Overview
Standardize on containers for portability, reliability and speed.
We design, implement and operate Kubernetes platforms across AKS, EKS, GKE and private clouds. From platform engineering and GitOps to supply-chain security and developer experience, we build paved roads so teams can ship faster with confidence.
What We Do
- Platform reference architecture, cluster baselines and guardrails.
- GitOps delivery (ArgoCD/Flux), Helm/Kustomize, service ingress/egress.
- Container supply chain security: SBOMs, image scanning & signing.
- Autoscaling & cost controls: HPA/VPA, cluster autoscaler, quotas.
Who It’s For
- Teams adopting microservices and modernizing apps to containers.
- Enterprises needing multi-tenant clusters with strong isolation.
- Organizations seeking a self-service internal developer platform.
- Regulated environments that require auditable controls.
Platform Architecture
A resilient, secure foundation that scales across regions and teams.
Topology
- Multi-AZ worker pools, taints/tolerations, spot/on-demand mix.
- Ingress controllers, internal/external LBs, egress patterns.
- Namespace & team tenancy, RBAC and resource quotas.
Traffic & Services
- North-south via Ingress; east-west via mesh or policies.
- gRPC/HTTP routing, retries, timeouts, circuit breaking.
- API gateways and developer-friendly service discovery.
Cluster Operations
Lifecycle management with automation and guardrails.
Provisioning as Code: Terraform modules for repeatable clusters.
Upgrades & Patching: channel strategy, phased rollouts, surge nodes.
Autoscaling: HPA/VPA, cluster autoscaler & capacity buffers.
Backups & DR: etcd/obj backups, restore drills, multi-region patterns.
Runbooks: day-2 ops, incident, change & capacity playbooks.
Cost Controls: quotas, requests/limits hygiene, scheduling policies.
App Modernization
Containerize & Refactor
- Dockerfiles & base image strategy; sidecars and init containers.
- Helm/Kustomize templates; environment overlays; secrets mounts.
- Progressive delivery (blue/green, canary) with feature flags.
Stateful & Data
- Operators & StatefulSets; CSI snapshots & backups.
- Streaming, caches and message brokers with HA patterns.
- Data migration runbooks and zero-downtime cutovers.
Security & Governance
Shift-left controls with continuous attestation.
RBAC & Tenancy: namespaces, roles, network policies, Pod Security.
Supply Chain: SBOMs, image scanning, signing/verify (e.g., Cosign).
Policy-as-Code: OPA Gatekeeper/Kyverno, mutating/validating rules.
Secrets & KMS: External Secrets/Sealed Secrets, envelope encryption.
Runtime: admission controls, Falco-style detections, baseline hardening.
Auditability: evidence automation and drift detection in CI/CD.
Observability & DevEx
Signals
- Metrics (RED/USE), logs, traces with OpenTelemetry pipelines.
- SLOs per service; burn-rate alerts and golden dashboards.
Developer Experience
- GitOps workflows, preview environments and self-service templates.
- Internal developer portal & “golden paths” for common app types.
Deliverables
Actionable artifacts that make Kubernetes safe and fast to use.
Platform Blueprint: reference architecture & landing patterns.
GitOps Repos: Helm/Kustomize templates, policies, environments.
Runbooks: day-2 ops, upgrades, DR, incident playbooks.
Security Pack: RBAC, PSS, network policies, image & secret strategy.
Observability Kit: dashboards, alerts, traces, service maps.
Onboarding Guide: golden paths, templates and CI/CD gates.
Methods & Tooling
Practices
- Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux).
- Policy-as-Code (OPA/Gatekeeper or Kyverno) integrated in CI/CD.
- Progressive delivery with canary/blue-green and release gates.
Cloud & Platform
- AKS / EKS / GKE and private Kubernetes; service mesh when needed.
- Ingress NGINX/ALB, CSI storage, ExternalDNS, cert-manager.
Tooling
- Build & CI/CD: GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Tekton.
- Observability: Prometheus/Grafana, Loki/ELK, Jaeger/Tempo, OpenTelemetry.
- Security: Trivy/Grype, Cosign, External Secrets/Sealed Secrets, Falco.
Engagement Model
Foundations in 4–8 weeks, then scale by teams and services.
Assess & plan — goals, tenancy, guardrails, GitOps repo design.
Implement — cluster baseline, ingress, security & observability.
Onboard — golden paths, CI/CD gates, first services to prod.
Operate — upgrades, SLOs, cost guardrails & continuous improvement.
KPIs We Track
FAQ
Do we need a service mesh?
Only when you need traffic policy, mutual TLS at scale, or deep telemetry. We start simple with ingress + network policies and add mesh when justified.
Can you migrate stateful workloads?
Yes. We use CSI snapshots/backups, operators, and rehearsed runbooks to move state with minimal downtime.
How do you keep clusters secure?
RBAC/namespace isolation, Pod Security, image scanning/signing, policy-as-code, secrets management, and runtime detections are built in.
Can you run in hybrid or private environments?
Absolutely. We support managed cloud K8s and private clusters with consistent GitOps flows and guardrails.
