SP// CONTAINERS
Deploy applications closer to end-users than ever before.
Ultra-Low Latency
Bandwidth Optimization
Multi-cloud Support
Control & Cost Effectiveness
Latency isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive. And the physical distance between hyper-scale cloud data centers and your end-users might not seem big, but every mile matters to applications that measure performance in units smaller than milliseconds.
SP// Containers have the edge that latency-sensitive applications need. Enjoy all of the performance and efficiency benefits of containerization from cloud computing, compounded by the advantage of being in StackPath edge locations worldwide. Exciting? We know. So please contain yourself.
Use Cases
SP// Virtual Kubelet Provider
Expand your Kubernetes Cluster to the edge. Use StackPath orchestration to provide Virtual Kubelet in your existing K8S infrastructure closer to end users.
Temporary Workloads
Easily scale infrastructure up and down or in and out to meet short-term workload needs with speed, agility, and exceptional cost effectiveness.
Low-latency Application Servers
Configure and control container images to run multiple applications and make it exactly the web server, game server, database node or other low-latency solution you require.
Ultra-low Latency
Deploy containers in any of 22 edge locations, part of our global platform of 73 geographically diverse locations connected by a private network backbone. End-user data can reach our containers up to 2.6x faster than public cloud containers, and data can move between edge locations 21% faster than if routed over the public Internet.
Bandwidth Optimization
Optimize how much data your workload has to move around the internet by having it processed and returned closer to end-users, reducing total bandwidth usage and minimizing data corruption and vulnerability inherently to data in transit.
Seamless Multi-cloud Support
Complement and even integrate services from one or more legacy cloud providers with containers designed for vendor neutrality and industry-standard compatibility to avoid vendor lock-in and find new optimization levels by combining the advantages of core cloud and edge computing.
High Scalability and Flexibility
Leverage Anycast IP addresses and autoscaling to meet demand spikes, route traffic to the fastest-responding VMs, and establish other sophisticated methods to ensure instances are not overloaded, all requests are served promptly, and your operations run efficiently.
More Control and Cost-effectiveness
Simplify operations by deploying to a fully managed environment with instant deployment, no clusters to deal with, a robust and open RESTful API, support for CI/CD environments and existing DevOps tools like Terraform and direct control over CPU, memory, disk resources and location.
Key Features
OCI Image Support
Deploy Open Container Initiative-compliant container images built in your preferred development environment, like Docker or other industry-standard tools. Simply point to your image uploaded to Github or upload it directly to our platform.
Instant Deployment
Have containers running in any or all StackPath edge locations in seconds with a single click or API call.
Anycast IP Addresses
Add Anycast IPs to automatically distribute end-user/client traffic to your fastest-responding container, with traffic being routed more efficiently over our edge networks private network backbone.
Auto-scaling
Seamlessly scales the configured images across PoPs during periods of high demand to ensure application availability without any service degradation.
CI/CD Support
Push changes to containers with CLI tools that integrate with your existing continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, reducing the risk of code changes to mission-critical workloads.
Management API
Leverage our robust and open RESTful API to automate any aspect of deploying and managing your workload.
L3-L4 DDoS Protection
Detect and mitigate L3-L4 volumetric attacks for container workloads on SP// Edge Compute with automated detection of 99% of attacks within seconds. DDoS scrubbing is built into each edge location and happens in line with the traffic, adding no additional latency for clean traffic.
Support Plans
Our optional Silver, Gold, and Platinum Support Plans provide increasing levels of our acclaimed customer and technical support, so that you tailor the level of engagement and assistance you need from StackPath to your specific workload and internal skill levels and resources.

Our Platform
Powering all of StackPath is a high-performance, fully automated, and completely secure global platform that seamlessly integrates best-in-class orchestration, hardware infrastructure, and network architecture.
Edge Locations
73 edge locations strategically deployed where customers’ end-users are most densely concentrated. Unlike legacy providers’, each location is a complete deployment of our computing, networking, and orchestration stack.
EdgeEngine™
Our orchestration engine provisions and manages all aspects of SP// edge IaaS, edge applications, and accounts, and puts the whole StackPath platform at customers’ fingertips via an easy to use customer portal and comprehensive APIs.
Edge Network
Our multi-dimensional network provides high-speed throughput (with up to 95% of all traffic handed directly to last-mile networks) and exceptional total egress capacity (100+Tbps). Also, it keeps data off the public internet as long as possible.
Pricing
StackPath Containers are billed based on the number of containers running in each location. Usage is calculated by the second after a 5-minute per container minimum. Sign up and get started or request a demo today.
