Discover, Learn, and Experience: The Qovery Playground is Now Open!
Update 4th May 2024: Better than the Playground - experience the Qovery experience on your local machine
The Qovery Playground is our gift to every DevOps professional, developer, and platform engineer who's ever wanted to try Qovery with AWS – absolutely FREE of cost. We're tearing down the barriers to entry. No AWS account? No credit card? No problem ☺️.
All you need is a bit of curiosity and a few spare minutes to experience the full range of Qovery's capabilities.
Our Goal
The objective behind launching the Qovery Playground is straightforward. We want you to be able to evaluate our platform without having to go through the rigmarole of setting up a cloud account or fretting over costs. We believe in the potential of our product and its ability to revolutionize the way you work. We're offering you an opportunity to validate that belief – on us!
How The Qovery Playground Works
Getting started with the Qovery Playground is a breeze. Register here, and you'll get access to the Qovery platform by inviting you to an existing organization. You'll have three hours to explore, experiment, and evaluate everything Qovery has to offer.
We understand that three hours might not be enough to fully grasp the depth and breadth of the Qovery platform. If that's the case, don't hesitate to contact us. We're more than happy to extend your free evaluation period to ensure you have all the time you need to appreciate the platform's potential.
Why the Qovery Playground?
The motivation for the Qovery Playground lies in our desire to make the evaluation process as simple and hassle-free as possible. It's a direct response to the constraints and impediments that often deter individuals and organizations from trying out new platforms. We aim to circumvent these limitations by eliminating the requirement of an AWS account or a credit card and replacing it with an easily accessible and user-friendly environment.
Limitations of the Qovery Playground
While we're excited about the Qovery Playground and its potential, we also recognize that it isn't a fully-fledged version of Qovery. The playground environment gives you a sneak peek into what's possible with Qovery, but some advanced features might not be accessible in the free version.
However, these limitations do not detract from the immense value you can derive from this playground environment. It still offers a near-complete Qovery experience, providing you with a firsthand perspective of our platform's capabilities and its seamless integration with AWS.
Let's go
In conclusion, the Qovery Playground is designed to break down barriers, foster learning, and enable you to explore the vast world of Qovery. With the playground, we're confident that you'll gain a clearer understanding of the value and advantages of Qovery. So why wait? All you need is a valid email address, and the Qovery Playground is yours to explore. Get started on your Qovery journey today!

The cluster coming up is the easy part. What catches teams off guard is what happens six months later: certificates expire without a single alert, node pools run at 40% over-provisioned because nobody revisited the initial resource requests, and a manual kubectl patch applied during a 2am incident is now permanent state. Agentic control planes enforce declared state continuously. Monitoring tools just report the problem.
The instinct when setting up Kubernetes observability is to instrument everything and send it all to your APM vendor. That works fine at ten nodes. At a hundred, the bill becomes a board-level conversation. The less obvious problem is the fix most teams reach for: aggressive sampling. That is how intermittent failures affecting 1% of requests disappear from your monitoring entirely.
Scaling your deployments to zero is only half the battle. If your cluster autoscaler does not aggressively bin-pack and terminate the underlying worker nodes, you are still paying for idle metal. True environment sleeping requires tight integration between your ingress layer and your node provisioner to actually realize FinOps savings.
The structure, table, tool list, and code blocks are all worth keeping. The main work is fixing AI-isms in the prose, updating the case study to real metrics, correcting the FAQ format, and replacing the CTAs with the proper HTML blocks. The tool descriptions need the "Core strengths / Potential weaknesses" headers made less template-y, and the intro needs a sharper human voice.
For years, Red Hat OpenShift has been the safe choice for heavily regulated, on-premise environments. It operates as a secure fortress. But in the public cloud, that fortress acts as an expensive prison. Paying proprietary per-core licensing fees on top of your standard AWS or GCP compute bill is a redundant "middleware tax." Escaping OpenShift requires decoupling your infrastructure from your developer experience by running standard, vanilla Kubernetes paired with an agentic control plane.
Agentic Kubernetes resource reclamation is the practice of using an autonomous control plane to continuously identify, suspend, and delete idle infrastructure across a multi-cloud Kubernetes fleet. It replaces manual cleanup and reactive autoscaling with intent-based policies that act on business state, eliminating the configuration drift and cloud waste typical of unmanaged fleets.
Kubernetes focuses on container orchestration, but the reality on the ground is far less forgiving. Provisioning a single cluster is a trivial Day-1 exercise. The true operational nightmare begins on Day 2. Teams that treat multi-cloud fleets like isolated pets inevitably face crushing YAML configuration drift, runaway AWS bills, and severe scaling bottlenecks.
