METRO=fra0
kraft cloud run -p 443:8080 nginx:latest
