Kubernetes platform engineering on Azure Local
A cluster is not a platform. Developers need a registry, a deployment path, secrets, ingress and guardrails. We build those on top of AKS on Azure Local.
Scope of the work
- Set up deployment from source control with GitOps
- Run a container registry and build runners on your own hardware
- Manage secrets and certificates
- Define namespaces, quotas, network policies and admission rules
- Document how a team ships a service from commit to production
- A working path from commit to running service
- Platform configuration kept in source control
- A short developer guide
Billed at $150.00 per hour. Ask Keith for an estimate.
What we check first.
Builds on premises
Self-hosted registry and runners keep builds working and code on site. We run our own this way.
One way to deploy
A single documented deployment path is easier to secure and audit than several.
Quotas early
Namespaces without quotas let one team consume the cluster.
Four steps, written down.
A call with Keith
You describe the goal, the estate and the deadline. Keith turns it into a written scope with an hour estimate at the hourly rate.
A written design by Gus
Gus reviews the environment and gives you a written design with each decision and its reason.
Hands-on implementation
Gus implements in your tenant and your racks, remotely or on site, with every change logged as it is made.
Documents and a named contact
You receive the as-built record and the runbooks. Keith stays on as your account and project manager.
Asked before every engagement.
Which GitOps tool do you use?
Flux is available as an Azure Arc extension, and Argo CD is common too. We choose with your team and record the decision.
Can you migrate existing workloads?
Yes. We containerize or move existing deployments wave by wave, the same way we plan virtual machine migrations.
What does the consulting cost?
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith sends a written hour estimate after the scoping call, and work starts when you approve it.
Often scoped together.
One rate. Two people.
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith runs sales, project management and your account. Gus does the architecture, the design and the implementation.
