Kubernetes Orchestration

Kubernetes orchestration is for teams with many services, uneven traffic and people able to operate a cluster. The cluster is set up deliberately, described in files and handed over with written operating instructions.

Managed control plane

The setup uses the managed Kubernetes offering from your cloud provider and not a cluster assembled by hand. Running your own control plane adds work that gives a small business nothing. The provider patches it. Your team keeps its attention on the applications.

What gets set up

Workloads described in files

Deployments, services and configuration are held in your repository, so the cluster can be rebuilt from files whenever needed and does not depend on anyone’s recollection.

Ingress and certificates

Traffic is routed to the right service by hostname and path. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically.

Secrets kept out of the repository

Credentials come from a secret store or the provider’s own facility. They are never committed beside the code that reads them.

Resource limits and scaling rules

Limits per service stop one misbehaving component from starving the rest of the cluster of memory or processor time. Scaling follows measurements you agree.

Handing over an operable cluster

A cluster nobody can debug is worse than none. The handover records how to read its state, how to roll a deployment back and what each alert means. If your team still cannot operate it afterwards, we say so plainly and do not leave you dependent.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we really need Kubernetes orchestration?

Most businesses do not, and we say so before anything is set up. It earns its place when you run many services, your load varies sharply, or your team already works this way.

Which cloud providers do you work with?

The managed Kubernetes services on the major clouds. The choice usually follows where your data already sits and what your team can support.

Can our database run in the cluster?

It can, but we usually advise against it. A managed database service is easier to back up, restore and reason about when something goes wrong.

What happens if we want to move off it later?

Because the applications are containers, they can be deployed elsewhere without repackaging. The cluster definitions are the part you would leave behind.
