Enterprise is not a fixed plan. It is a custom arrangement for organizations that need more than Pro provides. There is no self-serve Enterprise tier in the dashboard.

## What Enterprise provides

### Custom resource limits

Pro has fixed limits (3 machines, 8 CPU cores, 16 GiB). Enterprise workspaces get custom limits set per-workspace: 50 machines, 200 CPU cores, 1 TiB of memory, or whatever the workload requires. Contact us to discuss your numbers.

### Dedicated support

* Direct access to the engineering team.
* Custom onboarding and migration assistance.
* Priority issue resolution.
* Architecture review for your deployment.

### Compliance and security

Enterprise customers often require:

* **Data residency**: workloads stay in specific regions (EU, US, or custom).
* **ISO 27001** and **SOC 2** certification (planned).
* **GDPR** compliance documentation.
* **Dedicated infrastructure**: isolated control planes with no shared resources.
* **Security reviews**: we participate in your vendor assessment process.

### Flexible billing

* Annual contracts with volume discounts.
* Usage-based billing for compute beyond the included allocation.
* Consolidated invoicing across multiple workspaces.
* Custom payment terms.

## How Enterprise differs from Pro

|                    | Pro                       | Enterprise                       |
| ------------------ | ------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Price**          | €20/month fixed           | Custom (annual contract)         |
| **Limits**         | 3 machines, 8 CPU, 16 GiB | Custom per workspace             |
| **Instance types** | All provider types        | All, plus reserved capacity      |
| **Support**        | Standard                  | Dedicated engineering contact    |
| **Compliance**     | Shared infrastructure     | Dedicated option, certifications |
| **Billing**        | Monthly self-serve        | Annual, usage-based, invoiced    |
| **Onboarding**     | Self-serve docs           | Hands-on migration support       |

## Bring your own key with Enterprise

Most enterprise customers use BYOM (bring your own machine) alongside their custom limits. This combination provides:

* **No Akua compute costs**: you pay your provider directly at their published prices.
* **No compute quotas**: BYOM bypasses machine, CPU, and memory limits regardless of plan.
* **Full provider choice**: any instance type, any region, any account.
* **Akua manages Kubernetes**: cluster lifecycle, auto-scaling, monitoring, and suspend/resume.
* **Enterprise support**: dedicated engineering contact for the management layer.
* **Transparent costs**: your cloud bill is between you and your provider, visible in their console.

<Tip>
  **Zero infrastructure markup.** You bring your own cloud account (Hetzner or any supported provider). You pay that provider at their published prices. Akua charges only for the management subscription, never a percentage on top of infrastructure costs.
</Tip>

## Getting started

Enterprise arrangements are handled directly. Contact us to discuss:

* Your workload requirements (machines, CPU, memory, regions).
* Compliance needs (certifications, data residency).
* Billing preferences (annual, usage-based, invoiced).
* Migration timeline (existing infrastructure to Akua).
