EKS Platform Bootstrap

Launch a production-ready Kubernetes platform without the complexity. Get an EKS cluster configured with best practices and all the essential add-ons.

Delivered in 1-2 weeks with everything you need: ingress controller, autoscaling, security policies, and comprehensive documentation.

What's Included

Production-Ready EKS Cluster

Battle-tested cluster with managed node groups and secure networking. High availability and fault tolerance built in from day one.

Ingress & Load Balancing

Ingress Controller configured and ready for use. Route traffic to your applications with SSL/TLS termination.

TLS Certificate Management

Cert-manager with automated certificate provisioning configured. Never manually renew certificates again.

Autoscaling

Cluster Autoscaler configured. Your platform scales up when you need it and scales down to save costs.

Secrets Management

External Secrets Operator integrated with AWS Secrets Manager. Keep secrets out of Git while making them available to your applications.

Security Policies

Pod Security Standards and network policies implemented. Production-grade security configuration following AWS and Kubernetes best practices with example RBAC patterns.

What You'll Receive

Production-Grade EKS Cluster

EKS cluster with managed node groups, optimised instance types, and secure networking configuration. Ready to run production workloads from day one.

Ingress Controller with TLS Automation

Fully configured ingress controller with cert-manager for automatic TLS certificate provisioning and renewal. HTTPS by default for all your applications.

Example Application Deployed

Sample application deployed with ingress, TLS, and monitoring configured. Provides a working reference for your team to understand deployment patterns and platform capabilities.

Autoscaling Configured

Cluster level autoscaling configured and tested. Your platform automatically adjusts resources based on actual demand.

Secrets Management with External Secrets Operator

External Secrets Operator deployed and integrated with AWS Secrets Manager. Secrets are stored securely in AWS and automatically synchronized to your cluster as Kubernetes secrets. Example configurations provided to get you started.

Security Policies and Example RBAC

Pod Security Standards, network policies, and example RBAC patterns for platform components. Your cluster follows security best practices with working examples you can extend for your workloads.

Complete Infrastructure as Code

Terraform codebase for cluster infrastructure and Helm charts for all add-ons. Everything version controlled and documented for easy maintenance and updates.

Documentation & Knowledge Transfer

Comprehensive documentation covering architecture, deployment patterns, and operations. Plus a knowledge transfer session to ensure your team is confident managing the platform.

Who It's For

Startups Building Cloud-Native Applications

You're ready to adopt Kubernetes but don't want to spend months learning every detail. Get a production-ready platform that follows best practices from day one.

Teams Migrating to Kubernetes

Currently running on EC2, ECS, or other platforms and ready to move to Kubernetes. Get expert guidance and a proven platform architecture that avoids common pitfalls.

Companies Needing Container Orchestration

You need reliable container orchestration with high availability, autoscaling, and security. Get an enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform without enterprise complexity.

Engineering Teams Wanting GitOps

You want declarative, Git-driven deployments with full audit trails and easy rollbacks. Get GitOps configured and working from day one with ArgoCD.

Timeline & Process

This engagement typically takes 2-3 weeks from kick-off to handover, depending on your requirements and existing AWS setup.

1

Discovery Call

We discuss your workload requirements, team structure, and specific needs. Understanding your applications ensures we configure the right platform.

2

Design Cluster Architecture

We design your cluster architecture including networking, node groups, and add-on selection based on your requirements.

3

Provision EKS Cluster & Core Add-ons

We provision your EKS cluster with Terraform and install core add-ons including VPC CNI, CoreDNS, kube-proxy, and EBS CSI driver.

4

Implement Security & Autoscaling

We configure Pod Security Standards, network policies, example RBAC patterns for platform components, and cluster autoscaling. Everything tested and validated.

5

Deploy Example Application

We deploy a sample application demonstrating ingress, TLS, autoscaling, and monitoring. This provides your team with a working reference implementation.

6

Knowledge Transfer & Documentation Handover

We walk your team through the platform, deployment patterns, and operational procedures. Comprehensive documentation ensures you're fully equipped to deploy and manage your applications.
