CloudSpinx

Production-Grade Kubernetes - Designed for Reliability, Not Just Demos.

We design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes clusters that actually work in production. EKS, GKE, AKS, or self-managed - with GitOps, auto-scaling, security, and observability built in from day one.

For engineering teams running containerised workloads who need production-grade Kubernetes - not a tutorial-level cluster.

The Problem We Solve

⚠ Your Kubernetes cluster was set up by someone who left, and nobody fully understands how it works.

⚠ Deployments are fragile - one bad config and the whole cluster goes down because there are no guardrails.

⚠ You are running Kubernetes but developers still cannot self-serve deployments without ops intervention.

⚠ Auto-scaling does not work properly - you are either over-provisioned or under-provisioned.

⚠ Security is an afterthought - pods run as root, secrets are hardcoded, and nobody has done a cluster audit.

⚠ Cluster upgrades are terrifying because nobody has tested the upgrade path or has a rollback plan.

What's Included

✓ Kubernetes cluster design and deployment - EKS, GKE, AKS, or self-managed (kubeadm/k3s)

✓ GitOps deployment pipelines with ArgoCD or Flux - every change tracked, reviewed, and reversible

✓ Namespace strategy, RBAC, network policies, and pod security standards enforced from day one

✓ Karpenter autoscaling - just-in-time node provisioning replacing Cluster Autoscaler for faster scaling and cost savings

✓ Crossplane for Kubernetes-native infrastructure provisioning - manage cloud resources via K8s CRDs

✓ Progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts - canary, blue-green, and A/B testing deployments with automated analysis

✓ Multi-cluster management - fleet management with Argo CD ApplicationSets or Rancher Fleet

✓ Virtual clusters (vCluster) for dev/test environments - full cluster isolation without the cost of real clusters

✓ Gateway API - next-generation Kubernetes ingress replacing legacy Ingress resources

✓ Helm chart or Kustomize standardisation - no more copy-paste YAML across environments

✓ Ingress/service mesh setup (NGINX, Istio, Linkerd) with TLS termination

✓ Monitoring stack: Prometheus + Grafana dashboards + PagerDuty/Opsgenie alerting

✓ Disaster recovery: etcd backups, Velero cluster backups, multi-AZ node groups, PDB policies, and tested failover runbooks

Engagement Process

Cluster Assessment

Audit existing cluster or gather requirements for greenfield. Architecture, security, resource utilisation, operational maturity.

Architecture & Design

Target cluster architecture with node pool strategy, networking model, storage classes, and GitOps pipeline design.

Build & Deploy

Cluster provisioned via Terraform. GitOps configured. Workloads migrated with canary or blue-green strategies.

Operationalise

Monitoring, alerting, runbooks, on-call playbooks. Knowledge transfer. Optional ongoing managed operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need Kubernetes?

Maybe not. If you have fewer than 5 services and simple scaling needs, ECS/Fargate or Cloud Run might be better. We will tell you honestly.

Can you rescue our existing broken cluster?

Yes. Cluster rescue is one of our most common engagements. We audit, stabilise, and rebuild properly.

Which Kubernetes distribution do you recommend?

EKS for AWS-heavy shops, GKE for GCP, AKS for Azure. Self-managed only for strict compliance requirements.

How do you handle secrets?

External Secrets Operator syncing from AWS Secrets Manager, GCP Secret Manager, or HashiCorp Vault. Never hardcoded.

Can your team manage the cluster ongoing?

Yes - we offer managed Kubernetes operations: upgrades, scaling, incident response, and cost optimisation on a monthly retainer.
