Hello, I wanted to clarification on licensing for Okteto. If I use the cli to deploy applications in a cluster I manage (not the self hosted option), is this considered free? Thanks, Juan

Hey @juan716 , welcome to our community! Yes, you don’t need a license if you are using the Okteto CLI on your Kubernetes cluster and don’t plan to install Okteto Self-Hosted. Hope this helps!

Hi @ramiro , thanks for the quick reply. This is just what I needed to know. Juan
