Security Architecture
Network policies, pod security standards, secrets management, and image supply chain — threat model included.
Services / KubeDesign
Get the architecture right
before you build
KubeDesign is a structured engagement that produces a production-ready Kubernetes architecture — cluster design, security model, networking strategy, and cost estimate. Decisions, de-risked. Not code yet.
Lifecycle stage 1 / 5 · The blueprint
What's included
Every decision settled before a line ships
One coherent blueprint, not a pile of opinions. Each area is decided up front so the build has no surprises and no expensive rework.
Architecture Review
We review your existing or planned architecture against production Kubernetes best practices and identify risks early.
Cluster Design
Node pools, networking (CNI), ingress strategy, storage classes, and namespace structure — designed for your workloads.
Multi-Tenant Strategy
How to structure namespaces, RBAC, and quotas for your team topology. Prevents painful re-architecture later.
HA & Disaster Recovery
Control plane HA, etcd backup strategy, multi-zone node distribution, and RTO/RPO targets mapped to your SLAs.
Cost Modelling
Right-sizing recommendations, spot instance strategy, and cluster autoscaler config — before you spend anything.
The engagement
A structured engagement, not open-ended consulting
Three steps from requirements to a build-ready specification. Fixed scope, defined exit.
01 / Step
Requirements
Workload inventory, team structure, compliance requirements, and SLA targets. No assumptions.
02 / Step
Design & Review
We produce the architecture document — every decision, alternative, and trade-off — then walk it through with your team until it is refined and agreed.
03 / Step
Handover
An implementation-ready specification your team (or ours) can build from on day one.
Deliverables
The blueprint, documented
You walk away with a defensible plan: every decision written down with its rationale, the threat model mapped, and the cost projected — ready to hand to whoever builds it.
