to your stack & domain
Deploy or migrate onto a production Kubernetes platform with ingress, autoscaling, observability, and a baseline your team can operate.
How this operator works
every way of working, already decidedOwns the system, not the ticket
Takes end-to-end ownership of a service or surface. Design, delivery, on-call. And is measured on outcomes, not hours.
Embedded, async-first, instrumented
Works inside your repos, your CI and your rituals. Daily written standups, decisions logged. No status-meeting tax.
Runbooks, canaries, reversible deploys
Every change gated and reversible. Incidents get a timeline and a postmortem; nothing ships without a rollback.
Plugged into your Slack & rituals
Joins standups and retros, reports weekly against the goal. You get an operator, not a queue.
Brings a pre-wired stack or adopts yours
Infrastructure and observability as code by default. No bespoke setup tax to absorb.
Scoped, gated, reversible
Week-1 shadow, week-2 ownership, swap on request inside the trial window. No long-tail handover risk.
Overview
Kubernetes in production is an operating commitment, not a checkbox. This package deploys or migrates a workload onto a production-grade container platform, managed Kubernetes on EKS, AKS, or GKE, with ingress, configuration, autoscaling, observability, and the operational baseline that keeps it healthy. The finish state is workloads running on a cluster your team can confidently operate, upgrade, and debug.
The build uses your cloud's managed control plane and delivers the platform as code: ingress and TLS, resource requests and autoscaling policies, secrets and configuration management, monitoring with sensible alerts, and RBAC that maps to your team structure. Runbooks cover the operations that actually happen: deploys, upgrades, incident triage.
What's included
Cluster and ingress setup
Managed Kubernetes with ingress, TLS, and DNS wired in, delivered as code.
Autoscaling and resource policy
Requests, limits, and horizontal scaling policies set from measured behaviour, not guesses.
Observability baseline
Metrics, logs, and alerts for both platform and workloads from day one.
Operations baseline
RBAC, upgrade strategy, and runbooks for the incidents and tasks your team will actually face.
How it works
- Scope: confirm workloads, cloud, cluster architecture, and the operational requirements.
- Build: stand up the platform as code, migrate workloads, and wire observability and RBAC.
- Handover: run through operations and failure scenarios with your team, hand over runbooks.
Part of every Delivery Plan
The Kubernetes Production Setup is a menu item on the Scrums.com delivery catalog, available at every plan tier. Add it to your plan backlog and your delivery team schedules it like any other item — scoped, tracked, and reported through the SEOP. See Delivery Plan Tiers.
FAQs
Is Kubernetes overkill for us?
Sometimes, and scoping will say so. For a small workload count, simpler container services may serve better; you get that recommendation honestly rather than a cluster you do not need.
Do our applications need to be containerized first?
Yes. If they are not, the Docker Containerization Package is the precursor; this package starts from working images.
What about deeper observability later?
The baseline covers platform and workload health. Full-stack telemetry across services is the Observability Foundation Sprint, which builds naturally on this platform.
