IONOS offers greater flexibility and simplicity for users to choose the server type as either Dedicated Core or vCPU for their Managed Kubernetes nodes. You can also choose to update the server type even after the node pool creation. This capability is supported both via the DCD and the API. To support this function, in the DCD, you see the new field Server type in the Node Template section while creating a Kubernetes node pool.

IONOS announces the upcoming phasing out of AMD Opteron servers in the Frankfurt (de/fra
) data center. This decision is part of our ongoing efforts to improve the product and align it with more efficient and future-proof solutions.
Alternative options: For continued functionality, you can transition to Dedicated Core server with AMD Epyc CPU architecture or to a vCPU Server. You can manually change to one of these options from April 1, 2025, until May 13, 2025. Starting on May 13, 2025, eligible systems running AMD Opteron-based Compute Engine workloads will automatically begin transitioning to AMD Epyc processors within the Frankfurt location.
