DPDPA compliance now live in Mumbai

Huddle01 Cloud’s Mumbai region is live, delivers sub-20ms latency across India, and meets full DPDPA data residency requirements out of the box. It runs on the same AMD EPYC, DDR4 ECC, and NVMe hardware stack as every other Huddle01 region.

Abstract rotating orbital symbol in purple tones, centered on a voxel-style textured background.

No Kubernetes control plane fee for production clusters

Running production workloads requires the High Availability (HA) control plane, which Linode charges $60 per cluster per month. Huddle01 Managed Kubernetes includes no control plane fee at any tier. You pay only for the nodes you run, at the same per-node rate as standard virtual machines.

Green waveform symbol representing audio or real-time signals, centered on a dark textured background.

No more egress overage on high-traffic workloads

Linode pools outbound network transfer across all instances in an account and bills $0.005/GB for traffic beyond that quota. Huddle01 includes 10 Gbps unmetered egress on all plans. No pool. No overage rate. No line item at month-end that was not on the pricing page.

Managed Docker now available, no platform fee

Linode does not offer a managed Docker service. Huddle01 Managed Docker lets you push an image and ship without provisioning a cluster. Priced at $0.0084 per vCPU per hour and $0.00402 per GB per hour, with no platform fee on top. The only managed Docker offering in the market at per-resource pricing.

1

Virtual Machines with dedicated vCPUs

Every instance runs on AMD EPYC processors with dedicated vCPU allocation, DDR4 ECC registered memory, and NVMe SSD storage. No shared-core base tiers. Anton-2 through Anton-64 scale from 2 to 64 vCPUs with consistent per-second billing and no hourly floor charges.

2

Managed Kubernetes without surprises

Kubernetes clusters on Huddle01 are priced at exactly the same per-node rate as standard virtual machines. No control plane fee. No node count limits that block autoscaling. Available in Mumbai region with DPDPA compliance and sub-20ms latency across India.

3

Managed Docker without platform fees

Huddle01 Managed Docker is priced on actual resource consumption: $0.0084 per vCPU per hour and $0.00402 per GB per hour. No platform fee. Push your image, set the config, and ship. Vultr does not offer a managed Docker service.
