Kubernetes & AWS EKS Consulting

Get Kubernetes working the way it was supposed to — without your team spending months figuring it out.

Kubernetes is powerful but operationally complex. Teams that adopt it without deep experience quickly accumulate debt: oversized nodes, no autoscaling, poor secret management, and RBAC configurations nobody understands. Or they're stuck on ECS, aware that Kubernetes would serve them better but unsure how to migrate without breaking production.

I provide hands-on Kubernetes and EKS expertise — from initial cluster setup to production-grade operations — so your team gets the benefits without the war stories.

What You Get

EKS cluster setup with production-grade configuration: managed node groups, Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler, IRSA, and VPC CNI
ECS to EKS migration planning and execution with zero-downtime cutover strategy
Helm chart development and management for your applications
GitOps workflow setup with ArgoCD or Flux
Kubernetes RBAC design and namespace isolation strategy
Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and Vertical Pod Autoscaler configuration
Monitoring stack: Prometheus + Grafana + alerting rules
Cluster cost optimisation: right-sizing, spot instances via Karpenter, and resource request tuning
Runbook and operational documentation for your team

How It Works

Discovery (1–2 days) — Assess your current container workloads, traffic patterns, team Kubernetes experience, and migration constraints
Architecture design — Agree on cluster topology, node group strategy, networking (VPC CNI vs. custom), and deployment tooling
Implementation (2–4 weeks) — Build and validate the cluster, migrate workloads incrementally, and establish operational practices
Handover — Documentation, alert runbooks, and a live session with your team

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your team's operational capacity and workload complexity. ECS is simpler to operate and excellent for most workloads. EKS is the right choice when you need advanced scheduling, multi-tenancy, or ecosystem tools that only run on Kubernetes. I can help you make the right call for your specific situation — not the trendy one.

Yes. Cluster audits and remediation are a common engagement — covering node group configuration, RBAC, resource requests, autoscaling, and cost.

My primary focus is EKS on AWS. For workloads on GKE or AKS, I can contribute but recommend a specialist for those platforms.

All engagements include documentation and a handover session. For teams newer to Kubernetes, I can structure the engagement as a collaborative build — working alongside your engineers so knowledge transfers in real time.
