Let's discuss how we can help you achieve your Kubernetes goals
Get Started TodayKubernetes Case Studies
Platform Engineering - Modernizing and Migrating a 20,000-CPU Mission System with Kubernetes
We helped a U.S. national security organization modernize a 20,000-CPU mission system by migrating to Kubernetes using the strangler pattern. Through platform engineering, developer enablement, and observability, we reduced compute by ~50%, cut deployment windows from 4-5 hours to ~15 seconds, shrunk build cycles from ~10 hours to ~30 minutes, and enabled 15-20 minute environment provisioning, all within a secure, air-gapped environment.
Platform Engineering - Scaling Kubernetes for Multi-Client Mainframe Modernization with Zero-Trust Architecture
We helped a $100M+ mainframe modernization startup transform their platform architecture from Google Cloud-only hosting to a cross-cloud solution. By implementing zero-trust access with Teleport, Cloud Development Environments with Coder, and GitOps with Argo CD, we enabled them to deploy their platform directly into client environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) while ensuring secure IP protection and automated platform bootstrapping.
Platform Engineering at Scale - Leveraging Kubernetes to enable Self-Service, Observability & Enterprise Readiness
We helped a $1B+ business services provider scale their Kubernetes platform from initial deployment to enterprise readiness. Through Platform-as-a-Product consulting, GitOps automation, distributed monitoring, and team upskilling, we enabled automatic cluster deployment in minutes and multiple builds per hour with minimal friction, serving 25 applications across 10 clusters.

What Kubernetes distributions do you support?
We support all major Kubernetes distributions:
- Amazon EKS - AWS-managed Kubernetes
- Google GKE - Google Cloud’s managed Kubernetes
- Azure AKS - Microsoft’s managed Kubernetes
- Red Hat OpenShift - Enterprise Kubernetes with integrated developer tools
- Rancher (SUSE) - Multi-cluster Kubernetes management
- VMware VKS - vSphere Kubernetes Service on VMware Cloud Foundation
For VMware-specific needs, visit our dedicated VKS services page.
How do you handle migration between Kubernetes distributions?
We offer two complementary services for inter-distribution migration:
- Workload Migration: For containerized workloads moving between distributions (e.g., OpenShift to VKS, EKS to GKE, AKS to EKS). We handle CI/CD pipeline adjustments and rollback planning.
- Workload Replatforming: For workloads needing deeper changes, such as adapting distribution-specific configurations (e.g., OpenShift operators to Helm charts) or containerizing VM-based workloads.
We support migration between any combination of Kubernetes platforms, assessing your workload portfolio and identifying the right approach for each application.
How does Kubernetes consulting connect to Platform Engineering?
- Our Kubernetes services are part of our broader Platform Engineering practice. Kubernetes is the foundation, and Platform Engineering builds the complete developer experience on top of it - including developer portals, golden paths, self-service infrastructure, and more. Whether you need distribution-specific Kubernetes expertise or a full internal developer platform, we bring the same proven framework to every engagement.
Do you provide ongoing support or just project-based work?
- Both. Our Resident Experts and SRE Services provide ongoing support and augmentation, while services like Kubernetes Activation and Health Check are project-based. Many clients start with a project engagement and transition to ongoing support as their platform matures.
How do you handle upgrades across different Kubernetes distributions?
Our Get Up To Date service handles upgrades across all supported distributions:
- Version upgrades with distribution-specific considerations (e.g., EKS managed node group updates, OpenShift OTA channels, VKS lifecycle management)
- Security patching and compliance maintenance
- Performance optimization and capacity planning
We plan upgrades carefully with rollback strategies, execute during maintenance windows, and validate everything works correctly. We can also train your team to handle future upgrades independently.
