Operations & Lifecycle
Scaling Up
Scaling is handled by purchasing additional Virtual Nodes.
- Go to Dashboard -> Manage Nodes.
- Select your node type.
- Checkout via Stripe.
The system instantly updates your ResourceQuota. You do not need to restart your pods, but you may need to increase their replica count manually (`kubectl scale`).
Upgrades & Maintenance
We perform rolling upgrades of the underlying K3s nodes. Your workloads are evicted and rescheduled on healthy nodes automatically.
Important: Always run at least 2 replicas of your critical services (Deployments) to ensure zero-downtime during maintenance windows.
Suspension & Deletion
If a subscription expires:
- Day 0-15 (Grace Period): Full access. Warning emails sent.
- Day 16: Namespace suspended. Pods scaled to 0. Access blocked.
- Day 30: Data permanently deleted.
