Question 1

What do Kubernetes consulting services include?

Accepted Answer

It depends on where you are. For a new adoption we start with a fit assessment, then design and build the cluster, package your services with Helm or Kustomize, set up CI/CD, monitoring, TLS and secrets, and hand over runbooks. For an existing cluster we review versions, access, costs and backups, then fix the gaps or take over day-to-day running on a retainer.

Question 2

How do we know if we actually need Kubernetes?

Accepted Answer

Kubernetes earns its keep when several things are true at once: many services owned by different teams, workloads that no longer fit on one or two servers, traffic that varies enough for autoscaling to matter, and people who can operate it. With a few services and steady traffic, Docker Compose on a well-run server is usually cheaper and easier to support. Our assessment puts this comparison in writing.

Question 3

Should we use EKS, AKS or run our own cluster?

Accepted Answer

If you already use AWS or Azure, the managed service there is usually the right start, because the provider runs and patches the control plane. You still plan version upgrades, node updates and add-ons. Self-managed k3s on your own servers suits private or on-premise setups and smaller budgets, but you take on all the patching and recovery. We recommend based on where your data, team and existing accounts already are.

Question 4

Can you take over and upgrade a cluster someone else built?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We start by capturing what is actually running, including live edits that never reached the repository, and moving it into version-controlled manifests. We then check for deprecated APIs and add-on compatibility, upgrade one minor version at a time on a staging copy first, and only then upgrade production. Each Kubernetes minor release gets about 14 months of upstream patch support, so upgrades need to be a routine.

Question 5

Can you move our existing applications onto Kubernetes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, one service at a time. We containerise each application if needed, add health probes and resource limits, write its chart, and run it in staging next to the current setup. Traffic moves across once it is proven. Databases often stay on a managed service or a dedicated server rather than in the cluster, because that is simpler to back up and recover.

Question 6

How are Kubernetes consulting services priced?

Accepted Answer

Readiness reviews and cluster builds are quoted at a fixed price once we understand the scope, which depends on the number of services, environments and existing infrastructure. Managed Kubernetes is a fixed monthly retainer based on cluster size, the number of workloads and the support hours you need. Cloud and hosting costs are billed to your own account. Tell us about your setup and we will send an estimate.

Question 7

Will our team be able to run the cluster without you?

Accepted Answer

That is the aim. Everything is defined as code in your repository, deploys go through pipelines rather than manual commands, and runbooks cover upgrades, rollbacks and common incidents. We run hand-over sessions with your engineers and can stay on a small retainer for upgrades or escalations if you want a safety net.

Question 8

Do you work with teams outside India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are based in Dehradun, work remotely with clients in India and abroad, and reply within one business day. For managed clusters, the coverage hours and response times for alerts and incidents are agreed in the retainer before work starts.
