Containerization Services
Transform monolithic applications into lightweight, production-ready container images.
Common Challenges & Technical Drivers
- Complex Kubernetes cluster management draining developer productivity and causing deployment delays.
- Pod scheduling failures, OOM kills, and CPU starvation impacting production workloads.
- Inadequate ingress security, missing TLS certificate automation, and weak network isolation between namespaces.
- Cluster upgrade anxiety due to lack of automated node pool rolling updates and staging test beds.
What Is Included (In-Scope Deliverables)
- Production-grade managed Kubernetes cluster setup (AWS EKS, GCP GKE, or Azure AKS) using Terraform.
- Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) and event-driven autoscaling (KEDA) configured for workload spikes.
- Production Ingress Controller (Nginx, Traefik, or AWS ALB) with automated Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certs.
- Namespace role-based access control (RBAC), resource quotas, and network security policies.
Scope Boundaries & Transparent Exclusions
- Underlying cloud compute instance, node pool, and network egress billing.
- Refactoring legacy monolithic software architectures not designed for container execution.
- Third-party software SaaS license subscriptions (e.g., Datadog, New Relic).
- 24/7 incident response operations unless covered by a managed operations agreement.
Tangible Engineering Deliverables
- Declarative Terraform modules for cluster, VPC, and worker node pool lifecycle management.
- Version-controlled Helm charts or Kustomize manifests for application workloads.
- Ingress configuration with automated TLS certificate renewal and DNS integration.
- Cluster operations guide detailing node rotation, zero-downtime upgrades, and debugging procedures.
