Kubernetes
Container platforms on Kubernetes with delivery, scaling, and observability baselines.
Kubernetes engagements for teams that need a cluster baseline—not a science project. We stand up or harden managed Kubernetes, define workload packaging with Helm or Kustomize, and wire the deploy and observability defaults that keep day-2 operations sane.

Who it’s for
- • Teams scaling beyond single-host containers
- • Platform groups standardizing microservice runtime
- • Orgs consolidating VM sprawl onto a managed cluster
Problems we address
- • Cluster setup exists but workload delivery is inconsistent
- • No clear path for config, secrets, and rollouts
- • Metrics and logs are missing when incidents happen
Expected outcomes
- • Managed Kubernetes baseline sized to your actual needs
- • Helm/Kustomize delivery with environment overlays
- • Autoscaling, probes, and monitoring defaults
Capabilities
Concrete engineering capabilities included in a typical engagement for this service.
Cluster design on EKS, GKE, AKS, or equivalent
Workload migration planning from VMs or single hosts
Ingress, TLS, and network policy basics
Horizontal pod autoscaling and resource requests
Metrics and log collection hooks
Technology
Representative technologies used for this service. Final stack depends on your estate.

- Helm
- Kustomize
- Prometheus
- Grafana
- Terraform
Architecture
Delivery pipeline
Source control through CI into containerized deploy and cloud runtime.
Deliverables
- • Cluster baseline configuration as code where practical
- • Workload packaging for scoped services
- • Deploy documentation and rollback notes
- • Monitoring starter dashboards or datasource wiring
Out of scope
- • Hardware procurement for on-prem bare metal clusters
Timeline
Typical timeline
2–6 weeks
Timeline depends on scope, access, and dependencies—not a delivery guarantee.
Process
A clear delivery path from discovery through handover and optional support.
01
Discovery
Goals, constraints, success criteria, and current-state review.
02
Architecture
Target design, interfaces, risks, and delivery sequence.
03
Implementation
Incremental build with visible progress and documented decisions.
04
Testing
Functional checks, failure paths, and acceptance criteria validation.
05
Deployment
Controlled release to staging and production with rollback paths.
06
Handover
Runbooks, access notes, and operator/admin walkthrough.
07
Support
Optional hypercare window or retainer continuity after go-live.
Packages
Scoped offerings you can add to cart, or request a quote when the fit is custom.

FAQ
No. We recommend the simplest platform that meets your reliability and scale targets. Sometimes managed container services without full Kubernetes are a better fit.
Yes—Argo CD or Flux can be introduced when your team is ready for declarative cluster state. Not every starter engagement needs it on day one.
