AWS — Containers

Kubernetes Without the Operational Tax

We design, upgrade, and run Amazon EKS clusters — with the platform work done once, properly, so your developers get a paved road instead of a Kubernetes education.

The Cluster Is the Easy Part

Standing up EKS takes an afternoon. What takes eighteen months to hurt is everything around it — the upgrade nobody wants to run, the node group sized during a load test in 2023, the fifteen Helm charts each installed by a different person.

We build the platform layer deliberately: node strategy matched to your workloads, add-ons managed as code, and an upgrade path your team can run on a schedule rather than defer indefinitely.

Where We Help

Cluster & Node Design

Managed node groups, Fargate, or Karpenter-driven capacity — chosen against your actual workload shape and your team’s appetite for operating it.

Developer Platform

Deployment paths, namespace and RBAC structure, and CI integration so shipping a service is routine instead of a ticket to the infrastructure team.

Cost & Scaling

Right-sized requests and limits, Spot where it fits, and autoscaling tuned so capacity follows demand instead of tracking last year’s peak.

Upgrades That Stop Being Events

EKS versions age out on a fixed schedule, and clusters that skip upgrades accumulate risk until the upgrade itself becomes the risk. We put add-ons under version control, test upgrades in a non-production cluster built from the same definitions, and get you onto a cadence where staying current is routine maintenance rather than a quarterly project nobody volunteers for.

Guardrails for Shared Clusters

Multi-tenant clusters fail in predictable ways: one team’s workload starves another, a permissive service account becomes a lateral path, resource limits go unset until something falls over. We set namespace boundaries, IRSA-scoped permissions, and admission policy that enforces the rules without a human reviewing every manifest.
