Community vs Enterprise Edition

KubeLB is available in two versions: Community and Enterprise.

  • Community Edition (CE): Free, open source version that is available to the public. The CE is stable, production ready software available at https://github.com/kubermatic/kubelb
  • Enterprise Edition (EE): Only available through an active subscription. In addition to the commercial support, SLAs for the product, the EE version contains a larger feature set in comparison to the CE version.
