Enterprise Kubernetes, simple and secure

RKE2 provides a reliable foundation for production Kubernetes
clusters in on-premise, cloud and hybrid environments.
We help with architecture design, installation, a highly available
control plane, networking, storage, etcd backups
and a secure upgrade process.

RKE2 includes secure defaults and supports
configurations that make it easier to meet CIS Kubernetes
benchmarks. This makes it a suitable foundation for organisations
with higher requirements for security, auditability
and compliance.

• CIS Hardening
• Rook / Ceph
• Longhorn
• RBAC
• Network Policies
• Secrets Management

GitOps for consistent and controlled deployments

Argo CD automatically compares the desired state stored
in a Git repository with the actual state of Kubernetes clusters.
Every change remains documented and traceable
and can be easily rolled back when needed.

We design the appropriate repository structure, application
and environment separation, team permissions and change
management processes. For larger platforms, we use ApplicationSet
and reusable templates to ensure consistent management
of applications and clusters.

• GitOps
• Multi-cluster
• Helm
• Kustomize
• ApplicationSet
• Self-healing
• Rollback
• Blue-Green / Canary

Data and batch pipelines on Kubernetes

Argo Workflows enables complex processes to be modelled
and executed as Kubernetes-native workflows. Each step runs
in a separate container, making it possible to efficiently
parallelise tasks, manage dependencies and scale computing
resources according to current workloads.

The solution is suitable for data processing, ETL and ELT pipelines,
machine learning, report generation, automated
testing, media processing and other repeatable
or compute-intensive workloads.

• DAG Workflows
• Parallel Processing
• WorkflowTemplate
• CronWorkflow
• Event-driven Pipelines
• Retry & Backoff
• Artifact Management
• Workflow Observability

End-to-end CI/CD and DevSecOps

GitLab brings source code management, automated
testing, security checks, artifact creation
and release processes together in a single platform. We design pipelines
that accelerate development while maintaining control over the quality
and security of every change.

We configure GitLab Runners, caching, artifacts, container registries,
rules for individual branches and environments, as well as approval
processes for production deployments. The CI stage creates and verifies
a new artifact, while the CD stage deploys it securely through
a declarative change.

• CI/CD
• GitLab Runners
• Container Registry
• SAST
• Dependency Scanning
• Container Scanning
• SBOM
• Approval Rules

Metrics, logs and tracing in one place

A production platform must provide a clear view of the state
of both infrastructure and applications. We integrate monitoring,
centralised logging and distributed tracing so that issues
can be identified faster and their actual root causes
can be understood.

We use OpenTelemetry as an open foundation for collecting
telemetry data and combine it with tools for monitoring,
visualisation, logging and tracing.

• Prometheus
• Grafana
• Loki
• Tempo
• OpenTelemetry
• Alerting

Security throughout the entire lifecycle

We integrate security controls directly into the development
and deployment process. The goal is to identify issues before
a new artifact or configuration reaches production.

We combine Kubernetes hardening, access management,
security policies and software supply chain controls
into a single process with a clear audit trail.

• CIS Benchmarks
• RBAC
• Policy as Code
• Network Policies
• Secret Detection
• SBOM
• Image Scanning
• Audit Trail

Value does not come from using one specific tool.
It comes from connecting technologies and processes in the right way.

Kubernetes provides the platform for running applications, GitLab
automates builds and security checks, Argo CD manages
declarative deployments, and the observability stack provides
visibility into what is actually happening in production.

The result is a platform where infrastructure,
deployments, security and operations are designed as one
integrated system.
