CloudOps & DevOps Leadership
Practical engineering. Measurable results.
Fractional Director-level and full implementation help for a fraction of the cost. Applicable to AWS, Kubernetes, Replicated/KOTS, registries, RBAC, AI/MCP, and platform migrations. No fluff—just clear plans, clean automation, and cost results you can point to.
What we do
You get senior judgment and hands-on implementation. We design the plan, write the scripts, and ship the change with your team—clean, documented, and maintainable.
⚡
AWS Cost OptimizationRight-size, gp3 tuning, Savings Plans strategy, RDS/Aurora/S3 spend analysis. Clear dashboards and before/after numbers.
☸️
Kubernetes & EKSCluster upgrades, node pool design, autoscaling (KEDA), quotas, multi-env pipelines, GitLab runners, and on-prem Kurl clusters.
📦
Registry & Image MigrationExit Bitnami, stand up Harbor, mirror images, update Helm charts & initContainers, and build the fallback plan.
🔐
RBAC & LicensingDesign roles, enforce least-privilege, wire licensing flows, and ship enterprise-ready policies.
🛠
Platform EngineeringMake infra boring: golden AMIs/images, paved paths, scripts with real usage/help, and self-service tooling.
🚀
CI/CD & AutomationGitLab pipelines, runner hardening, artifact retention, SBOM generation, and release runbooks that people actually follow.
📈
Performance & ScaleChop idle time, fix CrashLoopers, tune probes, and speed up heavy scans and migrations.
📋
Replicated/KOTSInstall, upgrade, air-gap, TLS, license apps, and support on-prem customers without drama.
🤖
