Kubernetes # Kubernetes specialists for your dedicated team. Kubernetes is an orchestration platform that runs containerised applications across a cluster of machines, handling scheduling, restarts, scaling and networking. It is infrastructure for running software, not a framework for writing it. ## Where Kubernetes fits in a long-term product team. Kubernetes solves a real problem once you have enough services that placing them by hand stops being reasonable. It gives every team the same deployment interface, recovers from a failed node without anyone waking up, and turns scaling into a configuration change. It is also the clearest example of a platform adopted before it was needed. Three services on two machines do not need a cluster; they need a deploy script and a backup. Kubernetes brings its own kinds of incident, such as misconfigured limits, evictions and networking that behaves differently in production, and those need an owner outside the product team. ## What your dedicated team does with Kubernetes. A cluster needs an owner who is not also shipping features, because the two jobs interrupt each other and the platform always loses. Organisations that adopt Kubernetes without that person get a cluster configured once, upgraded never, and understood by whoever happens to be on call. The work is continuous: version upgrades, certificate rotation, capacity planning, and the incident that turns out to be a memory limit set in 2023\. Your [dedicated cloud and DevOps team](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cloud-and-devops-team/) looks after it continuously, with no end date. ## Common Kubernetes use cases. * One deployment path for several teams Teams shipping without each inventing their own release process, which is where platform engineering earns its cost. * Making scale a setting Capacity that follows demand, with limits set from measured behaviour. * Taking the cluster off the product team Someone owning the platform so feature engineers stop losing days to it. ## Adding Kubernetes skills to your team. Cluster work is handled by your managed DevOps team, inside your own cloud account. If you don't need Kubernetes yet, we'll recommend a simpler setup at scoping. Capacity is agreed as one committed monthly capacity for your team, not per skill. Every Kubernetes specialist we assign works remotely inside your tools as a dedicated member of your team, with the management on our side. It is how companies [hire remote developers](https://azendo.co/hire-a-dedicated-development-team-in-thailand/) without opening an offshore office of their own. ## Roles that use Kubernetes * [DevOps Engineer Cloud and DevOps](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cloud-and-devops-team/devops-engineer/) * [Platform Engineer Cloud and DevOps](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cloud-and-devops-team/platform-engineer/) * [Site Reliability Engineer Cloud and DevOps](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cloud-and-devops-team/site-reliability-engineer/) * [Cloud Security Engineer Cybersecurity](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cybersecurity-team/cloud-security-engineer/) * [DevSecOps Engineer Cybersecurity](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cybersecurity-team/devsecops-engineer/) * [Penetration Tester Cybersecurity](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cybersecurity-team/penetration-tester/) * [ML Platform Engineer MLOps engineering](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-mlops-team/ml-platform-engineer/) * [MLOps Engineer MLOps engineering](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-mlops-team/mlops-engineer/) * [Model Deployment Engineer MLOps engineering](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-mlops-team/model-deployment-engineer/) * [Software Architect Software development](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-software-development-team/software-architect/) ## Service areas that use Kubernetes * [Cloud and DevOps](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cloud-and-devops-team/) * [Cybersecurity](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cybersecurity-team/) * [MLOps engineering](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-mlops-team/) * [Software development](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-software-development-team/) Capacity is agreed across your whole team, with one monthly fee, not per skill. ## Related in cloud and infrastructure * [Terraform, a skill in our teams](https://azendo.co/skills/terraform/) * [AWS, a skill in our teams](https://azendo.co/skills/aws/) * [Azure, a skill in our teams](https://azendo.co/skills/azure/) * [GCP, a skill in our teams](https://azendo.co/skills/gcp/) * [Terraform modules, a skill in our teams](https://azendo.co/skills/terraform-modules/) * [Pulumi, a skill in our teams](https://azendo.co/skills/pulumi/) * [CloudFormation, a skill in our teams](https://azendo.co/skills/cloudformation/) * [Crossplane, a skill in our teams](https://azendo.co/skills/crossplane/) ## Tell us what you need Kubernetes for.
