Looking to accelerate your Kubernetes journey and avoid rabbit holes?
We make the journey of adopting and implementing Kubernetes smoother and faster helping you gain:
- Improved scalability and availability
- Faster & more reliable development cycles
- Sustainable cost optimisations across your IT estate
- Flexibility with multi-cloud options
What is Kubernetes?
After Linux, Kubernetes is the fastest growing open-source project in history and we’ve been big fans for a number of years!
Kubernetes (K8s) takes care of operations, management and keeping application services healthy, ultimately freeing developers up to focus on what really matters – building their applications! Even so, experience shows that K8s is a complex technology which is still some way off from being a turnkey solution. Indeed, one only has to look at the Zoo of Technologies that accompanies the Kubernetes ecosystem to recognise there is a fair amount of stitching together required to achieve a cohesive and meaningful end outcome. From GitOps to observability tooling, to security and storage solutions, finding your way can be a challenge.
The benefits if implemented correctly however are many. This includes being able to do push-button deployments, execute native blue-green deployments and gain genuine self healing solution capabilities. But the learning curve is steep. Which is why having real world experience and deep expertise is often the key to success!
How We Can Help
Our experience with Kubernetes dates back before the 1.0 release. You could say we’ve delivered a fair few complex Cloud Native and Platform Engineering projects underpinned by Kubernetes. We’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and understand what it takes to get this right!
We understand that it can be difficult for teams to learn and master Kubernetes, let alone the significant upfront investment of time and resources often required by organisations to implement and manage it.
Our approach is always tailored and pragmatic. We focus on our client’s unique business needs and goals. We work alongside and with your teams, we don’t overtake them.
Offerings
Strategic Consulting & Architectural Reviews
Our independent reviews help leaders with due diligence and assessment type requirements, including understanding whether solutions have been architected appropriately to meet key business and technical objectives – and if not, what options exist to address and rectify them.
Upskilling & Guided Hands-on Delivery
We provide targeted leadership and guidance to ensure delivery and teams remain on track, as well as hands-on design and implementation skills. We aim for empowerment which includes mentoring, upskilling and demonstrating best practice through practical application and actual doing. We get stuff done, and we get it done right.
Platform Engineering & IDP Development
We aid organisations in designing and developing IDPs to create appropriate abstractions over K8S and the broader ecosystems in use. This includes automation, empowerment and creating organisational efficiencies across key engineering areas such as infrastructure and environment provisioning and CI/CD amongst others.
Operational Guidance & Assessments
Just starting out, or unsure if your K8S cluster is appropriately setup and configured for your unique context?We help you assess and ensure your K8S clusters can operate efficiently and effectively given your unique context. From single clusters to multi-tenant setups, we can help guide you through your options.
