Kubernetes for production: from first cluster to predictable scale

We shape control plane and workers, networking and secrets, policies and observability — not a bare Helm install, but configuration for your SLOs, security, and release discipline.

What we do

Cluster architecture

Topology, node pools, network policies, Ingress and TLS, multi-AZ/region — balancing cost and resilience.

Security & delivery

RBAC, images and registry, signing, admission policies, GitOps/CI — repeatable, auditable releases.

Reliability & ops

HPA/VPA, PDB, resource quotas, alerts and dashboards, runbooks — incidents come with a map.

How we work

  • 1.

    Inventory: current stack, SLAs, team skills, what is already on Kubernetes and what we migrate.

  • 2.

    Design: naming, namespaces, quotas, networking, secrets, upgrade and rollback strategy.

  • 3.

    Rollout: cluster/add-ons, pipelines, baseline charts, migrate services by priority.

  • 4.

    Stabilize: load tests, resource budgets, documentation, handover or ongoing support.

What you get

  • Target architecture description and component list (with versions).
  • Manifest/Helm configs or a GitOps repo with history.
  • RBAC matrix and recommendations for secrets and policies.
  • Release checklists, alerts, runbooks for common incidents.

Engagement models

From a focused review of an existing cluster to a full migration project. Scoped by environments, services, and security/compliance needs.

Can combine with load testing and High-Load services to validate growth with numbers.

Kubernetes FAQ

EKS, GKE, AKS, on-premises (kubeadm, kubespray, Rancher, and similar). We pick based on your cloud commitments and team skills.

Not always. We decide based on service count and mTLS/tracing needs; sometimes Ingress and policies are enough.

Yes — phased, with stateful workloads, backups, and downtime windows in mind.

Yes — retainer or incident response with agreed SLA.

Yes: segregation, audit, encryption, Pod Security-style controls within your requirements.

Pilot cluster and first services — from a few weeks; full migration of a mid-size product — months, depending on legacy.
