    Separation of Compute and Licensing (SKU Split) for Windows Server, RHEL, and Confidential Kubernetes

    Nov 3, 2025

    Starting from December 1, 2025, STACKIT will introduce an updated billing structure for Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and Confidential Kubernetes.

    Previously, these services were billed as a combined product (Compute + License). Going forward, compute resources and operating system or service licenses will be billed separately, providing greater transparency and traceability across all workloads.

    This change applies to both new and existing instances of the mentioned products. The respective pricing and SKU details are reflected in the updated service certificates.

    Further information can be found in the updated Service Certificates for

    • STACKIT Windows Server Service Certificate
    • STACKIT Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    • STACKIT Confidential Kubernetes

    STACKIT Confidential Kubernetes product is now available

    Mar 14, 2024

    We are happy to announce that STACKIT Confidential Kubernetes product is now available.

    STACKIT Confidential Kubernetes combines the advantages of the popular orchestration tool Kubernetes with the high security standards of confidential computing. The solution is based on the Kubernetes Engine Constellation by Edgeless Systems. It allows users to deploy and operate self-managed Kubernetes clusters with extensive security features without much effort. The highlight: clusters are completely isolated from the underlying cloud infrastructure and third-party access. They are completely encrypted throughout, including the storage at runtime. These properties are verifiable to third parties.
