The European cloud, without the overhead.
Servers, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL and object storage, run by automation and AI instead of a back office. We pass the saving on: a server is €1.49 a month and a 4 core Kubernetes node is €7.49.

Illustrative console view
The same 4 vCPU and 8 GiB, priced across Europe
The most common Kubernetes node, shared CPU, at each provider's own list price. Every figure is read from the provider's price page and dated.
Monthly list prices in euros before VAT, read in September 2026. OVHcloud and Scaleway bill a public IPv4 on top; UpCloud includes one; Ankra Cloud includes an IPv6 /64 and charges €4.00 for IPv4. Method and every size.
A complete cloud, not just cheap servers
Compute, storage, networking and managed services in every zone, driven by one API. Each card says exactly where it stands today.
Cloud servers
KVM virtual machines from 1 core and 1 GiB, on Debian, Ubuntu or your own image.
from €1.49 / monthBlock storage and backups
Volumes in three tiers: replicated Ankra Storage, local NVMe and HDD.
from €0.029 / GiB-monthNetworking
A routed public IPv6 /64 for every server, private networks, routers, floating IPs and firewalls.
IPv6 includedNetwork edges
A managed bastion, NAT64 and DNS64 gateway and dual-stack load balancer for IPv6-only fleets.
its plan plus one IPv4Load balancers
A highly available HAProxy pair with TLS termination, health checks and IPv6 members.
€6.98 / month with IPv4Managed PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL 17 on a private network, with TLS that verifies the server.
from €15.00 / monthObject storage
S3-compatible buckets in each zone, signed with AWS Signature V4.
€0.006 / GiB-monthManaged Kubernetes
A control plane run by Ankra, node pools on your Ankra Cloud servers, CCM and CSI preinstalled.
control plane from €0.00AI agents and MCP
An MCP server with a tool for every API operation, so Claude and other agents can run your account.
IncludedA cloud bill, minus the overhead
Running a cloud costs more than its hardware. The rest is management, and management is what software and AI are good at. Every line we automate is a line you stop paying for.
A fleet upgrade stops no servers
The node agent upgrades underneath running servers, one host at a time, and the rollout halts itself on the first failure.
A failed host is fenced, then replaced
When a host stops answering it is powered off and cut from storage, and only then do its servers restart elsewhere. Planned work empties a host with live migration first.
Every operation is a tool an agent can call
The whole cloud sits behind one API. Our operators hand routine work to AI agents through it, and the same door is open to yours.
A data centre in Frankfurt does not make a cloud European
What matters is who runs it and whose law reaches the data. Ankra Cloud is built and operated by a Swedish company with no US parent, and your servers, disks and networks run only in EU zones.

The second saving is your own time.
A cheap server only helps if it doesn't cost you an engineer to look after. The automation and AI that keep our running cost down are there to keep yours down too.
Ask the cloud about itself
Early accessAnkra AI in the console answers from your own account: servers, plans, backups and spend. It proposes rather than acts, so every change stays your decision.

worker-1 is the largest compute line. I can compare its plan with the alternatives before proposing a change.

Want Kubernetes without a platform team?
Ankra Platform builds and operates clusters on Ankra Cloud servers, ships your applications to them and puts AI agents on call. Same account, no lock-in either way.
What people ask before they move
Who runs Ankra Cloud?
Ankra AB, a Swedish company in Stockholm. We built the cloud ourselves: our own node agent on KVM, our own control plane and our own storage and networking. Your contract is with Ankra AB under Swedish law.
Where are the data centres?
Two public zones today: Stockholm, Sweden (se-sto1) and Lille, France (fr-lil1). Resources stay in the zone you create them in.
How does billing work?
Every resource is billed by the hour at its monthly price divided by 730, and never more than its monthly price in a calendar month. Prices are in euros, excluding VAT. A card is required to create resources; your credit is spent first.
Do I need a public IPv4 address?
Usually not. Every server gets a routed public IPv6 /64. IPv4 clients can reach IPv6-only servers through a network edge, and servers reach the IPv4 internet through NAT64. When a server does need its own IPv4, it is €4.00 a month.
Can I use Terraform and my own tools?
Yes. The console, the ankra-cloud CLI, the ankraio/ankracloud Terraform provider and the MCP server all call the same public API, so anything you can click you can also script.
How is this different from Ankra Platform?
Ankra Cloud is the infrastructure: servers, storage, networks and managed services. Ankra Platform, at ankra.ai, deploys and operates applications on Kubernetes on any cloud, Ankra Cloud included. Use either on its own or both with the same account.
Pay for servers, not overhead.
€249 to try it.
Every new account gets €249 of credit for 60 days, no code needed. Add a card, and the credit is spent before the card is ever charged. Your first server is running in Stockholm or Lille within minutes.
