  • East-west controls via security groups + network policy

Workloads & scaling

  • Helm charts, HPA / Cluster Autoscaler / Karpenter, distroless images
  • Blue/green & canary rollouts with automated rollback
  • Resource requests/limits tuned for cost and stability

GitOps delivery

  • ArgoCD (or Flux) — declarative, drift-detecting deploys
  • Reconciliation every few minutes; git is the source of truth
  • Progressive delivery + secret rotation

Reliability & security

  • Prometheus/Grafana SLOs, alerting, error budgets
  • Trivy image scanning, admission policies, pod security
  • Backup/DR and upgrade strategy for EKS versions

FAQ

Can you set up EKS from scratch?

Yes — Terraform-provisioned, private-subnet EKS with IRSA, autoscaling, GitOps and observability, production-ready in weeks.

Do you fix existing clusters?

Yes — hardening, cost tuning, upgrade strategy, autoscaling and reliability reviews on running EKS.

ECS or EKS — which should we use?

Depends on your team and workloads. I'll give a straight recommendation; EKS for Kubernetes-native needs, ECS/Fargate for simpler operational overhead.

How do you secure the cluster?

Private networking, IRSA, network policy, image scanning, admission control and evidence mapped to SOC 2/ISO 27001.

Ship on Kubernetes without the 3AM surprises.
