AWS Kubernetes & EKS Services
Container Orchestration That Actually Works
Kubernetes is powerful but complex. We set up, manage, and optimize EKS clusters so your team ships containers without drowning in YAML.
Production-Ready in Weeks. Fixed-Price. Zero-Downtime Guarantee.
Common Challenges
Kubernetes Without a Strategy?
We see these problems every week. Sound familiar?
YAML Hell
Hundreds of configuration files nobody fully understands. One bad indent and production is down.
Cluster Sprawl
Unmanaged clusters eating your budget. Orphaned namespaces, over-provisioned nodes, no cost visibility.
Upgrade Nightmares
Kubernetes version upgrades breaking production. Deprecated APIs, incompatible controllers, failed rollouts.
What We Build
What We Build on Kubernetes
End-to-end AWS Kubernetes services. From cluster zero to production-grade platform.
EKS Cluster Setup & Management
EKS + Karpenter + Helm + RBAC
Production-ready EKS clusters with proper networking, auto-scaling via Karpenter, RBAC policies, and multi-AZ high availability. Clusters that run themselves.
Migration to Containers
Docker + ECR + EKS + CI/CD
Monolith to microservices, done right. We containerize your applications, design service boundaries, and migrate incrementally so nothing breaks along the way.
Kubernetes Platform Engineering
Istio + ArgoCD + Prometheus + OPA
Service mesh for traffic management, GitOps for deployments, full observability stack, and policy-as-code. A developer platform your team actually wants to use.

Comparison
EKS vs ECS vs Fargate: Which One?
The right choice depends on your team and workload. Here is how they compare.
KUBERNETES
Amazon EKS
Teams invested in the K8s ecosystem
- Full Kubernetes API compatibility
- Massive ecosystem (Helm, operators)
- Multi-cloud portability
- Fine-grained pod-level control
- Steeper learning curve
- More operational overhead
- Cluster management costs
AWS-NATIVE
Amazon ECS
AWS-first teams wanting simplicity
- Deep AWS integration
- Simpler than Kubernetes
- No control plane costs
- Native IAM task roles
- AWS lock-in
- Smaller community ecosystem
- Less flexibility than K8s
SERVERLESS
AWS Fargate
Teams that want zero node management
- No EC2 instances to manage
- Per-second billing
- Works with EKS and ECS
- Built-in isolation per task
- Higher per-vCPU cost
- No GPU support
- Limited ephemeral storage

Common questions about running Kubernetes on AWS.
EKS is managed Kubernetes, giving you full K8s API compatibility and the massive ecosystem of Helm charts, operators, and tools. ECS is AWS-native container orchestration, simpler but locked to AWS APIs. Fargate is a serverless compute engine that works with BOTH EKS and ECS, removing the need to manage EC2 nodes entirely. We help you pick the right combination based on your team skills, workload requirements, and budget.
A production-ready EKS cluster with networking, RBAC, monitoring, logging, and auto-scaling typically takes 2-3 weeks. This includes VPC design, node group configuration, Karpenter for scaling, Prometheus and Grafana for observability, and GitOps pipelines with ArgoCD. We deliver incrementally so you have a working cluster by end of week one.
Yes. We follow a strangler fig approach, containerizing one service at a time so you get incremental wins without big-bang risk. We start by packaging your monolith in a container as-is, deploy it to EKS, then progressively extract microservices. Most migrations take 6-12 weeks depending on the size of the codebase.
We build upgrade runbooks specific to your cluster. The process includes testing workloads against the new version in a staging cluster, updating add-ons and controllers, performing rolling node group upgrades with zero downtime, and validating all workloads post-upgrade. We also set up automated compatibility checks so you are never caught off guard by deprecations.
Pricing depends on scope. An EKS cluster setup with best practices starts around $10K-$20K. Full platform engineering engagements including service mesh, GitOps, observability, and developer tooling range from $30K-$75K. We offer fixed-price projects with clear deliverables. Book a free consultation for a custom estimate.
Yes. We offer ongoing managed Kubernetes services including cluster upgrades, security patching, cost optimization, incident response, and 24/7 monitoring. Most teams see this as a fraction of the cost of hiring a dedicated platform engineering team. We also train your team to handle day-to-day operations if you prefer to bring management in-house.
