Frequently Asked Questions
We have no Kubernetes experience. Is that okay?
Absolutely. We'll implement a production-ready cluster and train your team. Many of our clients start with zero Kubernetes knowledge.
What about our existing VMs and bare metal?
We can containerize existing workloads or run them alongside Kubernetes. We'll recommend the right approach for each service.
How do you handle the transition period?
We run old and new systems in parallel until migration is complete and validated. No big-bang cutovers.
What Kubernetes distribution do you recommend?
We typically use EKS, GKE, or AKS for managed Kubernetes. For on-premises, we work with k3s, RKE2, or OpenShift.
How much will this improve our deployment process?
Teams typically go from weekly or monthly deployments to multiple daily deployments. The exact improvement depends on your current state.
Security & Access
Platform modernization requires careful security planning. We implement network policies, RBAC, pod security standards, and secrets management from day one—not as an afterthought.
