# Lithus

> Lithus provides managed private cloud infrastructure: production Kubernetes clusters on dedicated bare-metal servers, primarily hosted in Hetzner's German data centres, with an embedded SRE team included in the price. ~50% cheaper than AWS/GCP/Azure. Flat monthly billing from €5,000/month. No setup fee, billing starts after migration is complete. Other hosting providers available for clients requiring specific regions or configurations.

Lithus handles migration from hyperscale cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) to bare-metal Kubernetes. The service includes 24/7 on-call incident response (2-hour SLA), 2 SRE days per €5,000/month of spend, and direct Slack access to the engineering team. The infrastructure stack is open-source throughout (RKE2, Cilium, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, PostgreSQL, Kafka, MinIO) with no vendor lock-in.
