Why Kubernetes Consulting?
Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It is designed to provide the flexibility and scalability needed to run applications in production environments. Kubernetes consulting services from RisingStack can help organizations tackle the steep learning curve of Kubernetes and ensure they are able to get the most out of their investment.
Our Kubernetes consulting service is recommended for companies who plan the adoption of Kubernetes but lack the necessary experience to do so.
We’re also advising companies who need to learn best-practices, master Kubernetes security and overcome scaling or availability issues. Our consultants have experience with all the major cloud providers: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure & DigitalOcean.
Kubernetes Consulting Projects usually take one or two weeks of real-time collaboration when we work closely with your team, but you can book RisingStack’s experienced team for a certain amount of hours / month as well and reach out to them when their expertise is needed.
Why we use Kubernetes and when do we recommend it?
It is not enough to develop features fast, but we need to deploy them just as quickly and maintain stability in the meantime. Container technologies such as Docker have revolutionized the way we ship server applications as they provide a lightweight solution to bundle them isolated, yet highly portable packages. But shipping on it’s own is not enough for success, we still need to manage the deployments which is especially difficult when we work with a fast changing distributed environment such as a microservice system. To tackle the challenges these system present our go to solution is Kubernetes.
Kubernetes is a portable, extensible open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. Kubernetes services, support, and tools are widely available.
When our clients ask us to create a highly available distributed system, we usually recommend Kubernetes, because it's easy to use and even though it has a steep initial learning curve, it's still a lot more feature rich compared to other competing orchestration engines, and its vast ecosystem further enhances its flexibility.
Kubernetes is the most versatile container orchestration platform when it comes to cloud native applications, but it loses its edge in private cloud. In a situation like this, we recommend Docker Swarm or AWS ECS instead.

Benefits of Kubernetes
Kubernetes is a versatile platform that can be used for many different purposes, from digital transformation to resource efficiency. It allows organizations to run multiple containers on a single network storage system, and it supports major cloud platforms such as AWS and Google Cloud Platform. In addition, Kubernetes provides powerful configuration management tools that make it easy to manage complex applications and keep them running smoothly.
At RisingStack, we are dedicated to helping businesses get the most out of their kubernetes implementation. Our team of experienced professionals will assess your existing infrastructure and develop a tailored solution that meets your specific needs. We will provide you with the guidance and expertise you need to ensure your applications are always running optimally.
Kubernetes adoption can provide the following benefits:
Improved Scalability: With Kubernetes, you can easily scale up or down as needed without having to worry about manual configuration. This allows you to quickly respond to changing demands and ensure your applications are always running optimally.
Automated Deployment: Kubernetes automates the process of deploying applications, making it easier for developers to quickly deploy new features and updates without having to manually configure each step.
Cost Savings: By leveraging Kubernetes' automation capabilities, businesses can save time and money by eliminating manual processes and reducing hardware costs associated with traditional infrastructure solutions.
We strive to provide our clients with the best possible service so they can get the most out of their cloud infrastructure. We understand how important it is for businesses to stay ahead of the competition and make sure their applications are always running optimally. With our expertise in Kubernetes consulting services, we will help you maximize your cloud performance while saving time and money in the process.
RisingStack and Kubernetes
At RisingStack we started using Kubernetes even before its 1.0 version got released, and we’ve built several products for our clients using it, as well as our own microservices monitoring developer tool called Trace.
As Kubernetes is becoming the de-facto standard for running microservices infrastructures in the cloud, the majority of our Microservices projects involved tasks for either migrating to Kubernetes or helping our clients with scaling Kubernetes applications.
Kubernetes Training
We offer comprehensive services to help organizations get the most out of their Kubernetes deployments. Our team of experienced consultants have been trained in the best practices of Kubernetes and can provide tailored advice on how to make use of its power.
- Our consulting services include:
- Setting up and optimizing Kubernetes clusters
- Training users on how to use and configure Kubernetes
- Developing custom solutions for specific needs
- Providing ongoing support and maintenance for large-scale deployments
- Advising on best practices for using Kubernetes in different cloud environments such as AWS, Google Cloud or Azure.
We also provide tailor-made trainings for teams who strive to learn operating scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed applications while keeping infrastructure management easy.
During our Handling Microservices with Kubernetes Training we work with a microservices architecture and deploy the dockerized services into a Kubernetes cluster, set up application secrets, use load balancers, rate-limiters, take a look at some popular management tools and apply several design principles and best practices coming with microservices.
Kubernetes can be a complex system, but with the right guidance it can become a powerful and reliable platform. We are here to help you make the most of your investment by providing expert advice and training so that you can confidently run your applications in production environments.
