Cloud-Native Consulting
We stand up Kubernetes that survives real traffic, real failure, and real audits.
Difficulty: 3 / 3
Engagement overview
We design and build Kubernetes platforms that hold up in production, not in a demo. That starts with the parts most teams get wrong under load: cluster topology, multi-zone failure domains, network policy, and a security baseline that passes review instead of postponing it.
Every cluster ships as code. Cilium for networking and policy, Karpenter for cost-aware autoscaling, Gateway API for ingress, cert-manager for TLS, and Prometheus with OpenTelemetry for signals you can actually act on. You get a platform your engineers operate confidently and an architecture we can defend line by line.

From assessment to production
- 01
Assess
Review the current estate, workloads, and constraints. Map the failure modes and the compliance surface before touching anything.
- 02
Architect
Define cluster topology, network and identity model, and the security baseline as reviewable design decisions.
- 03
Build
Provision everything as infrastructure-as-code, with reproducible modules and a GitOps reconciliation loop.
- 04
Harden
Apply policy enforcement, load and chaos testing, and the observability needed to run with confidence.
- 05
Handover
Transfer operational depth through runbooks, paired on-call, and documentation your team owns.
