Architecture review & maturity assessment
Analysis of the platform landscape and categorisation of technical and organisational areas for action.
Container. Open Source. Solutions.
Cloud-Native Platforms
Kubernetes platforms need more than running clusters – they need standards, guardrails, and a sustainable operating model. We develop the target state and deliver an actionable roadmap. Learn more
Does your operating model scale with the growth of your Kubernetes landscape?
Historically grown cluster structures increase operating effort, security risks, and coordination needs. We consolidate your platform architecture with standardised blueprints and central governance guardrails.
How you notice this in daily operations
- Organically grown clusters without a clear target state
- Missing GitOps standards
- Inconsistent deployments
- Unclear backup and DR strategy
- Inconsistent security and governance
- Platform knowledge heavily person-dependent
What we deliver
Target architecture & platform standards
Structured guardrails for namespaces, RBAC, policies, and platform boundaries – policy enforcement typically with Kyverno.
GitOps setup & automation
Traceable delivery processes with clear standards instead of individual deployments – implemented with ArgoCD or Flux.
Observability & monitoring concept
Measurable operability with defined signals, dashboards, and escalation paths – typically based on Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki.
Backup/recovery & DR strategy
Recovery strategy with clear requirements, responsibilities, and test paths – implemented with Velero.
Roadmap with prioritised measures
Actionable steps with dependencies, priorities, and realistic sequencing.
Frequently asked questions
When does a platform review make sense?
A platform review makes sense when the growth of your Kubernetes landscape is increasing operational effort disproportionately – or when deployments are becoming increasingly fragile. Typical triggers are planned migrations, rising compliance requirements, or new teams onboarding onto the platform. We analyse where the biggest levers are within a few days – without changing live systems. The result is a prioritised action plan that your team can implement independently.
How does your approach differ from pure managed service providers?
Managed services take over operations – but the architecture and operational knowledge often stays with the provider. Our focus is on building competence: artefacts, standards, and processes that your team can carry forward independently. We are vendor-neutral and recommend the tool that fits your situation – not the one we licence. After our engagement, you should be able to work without us.
Do you work with OpenShift as well, or only vanilla Kubernetes?
We work with both – upstream Kubernetes, OpenShift, Rancher, and other distributions. The architecture principles are distribution-agnostic, even though tools and configuration differ depending on the platform. With OpenShift we account for Security Context Constraints and the OpenShift-specific toolchain. What matters is the target state – not the distribution.
What do you deliver at the end – documentation, code, or both?
Both. We deliver actionable artefacts: GitOps repos, policy definitions, runbooks, architecture diagrams, and prioritised roadmaps. Everything is documented so that teams can operate the platform without us. We avoid consultant deliverables that end up in a drawer – the goal is operability from day one.
Outcome
A stable, scalable platform with clear standards, a defined operating model, and a transparent roadmap.
All artefacts are documented so that teams can operate the platform independently.
