// Scale

Containerization & Kubernetes

Containers eliminate environment inconsistencies and enable portable, scalable deployment. Kubernetes orchestrates them at scale. We containerise your applications and configure Kubernetes clusters with the operational simplicity that cloud-native deployment requires.

// Key benefits

What makes this service valuable

Production-grade Docker images

Multi-stage Dockerfile builds, minimal base images, proper layer caching, security scanning, and non-root execution, Docker done right for production.

Kubernetes cluster configuration

EKS, GKE, or AKS cluster setup with proper node group sizing, namespace strategy, RBAC, network policies, and persistent storage configuration.

Helm charts and GitOps

Helm for application packaging and ArgoCD for GitOps-based deployment, declarative application state that makes deployments predictable and auditable.

// Details

Containerization that simplifies operations

Containerisation solves the most common deployment problem: environment inconsistency between development, staging, and production. Docker images are immutable, reproducible units that run identically everywhere.

Kubernetes orchestration adds scheduling, self-healing, rolling deployments, and automatic scaling, but requires careful configuration. We set up Kubernetes clusters with the complexity appropriate for your scale.

// What this includes

  • Dockerfile optimisation
  • Docker Compose for local development
  • Kubernetes cluster setup (EKS/GKE/AKS)
  • Namespace and RBAC configuration
  • Helm chart development
  • HPA and VPA for autoscaling
  • ArgoCD or Flux for GitOps deployment

// Deliverables

// In practice

How containerization & kubernetes engagements run

Multi-stage Dockerfiles produce minimal runtime images; non-root users and read-only root filesystems where possible. EKS, GKE, or self-managed K8s get HPA, pod disruption budgets, and liveness/readiness probes aligned to app startup time. Helm charts or Kustomize overlays version deployments; rollbacks are one kubectl command away.

// FAQ

Common questions about containerization & kubernetes

Do I need Kubernetes or is Docker Compose sufficient?+

Docker Compose is sufficient for single-server deployments and development environments. Kubernetes is appropriate when you need: multi-server deployment, automatic scaling, zero-downtime deployments, or complex multi-service orchestration.
