Kubernetes support on AWS - designed, hardened, upgraded and run by the team that gets paged for it.
Amazon EKS engineering and Kubernetes support from senior engineers who operate production clusters every day. Fixed-price projects for design, migration and hardening; managed EKS operations under a monthly subscription with a 5–15 minute response SLA.

You're here because one of these is true
- Your EKS version is out of support and nobody wants to be the one who runs the upgrade.
- The cluster was set up by someone who left; the YAML is in a laptop backup.
- Pods run as root, IAM roles are node-wide, and the security review noticed.
- The Kubernetes bill is larger than the application it runs.
- Deployments are kubectl apply from a workstation, and rollbacks are a prayer.
- Nobody is on call for the cluster at 3 a.m.
Kubernetes is not the problem. Kubernetes without owners is. We take the ownership, in code, with an SLA.
What we do on Amazon EKS
Every item below is delivered by the same engineers who hold the pager afterwards.
EKS design and migration
Cluster architecture, networking and IAM designed for your workloads; migration from self-managed Kubernetes, ECS, VMs or a PaaS with zero-downtime cutover.
Upgrades without downtime
Version upgrades, node group rotation, add-on updates and API deprecations handled on a cadence - clusters stay in AWS support and applications stay up.
Security hardening
Pod Security Standards, Kyverno policies, IRSA / Pod Identity, network policies, image scanning in CI/CD, private API endpoint, control-plane logging. Evidence exported for PCI DSS, HIPAA and SOC 2.
Cost control
Karpenter, Spot capacity, right-sized requests and limits, bin-packing that actually packs. Documented client results: 60% saved on autoscaling, 70% on Spot.
Observability
Prometheus, Grafana and Loki wired to alerts that mean something, with runbooks behind them. SLOs where the business needs them.
GitOps and IaC
Argo CD, Helm and Terraform: every change reviewed, every rollback one commit away. CI on GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
Managed EKS operations
Monitoring, on-call, patching and upgrades under the managed operations plans. 5–15 minute response SLA, 99.95% uptime SLA.
How an engagement runs
1. 30-minute call
You describe the cluster, the workloads and what keeps breaking. You leave with a first read on scope.
2. Read-only review
We map versions, add-ons, IAM, networking, cost and the security posture. Findings ranked by severity and effort.
3. Fixed-price project
Design, migration, hardening or upgrade - quoted fixed after the review, delivered by milestone. Miss a milestone, don't pay for that phase.
4. Steady state (optional)
The cluster moves under managed operations: on-call, upgrades on cadence, cost reviews, compliance evidence as a by-product.
Proof on production clusters
Amazon EKS Service Delivery
AWS validated our EKS delivery practice on real customer projects. Also validated: Amazon ECS and AWS Control Tower Service Delivery.

FAQ
Do you support clusters you did not build?
Yes. Most engagements start with a cluster someone else set up. The read-only review maps what exists before we change anything, and you see the findings first.
Can you upgrade EKS without downtime?
Yes, that is the normal case: blue/green node groups, PodDisruptionBudgets, add-on compatibility checks and API deprecation fixes ahead of the control-plane upgrade. Downtime windows are the exception and are agreed in advance.
Is Kubernetes security part of compliance work?
It is part of ours. Pod Security Standards, Kyverno, IRSA, network policies and image scanning are in the scope of every PCI DSS, HIPAA or SOC 2 remediation we do, and the cluster state is exported as evidence. See Security & Compliance Engineering.
Which CI/CD tools do you support?
GitHub Actions and GitLab CI for pipelines; Argo CD, Helm and Terraform for delivery and infrastructure. Non-secret configuration lives in Helm values, secrets are pointers to AWS SSM Parameter Store or Secrets Manager.
How is it priced?
Design, migration, hardening and upgrade projects are fixed-price after the review, paid by milestone. Ongoing operations are a monthly subscription under the managed operations plans, scoped by responsibility and SLA – not by tickets or seats.
