Equivalent services on other platforms
Managed platform-as-a-service for deploying containerised applications without managing the underlying Kubernetes infrastructure — Aruba's response to Heroku-style PaaS workflows on EU-resident infrastructure
Run containers without managing servers, with per-second billing, multi-container groups on shared hosts, and optional GPU support for ML inference workloads
Fully managed serverless container platform built on Kubernetes, KEDA, and Dapr for running microservices and APIs without managing cluster infrastructure, with scale-to-zero, traffic splitting, revisions, and built-in service discovery
Run OCI container images on Cloudflare's global network with Workers-style invocation semantics — request-driven scale-to-zero, region-aware placement, and integration with Workers, Durable Objects, and R2 for state and storage. GA on the Workers Paid plan.
Serverless execution of containerised tasks to completion on Cloud Run, with parallelism, task arrays, retries, timeouts up to 24 hours, and the same revision / VPC / IAM controls as Cloud Run services — purpose-built for nightly batch, data pipelines, and scheduled work
Fully managed serverless container platform that runs stateless HTTP services and jobs from container images with automatic scaling to zero and per-request billing
Serverless container runtime built on Kata Containers with native Kubernetes API, second-level billing, auto-scaling to zero, and seamless bursting from CCE-managed nodes for spill-over workloads
Container service that runs containers as first-class OpenStack resources via Docker, Kata, or runC backends — the platform equivalent of ECS / Container Instances for OpenStack-based private clouds, separate from the Magnum project (which provisions Kubernetes clusters)
Serverless container runtime that runs OCI Container Image-compliant workloads without managing VMs or Kubernetes, with per-second billing, up to 64 OCPUs per instance, instance pools for horizontal scale, and native VCN networking
Run containerised workloads serverlessly with autoscaling from zero, per-request billing, and HTTPS endpoints — for HTTP services that don't justify a full Kubernetes deployment
