The right infrastructure for your containers

Docker runs anywhere – and it runs well on infrastructure that suits your workload. centron offers the full range: from Docker hosts to Kubernetes clusters.

A Docker host in seconds

Deploy a ccloud³ VM running Linux, install Docker, start containers – the quickest way to set up individual applications, Compose stacks and development environments.

Orchestration as it grows

When containers are turned into microservices, Kubernetes, with cStack, takes care of auto-scaling, self-healing and load balancing – without the need to change platforms.

Persistence sorted out properly

Volumes provide NVMe block storage for databases and stateful containers, whilst S3 Object Storage stores artefacts, uploads and backups – both independently of the container lifecycle.

Visibility included

Advanced Monitoring displays container metrics, utilisation and availability – issues are spotted before users even notice them.

From the Compose stack to the cluster

A growth trajectory without a change of platform

Today: a VM with Docker Compose for your application. Tomorrow: multiple hosts behind a load balancer in a VPC. The day after tomorrow: Kubernetes orchestrates your containers with auto-scaling and zero-downtime deployments. Every step uses the same console, the same API, the same volumes – Docker hosting that grows with your architecture.

Docker Hosting FAQ

Everything you need to know about Docker hosting

How do I get started with Docker at centron?

Deploy a ccloud³ VM running Linux, install Docker, start a container – your first stack will be up and running in just a few minutes. Root access and a free choice of distribution are included.

When should I switch to Kubernetes?

When multiple services, automatic scaling or zero-downtime deployments become essential. The switch can be made without a change of platform – Kubernetes with cStack runs on the same centron infrastructure from €29.99 per month.

How do I handle persistent data for containers?

With Volumes: NVMe block storage from €0.05/GB, which exists independently of the container lifecycle. S3 Object Storage handles artefacts, uploads and backups via the S3-compatible API.

Can I host private container images?

Yes – run your own registry on a virtual machine or use S3-compatible storage as a backend. Our team will advise you on the right solution for your workflow.

Does Docker Compose run on centron?

Of course – on your VM with root access, you can use Docker, Compose and your usual tools without any restrictions.
