The effort begins after the Kubernetes setup

Operation and reliable support for your Kubernetes landscape

Updates, components, and changing requirements consume valuable capacity during ongoing operations. CloudPirates takes care of defined Kubernetes tasks and establishes clear responsibilities through optional SLAs. This keeps your team agile and allows them to focus on applications and platform strategy.

Does this sound familiar?

Successfully operating Kubernetes is more than just a setup

Kubernetes updates get postponed

Limited time and established processes often lead to outdated versions. Larger version jumps later increase the effort required for testing and introduce additional technical risks.

Operations tie up experienced specialists

Updates, adjustments, and maintenance consume valuable DevOps and platform capacity. This leaves less time for automation, architecture, and supporting development teams.

Clusters no longer match the workloads

Applications and requirements change over time. Without regular optimization, resource bottlenecks, unnecessary costs, or unstable workloads can arise.

Components increase maintenance effort

Ingress, certificates, secrets, and backups require regular updates and proper configuration. With every additional component, dependencies and operational effort increase.

Updates require extensive coordination

Maintenance windows need to be coordinated with releases, teams, and availability requirements. Without clear processes, the effort required for every update increases.

Responsibilities during incidents are unclear

In the event of an outage, responsibilities, escalation paths, and response times need to be clearly defined. Without Service Level Agreements, operational responsibility remains with the internal team.

Our Managed Kubernetes for Predictable Operations

From cluster management to incident support

CloudPirates takes care of defined tasks within your Kubernetes operations. Together, we define responsibilities, maintenance windows, and support processes. This reduces the operational workload for your team.

  1. Manage and Update Your Cluster

    We support you with configuration, scaling, node pools, and Kubernetes updates. Updates are announced, coordinated, and carried out during the agreed maintenance window. This takes the pressure off your engineers and creates predictable processes.

  2. Manage Components Centrally

    We manage components for certificates, secrets, networking, backups, databases, and identity management. CloudPirates supports configuration and takes care of regular updates. This reduces dependencies and internal maintenance effort.

  3. Define Support with Clear Agreements

    With the right Service Level Agreement, you define availability, response times, and escalation paths. Support is available during our service hours or, optionally, around the clock. This ensures clear responsibilities even when incidents occur.
