SharkOps

Kubernetes Consulting & Platform Operations

Build, upgrade, and operate resilient clusters with GitOps and observability.

Problems We Solve

Common Kubernetes challenges that put uptime and velocity at risk

Cluster Drift

Clusters configured differently across environments, leading to unpredictable behavior and hard-to-reproduce bugs.

Manual Deployments

kubectl-driven workflows that bypass review, lack audit trails, and introduce human error into production.

Upgrade Risks

Kubernetes version upgrades delayed or skipped because of fear of breaking workloads and losing availability.

Ingress & Certificate Issues

Misconfigured ingress controllers and expired TLS certificates causing outages and security warnings.

Observability Gaps

No visibility into pod health, resource utilization, or request flows across services in the cluster.

Service Scope

End-to-end Kubernetes lifecycle management and platform operations

Cluster Setup & Architecture

Design and provision production-grade clusters on EKS, AKS, GKE, or bare-metal with best-practice configurations.

GitOps Pipelines

ArgoCD and Flux-based deployment workflows with declarative config, drift detection, and automated sync.

Version Upgrades

Safe, tested Kubernetes version upgrades with pre-flight checks, rollback plans, and zero-downtime strategies.

Workload Migration

Migrate workloads from VMs or other orchestrators to Kubernetes with containerization and Helm chart packaging.

Security Hardening

RBAC, network policies, pod security standards, and runtime security for compliance-ready clusters.

Tools & Technologies

Kubernetes Helm ArgoCD Terraform Prometheus Grafana Istio Flux

Delivery Model

A structured approach to Kubernetes platform maturity

1

Assess

Review cluster architecture, workloads, security posture, and operational readiness.

2

Design

Define target architecture, GitOps workflows, networking, and observability stack.

3

Implement

Build clusters, deploy GitOps pipelines, configure monitoring, and migrate workloads.

4

Operate

Ongoing cluster management, upgrades, incident response, and capacity planning.

Outcomes You Can Expect

Faster Release Flow

GitOps-driven deployments that let developers ship changes in minutes, not days, with full audit trails.

Better Uptime

Properly configured clusters with auto-scaling, health checks, and self-healing that maintain high availability.

Reduced Platform Risk

Hardened clusters with RBAC, network policies, and timely version upgrades that keep your platform secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cluster types do you support?
We work with all major managed Kubernetes services including Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE. We also support self-managed clusters on bare-metal and on-prem environments using kubeadm, Rancher, or OpenShift.
Can you migrate workloads from VMs to Kubernetes?
Yes. We assess workload readiness, containerize applications, package them as Helm charts, and execute phased migrations with validation testing at each stage. Stateful workloads get special attention for data persistence and availability.
Do you handle Kubernetes version upgrades?
Absolutely. We run pre-flight compatibility checks, test upgrades in staging, and execute rolling upgrades with zero-downtime strategies. We also handle deprecated API migrations and addon compatibility across versions.
