Kubernetes for
predictable delivery

We set up and run production Kubernetes on EKS, AKS or GKE. Every change goes through Git, access rules are enforced automatically and monitoring is ready from day one, so your teams can release safely as traffic grows.

What's included

What we
build for you

6 capabilities, delivered by one squad. Use what you need now and add more as you grow.

  • 01

    Cluster architecture

    Cluster layouts for separate environments and teams, with node pools, autoscaling and secure default settings.

    • EKS, AKS and GKE ready
    • High availability and upgrades
  • 02

    GitOps delivery

    Deployments described in Git, promoted from test to production and rolled back with a record of who changed what.

    • Argo CD or Flux
    • Helm or Kustomize
  • 03

    Networking and ingress

    Ingress, DNS and TLS set up properly, with reliable connections between services and controlled traffic routing.

    • Ingress and gateways
    • Safe traffic routing
  • 04

    Security and policies

    RBAC, admission controls and network policies, plus checks on which images can run and what they do at runtime.

    • Automated policy checks
    • Supply-chain safeguards
  • 05

    Monitoring

    Metrics, logs, traces and SLO dashboards, with alerts set at levels your on-call team can act on.

    • Golden signals
    • On-call readiness
  • 06

    Cost and reliability

    Right-sized workloads and autoscaling rules, with cost reports by team and alerts when spending jumps.

    • Resource governance
    • Cost anomaly alerts

Our approach

What usually goes wrong,
and what we do instead

  1. The usual way

    Engineers change clusters by hand with kubectl, so environments drift apart and releases cause outages.

    How we do it

    Every change goes through Git and is applied by Argo CD or Flux, so environments stay in step and a bad release rolls back quickly.

  2. The usual way

    Access rules have grown out of control, and nothing checks what gets deployed or where images come from.

    How we do it

    RBAC, network policies and admission controls are set up from the start, and every image is checked before it reaches the cluster.

  3. The usual way

    Once the cluster is live, there are no SLOs, no alerts people trust and no runbooks to follow.

    How we do it

    Metrics, logs, traces, alerts and runbooks are in place before go-live, so your team can run the platform day to day.

Architecture

How it's
put together

Each layer has a clear job, so the system is easier to secure, test and extend.

  1. Layer 01

    Build

    Apps packaged as container images, built the same way every time, each with an SBOM and stored in a registry.

    • Container images
    • SBOM
    • Registry
  2. Layer 02

    Cluster foundation

    Highly available clusters with node pools, autoscaling, planned upgrades and separate environments.

    • EKS
    • AKS
    • GKE
    • Node pools
    • HPA
  3. Layer 03

    GitOps delivery

    Argo CD or Flux applies what is in Git, with canary releases for risky changes and a full history of every rollout.

    • Argo CD
    • Flux
    • Helm
    • Kustomize
    • Canary releases
  4. Layer 04

    Security and monitoring

    The same access rules, policies, alerts and SLO dashboards in every cluster, so nothing depends on one engineer's setup.

    • RBAC
    • Admission controls
    • Network policies
    • SLO dashboards

How we deliver

From first review
to live in production

4 phases, each ending with an output you can review.

  1. Step 1: Platform audit and baselines

    We review your clusters, how teams share them, networking and the gaps in day-to-day operations, then agree the target design.

    Output: Platform blueprint

  2. Step 2: GitOps and delivery standard

    We move deployments into Git, set up promotion between environments and define how releases roll out and roll back.

    Output: Traceable releases

  3. Step 3: Security and policy safeguards

    We add RBAC, admission controls and network policies, decide how secrets are stored and check images before they run.

    Output: Access and policy controls in place

  4. Step 4: SRE monitoring and operations

    We set up SLOs, dashboards and alerts on latency, traffic, errors and saturation, plus runbooks for day-to-day operations.

    Output: Platform ready for on-call

Your team

Who works
on it

Specialists join your squad for this work, alongside a delivery lead who keeps you updated.

  • Platform architect

    Designs the clusters: availability, upgrades, autoscaling and how teams and workloads are kept apart.

    • Baselines
    • Tenancy
    • Upgrades
  • GitOps lead

    Sets one way to deploy, promote and roll back for every team, so environments don't drift.

    • Argo CD
    • Helm
    • Promotions
  • DevSecOps engineer

    Puts RBAC, policies, image checks, secrets handling and runtime protection in place.

    • RBAC
    • Policies
    • Supply chain
  • SRE and monitoring lead

    Owns monitoring, alerts, tracing, cost controls and the incident process.

    • SLOs
    • Alerts
    • FinOps

Trust and control

Safe by design,
not by policy alone

  • A record of every change

    Every change, promotion and rollback is recorded in Git, so you can see who changed what and when.

  • Access controls and policies

    RBAC, admission controls and policies are enforced the same way in every environment.

  • Tenancy boundaries

    Namespaces and RBAC keep each team's workloads apart, so one team can't affect another's services.

  • SLO ownership and on-call readiness

    Each service has an owner, SLOs, alerts and a runbook before it goes live.

You keep full ownership of the code, configuration and documentation we create, with no vendor lock-in.

Tools and standards

We pick what fits your product and team, not the other way round.

It covers four stages: an audit of your current clusters, Git-based delivery with Argo CD or Flux, security controls such as RBAC and admission policies, and monitoring with SLOs, alerts and runbooks. You can start with the audit alone and decide on the rest once you can see where the gaps are.
