Kubernetes Architecture Consulting
We design production Kubernetes platforms that product teams can use confidently—covering cluster topology, security, networking, GitOps, and day-2 operations across AKS, EKS, and GKE.
Problems we help solve
- Clusters launched without platform standards
- Unclear ownership between app and platform teams
- Security gaps in RBAC, network policy, and supply chain
- Painful upgrades and configuration drift
- Observability that cannot support incident response
Engagement scope
- AKS, EKS, and GKE target architecture
- Platform engineering and internal developer platform design
- GitOps and CI/CD for cluster and app delivery
- Network policy, ingress, and service mesh decisioning
- Observability with Prometheus/Grafana-compatible stacks
- Migration from VMs or PaaS to containers
Technologies
- Kubernetes
- AKS
- EKS
- GKE
- Helm
- GitOps
- Terraform
- Istio / service mesh patterns
Expected outcomes
- A supportable cluster and platform operating model
- Clearer developer self-service boundaries
- Reduced configuration drift through GitOps
- Improved security and upgrade readiness
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AKS, EKS, and GKE?
AKS, EKS, and GKE are managed Kubernetes services on Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. They share Kubernetes concepts but differ in identity integration, networking defaults, add-ons, upgrade tooling, and surrounding cloud services.
Do we need Kubernetes for every modernization program?
No. Kubernetes is valuable when you need portable container orchestration and platform leverage. Some workloads are better on PaaS, serverless, or well-managed VMs. Architecture should follow workload characteristics, not fashion.
