Kubernetes Consulting Services for EKS, GKE, AKS and On-Prem
ARTechOps designs, builds and hardens Kubernetes clusters on AWS EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS and self-managed infrastructure. We containerise applications, package them with Helm, deploy them through GitOps with ArgoCD, and add autoscaling, security policies and monitoring.
What our Kubernetes consulting covers
Kubernetes is powerful, but a cluster set up from a tutorial rarely survives real traffic, real security reviews or real upgrades. We help teams decide whether Kubernetes is the right fit at all, and when it is, build clusters that are reproducible, secure and observable from day one.
Work typically includes cluster design on a managed service (EKS, GKE or AKS) or on-premise, containerising applications, writing Helm charts, setting up ArgoCD or Flux for GitOps deployments, and configuring ingress, TLS, autoscaling and resource limits. On the security side we apply RBAC, network policies, image scanning and secrets management.
For existing clusters we run health and security reviews, fix noisy or missing alerts, and plan version upgrades so they stop being something the team avoids.
Who this is for
- Teams moving from Docker Compose or virtual machines to Kubernetes
- Companies with an existing cluster that is hard to upgrade or debug
- SaaS products that need autoscaling and zero-downtime deployments
- Organisations that need Kubernetes on-premise or in a hybrid setup

How a Kubernetes Consulting engagement works
- Free architecture reviewA 30-minute call to understand your stack, delivery bottlenecks and goals. No obligation.
- Assessment and written planWe audit the relevant systems and send a prioritised plan with scope, timeline and fixed or monthly pricing.
- Implementation in your repositoriesAll work is done as code through pull requests in your Git repositories, so every change is reviewable.
- Handover and supportRunbooks, documentation and a walkthrough for your team, with optional ongoing support afterwards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we actually need Kubernetes?
Not always. For a small number of services, managed containers or virtual machines with a good pipeline can be simpler and cheaper. We recommend Kubernetes when you need autoscaling, many services or portability across environments.
Which Kubernetes platforms do you work with?
AWS EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS and self-managed clusters on virtual machines or on-premise hardware.
Can you migrate our applications to Kubernetes?
Yes. We containerise each application, write Helm charts, set up GitOps deployment and move services over one at a time with a rollback path.
