Kubernetes Consulting Services
SecDevOpsPro provides Kubernetes consulting services for teams in the EU, UK, United States, and Australia running production workloads on AWS EKS and GCP GKE. Our Kubernetes consultants design, build, and harden clusters with GitOps delivery, security controls, observability, and autoscaling in place from day one — then hand over runbooks and training so your engineers can operate the platform themselves.
The Kubernetes Challenge
Organizations investing in Kubernetes often underestimate the operational burden. Setting up a cluster is straightforward—maintaining it in production is where teams struggle. Between managing etcd backups, configuring network policies, implementing RBAC correctly, monitoring resource utilization, handling certificate rotation, and ensuring compliance with security standards, the complexity compounds quickly. Many enterprises attempt Kubernetes migrations only to find themselves overwhelmed by operational overhead, security concerns, and performance issues.
The challenge intensifies for teams managing Kubernetes across multiple cloud providers or hybrid environments. AWS EKS and GCP GKE each have unique characteristics, pricing models, and integration patterns. Without deep expertise, organizations waste resources on over-provisioned clusters, struggle with cross-cluster networking, and face security vulnerabilities from misconfigured workloads. For teams running EKS and GKE together, see our multi-cloud migration consulting for cross-cloud architecture strategy.
What Our Kubernetes Consulting Covers
SecDevOpsPro delivers turnkey Kubernetes solutions tailored to your infrastructure requirements, compliance needs, and team capabilities. We don't just spin up clusters—we architect production-ready Kubernetes platforms with security hardening, observability, automated scaling, disaster recovery, and comprehensive monitoring from day one. Whether you're migrating from VMs, adopting microservices, or scaling an existing Kubernetes footprint, we provide the expertise to do it right.
Platform Engineering
- ▸ Cluster architecture: HA control planes, multi-AZ deployments
- ▸ Network design: CNI selection, network policies, service meshes
- ▸ Storage orchestration: Persistent volumes, StatefulSets, CSI drivers
- ▸ GitOps implementation: FluxCD/ArgoCD for declarative deployments
Security & Compliance
- ▸ RBAC configuration: Least-privilege access controls
- ▸ Pod security: PSP/PSA, securityContext, admission controllers
- ▸ Image scanning: Vulnerability detection in container images
- ▸ Runtime security: Falco for threat detection and compliance
AWS EKS & GCP GKE Consulting
We specialize in managed Kubernetes across major cloud providers, optimizing for each platform's strengths while maintaining consistency in your deployment workflows. Our expertise spans AWS EKS for deep AWS integration and GCP GKE for Google Cloud-native workloads.
AWS EKS
- VPC-native networking
- IAM for ServiceAccounts
- EBS/EFS storage integration
- ALB Ingress Controller
- CloudWatch Container Insights
GCP GKE
- Autopilot mode optimization
- Workload Identity
- GCE Persistent Disk
- Cloud Load Balancing
- GKE monitoring & logging
Observability Monitoring
Production Kubernetes without proper observability is flying blind. We implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and tracing solutions that give you complete visibility into cluster health, application performance, and resource utilization. Our monitoring stacks integrate Prometheus for metrics, Grafana for visualization, ELK/Loki for logging, and Jaeger for distributed tracing.
Client Success: CoreData Analytic & Segmentwise
SecDevOpsPro implemented the complete CI/CD pipeline and Kubernetes deployment infrastructure for CoreData Analytic's Segmentwise platform—a data analytics SaaS product. We architected a production-grade Kubernetes cluster with automated GitOps workflows, enabling the team to deploy updates confidently and scale their data processing workloads elastically.
- Platform: Production Kubernetes with GitOps (FluxCD)
- CI/CD: Automated testing, building, and deployment pipeline
- Observability: Prometheus metrics + centralized logging
- Security: Network policies, RBAC, secrets management
- Scalability: Auto-scaling for data processing workloads
- Result: Zero-downtime deployments with full rollback capability
Auto Scaling Optimization
Kubernetes offers powerful scaling capabilities—HPA for pods, VPA for right-sizing, and cluster autoscaler for nodes—but configuring them correctly requires deep understanding of your workload patterns. We design auto-scaling strategies that balance performance, availability, and cost, ensuring your applications scale seamlessly during traffic spikes while optimizing resource usage during quiet periods.
Why Choose Our Kubernetes Consultancy
Unlike generic Kubernetes consultancies, we bring security-first principles to every cluster we build. Every Kubernetes platform includes network segmentation, Pod Security Standards, secrets encryption, admission control, and compliance automation from day one. We've architected Kubernetes infrastructure for regulated industries including healthcare, finance, and government sectors across Europe.
Our engagements include comprehensive knowledge transfer—we don't just build clusters and disappear. Your team receives hands-on training, detailed runbooks, and ongoing support to ensure they can confidently operate and troubleshoot the Kubernetes platform long-term.
Kubernetes Consulting FAQ
What do Kubernetes consulting services include?
Kubernetes consulting services cover the design, build, and hardening of production Kubernetes platforms: cluster architecture (HA control planes, multi-AZ node pools), networking and ingress, GitOps delivery with FluxCD or ArgoCD, security (RBAC, Pod Security Standards, network policies, image scanning, Falco runtime detection), observability with Prometheus and Grafana, and autoscaling with HPA, VPA, and Cluster Autoscaler. SecDevOpsPro engagements end with runbooks and hands-on training so your team can operate the platform independently.
Do you provide AWS EKS and GCP GKE consulting?
Yes. We build and operate clusters on AWS EKS (VPC-native networking, IAM Roles for Service Accounts, ALB ingress, EBS/EFS storage, CloudWatch Container Insights) and GCP GKE (Autopilot and Standard modes, Workload Identity, Cloud Load Balancing). Clusters are provisioned with Terraform so every environment is reproducible, and teams running both clouds get a consistent GitOps workflow across EKS and GKE.
Do you work with Kubernetes teams in the UK, US, and Australia?
Yes. SecDevOpsPro is an EU-based Kubernetes consultancy working remotely with clients across the EU, the UK, the United States, and Australia. All work is delivered through your Git repositories and cloud accounts, with scheduled working sessions in your time zone and written, async-first handovers, so location does not limit how we build or support your clusters.
When should you hire a Kubernetes consultancy?
Bring in a Kubernetes consultancy when you are migrating workloads from VMs to containers, when an existing cluster suffers from failed upgrades, noisy-neighbour outages, or unexplained cloud costs, when you need to pass a security or compliance audit, or when your team lacks the capacity to run Kubernetes in production. An external review typically finds misconfigured autoscaling, over-provisioned nodes, and missing network policies within the first week.
How much does Kubernetes consulting cost?
Focused Kubernetes engagements, such as a migration to EKS or GKE or a service mesh implementation, typically run €15-25K. Cost depends on the number of clusters and workloads, compliance requirements, and whether you need ongoing operational support after go-live. Every engagement starts with a free assessment so the scope and price are fixed before work begins.
