Kubernetes Platform Build

Kubernetes is easy to install and hard to operate well. Most teams end up with a cluster that works for demos but fights them in production: no GitOps, manual deploys that nobody can reproduce, RBAC holes, and zero visibility into what is actually running.

This mission builds (or rebuilds) your Kubernetes platform the right way: infrastructure-as-code from day one, GitOps as the deployment model, and operational guardrails that let your team ship without fear.

What's included

• Cluster design: multi-environment topology, node sizing, network policy strategy, storage classes
• GitOps pipeline: Argo CD (or Flux) setup with environment promotion, drift detection, and rollback
• CI/CD integration: Jenkins or GitLab CI pipelines building to your registry with image scanning
• Infrastructure-as-code: Terraform for cluster provisioning, Ansible for bootstrap configuration
• Helm chart library: standardized application charts with sane defaults and values governance
• Operational readiness: RBAC, pod security standards, resource quotas, autoscaling, health probes
• Observability hooks: pre-wired integration points for metrics, logs, and traces

Deliverables

• Fully functional GitOps-driven Kubernetes platform (staging + production environments)
• Terraform modules and Ansible playbooks, version-controlled and documented
• Helm chart library with 5-10 application templates matching your stack
• CI/CD pipeline templates for your existing build system (Jenkins/GitLab)
• Runbook covering deployment, rollback, scaling, and disaster recovery
• Architecture decision records (ADRs) documenting every major design choice

Ideal for

Engineering teams that need Kubernetes in production but lack dedicated platform engineers, or teams whose current K8s setup grew organically and needs structure.
