KubeBolt Cloud
Managed KubeBolt at app.kubebolt.io — nothing to host, with a Free plan and Kobi Autopilot in open beta.
KubeBolt Cloud is the managed offering of KubeBolt, the Kubernetes operations platform: the same core, run by us at app.kubebolt.io, plus the features that only exist there. You connect clusters with the agent exactly as documented in Connecting Clusters — the agent only ever dials outbound, so no inbound access to your clusters is required.
Sign up with email or social login (Google, Microsoft, or GitHub). Free and Team are available today; Business and Enterprise arrive in stages — see the public roadmap.
Open source vs Cloud
| Open source (self-hosted) | Cloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Core platform — dashboards, insights, security findings, actions, multi-cluster | ✅ Apache 2.0, free forever | ✅ |
| Kobi Copilot — you ask, Kobi answers and proposes actions you approve | ✅ With your own LLM key (Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible API) | ✅ Managed, no key to configure |
| Kobi MCP server (read-only) | ✅ | ✅ |
| AI usage | You pay your provider directly | AI credits included per plan |
| Kobi Autopilot — Kobi acts on its own, you approve the destructive part | — | ✅ Open beta, from the Free plan |
| Hosting, upgrades, backups | You | Us |
| Sign-in | Local users and passwords | Email and password, or Google, Microsoft and GitHub |
| Teams & organizations | One organization, a single default team; Viewer / Editor / Admin roles | Organizations and teams with roles |
The open-source core is not a demo — it’s the same engine, including Kobi Copilot, and it stays Apache 2.0. Cloud is for teams that would rather not run it themselves, and for Kobi Autopilot.
Kobi Autopilot (open beta)
Kobi Autopilot is Kobi’s autonomous mode: it investigates an incident and, within the policy your team sets, remediates it. It runs only on Cloud and is in open beta from the Free plan. It ships with deliberate guardrails:
- Off until you turn it on — each organization opts in explicitly, and it starts in suggest-only mode.
- Unattended time window — you define when it may work on its own, with a real timezone. Outside the window, incidents are parked and visible, not silently worked.
- Destructive actions always require human approval, in every mode.
- Dedicated credits — Autopilot has its own credit metering, and a unified usage view covers Kobi and Autopilot together.
Autopilot is a Cloud feature. In the open-source distribution, Kobi Copilot proposes and you approve — see Actions & Governance.
AI credits
Cloud plans include AI credits consumed by Kobi Copilot conversations and Autopilot runs; there is no bring-your-own-key on Cloud. Usage is visible in the unified AI hub. When a plan’s monthly credits run out, Kobi pauses until the next month — the non-AI parts of the product keep working.
