At launch
Launching soon
A real cluster.
Not a simulation.
Klastro starts an isolated Kubernetes cluster in seconds. You do the work inside it, and your result is graded automatically.
The technologies you actually operate during a session
Why Klastro
Nobody learns to fix a cluster by ticking boxes
An engineer picking up Kubernetes has two unsatisfying options. Quiz platforms confirm they memorised the syntax of a manifest, never that they can bring a cluster back up. Demo labs lend them a terminal for twenty minutes and grade nothing: they leave without knowing whether they got it right.
The same gap exists in hiring. A technical interview ends on an impression, or on an algorithm exercise that says nothing about diagnosing a pod that refuses to start. Teams hiring cloud-native engineers know this, and work around it with homegrown tests that are slow to write and impossible to compare between candidates.
Those are two symptoms of one hole: there is no real, disposable infrastructure that a machine can grade. Klastro is that engine. It brings up a dedicated cluster in seconds, lets someone work in it without a safety net, then reads the cluster’s actual state to establish what is done and what is not.
A disposable cluster, graded on its real state. Learning and assessing are then just two ways of looking at the same session.
The category
Quiz platforms test recall. Demo labs grade nothing.
Klastro sits at the intersection of the two: real isolated infrastructure, work that is graded automatically, and a single engine that serves both training and hiring.

From scenario to result, in three moves
Klastro handles the infrastructure. What is left is the work itself.
-
Pick a scenario
A catalogue of cloud-native scenarios, or your own. Each one defines its environment type, the tasks to complete, and the validation rules that grade them.
-
Open the environment
A dedicated cluster starts in seconds. Terminal, editor and notes open in the browser. Nothing to install locally.
-
Collect the result
Validation rules run against the real cluster state. Learners see their progress, hiring teams get a score they can defend.
Four formats, one engine
Choose how you work
The same real infrastructure, framed around what you are trying to do.
Graded automatically
Challenges
A failure to fix, an objective to reach. Validation rules read the real cluster state and the score lands immediately.
- Visible score
- Attempt history
At launch
Open, no objective
Playgrounds
An empty cluster, yours. To test a change, reproduce an incident or prep a demo, without building a local environment.
- No imposed tasks
- Ready in seconds
At launch
For hiring teams
Enterprise Assessments
Ordered scenarios under a global timer, live supervision, a score hidden from the candidate, and an exportable report. Grading reads the real cluster state, not a quiz answer.
- Supervised sessions, exportable report
- Private scenarios, SSO, EU data residency
Five environments, provisioned on demand
The scenario picks the machine it needs, and you configure nothing. Four of the five give each machine its own kernel, behind hardware isolation.

Pricing
Three self-serve plans, and a contract for enterprises
A real lab burns real resources. Lab time is metered in credits, and no overage is ever invoiced.
Community
Free
10 credits, granted once
Enough to touch real infrastructure and find out whether the format suits you.
- Tutorials, challenges and playgrounds
- Community scenarios from the catalogue
- Welcome credits go to the founder once and are never renewed
- Invited members start with no credits
Pro
€25 per seat, per month
or €250 per seat per year, which is two months free
60 credits per seat, per month
The full catalogue, for every member holding a seat.
- Everything in Community
- Every community and Pro scenario
- Seats your admins assign and reassign across the team
- Credits reset to the grant each month; unused credits do not roll over
Instructor
€50 per seat, per month
or €500 per seat per year, which is two months free
100 credits per seat, per month
Everything in Pro, plus what it takes to author scenarios and run sessions.
- Everything in Pro
- Scenario Studio: author, preview and publish your own scenarios
- Instructor-led cohorts, built from reusable tracks
- 3 cohort places included per cohort
- Give credits from your personal balance
On every plan
- Labs draw 1 to 6 credits an hour, depending on the environment
- Starting a lab needs one hour of its credits in your balance
- Labs pause when credits run out. Paused time is not charged, and no overage is invoiced
- One running lab per scenario for each member
- Any member can redeem a credit voucher
Enterprise Assessments
CustomA contract, set up with our team rather than bought online. It is the only offering that opens proctored hiring assessments.
- Proctored assessments, with scoring and reports only your recruiters see
- Graded by validation rules against real cluster state, reproducible task by task
- Every scenario for every member, with no seats to assign
- Scenario Studio, SSO and private scenarios
- Concurrent lab capacity agreed in your contract
- Per-session network isolation, data hosted in the EU
These are the product’s prices. The service is not open yet, so nothing can be bought online today.

Common questions
What people ask us before we open.
- When does Klastro open?
- In waves, and without announcing a date we could not hold. The engine already starts clusters; what is left is the launch catalogue and account handling. People who request early access come in first.
- What happens if I request early access?
- You email us and we reply. No form, no tracker, no mailing list: mostly we want to know what you are trying to do, because that decides the order in which we finish the scenarios.
- What exactly is a credit?
- A credit is lab time. The hourly cost depends on the environment: a vcluster burns less than a two-node kubeadm cluster, because it uses fewer resources. Your balance will be visible at all times in the dashboard.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. The terminal, the editor and the instructions all open in the browser. You need a connection and nothing else.
- Where will my data be hosted?
- In the European Union. Session clusters, the database and the backups all stay in the EU, and every session gets its own isolated network space.
- Is this suitable for CKA, CKAD or CKS prep?
- That is one of our launch goals. Scenarios run on real clusters and are graded against actual cluster state, the way a practical exam works, and timed challenges reproduce the time pressure. Klastro prepares you for those exams; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Linux Foundation.
