What Is Kubernetes Consulting?

Kubernetes consulting is a specialized infrastructure service where engineers design, deploy, and operationalize Kubernetes clusters for production workloads. It covers cluster architecture, networking, security hardening, CI/CD pipeline integration, observability, and ongoing operations — so your containerized applications run reliably at scale without dumping infrastructure complexity on your development team.

프로젝트가 실패하는 이유

Clusters built by hand with no Infrastructure as Code Config drift makes environments impossible to reproduce, and when you actually need disaster recovery, it fails.
Deployments need SSH access and manual kubectl commands Human error takes down production, and nobody can tell you what changed or when it happened.
No resource limits, requests, or autoscaling policies anywhere One runaway pod starves the node and everything else on it goes down with it.
Monitoring means running kubectl get pods and waiting for someone to ping you on Slack Your customers find the problems before your team does — and that erodes trust every single time.
Secrets sitting in plain-text ConfigMaps or baked directly into images One compromised container and your database credentials and API keys are out in the open.
Cloud bill climbing 20% month-over-month and nobody knows why Over-provisioned nodes and idle workloads are burning budget that should be going toward actual product work.

컴플라이언스

Cluster Architecture

Multi-AZ, multi-node-pool cluster design with proper network segmentation. We set up node affinity, taints, tolerations, and pod disruption budgets from day one — not as an afterthought.

GitOps CI/CD

ArgoCD or Flux-based pipelines where Git is the single source of truth. Every change gets reviewed, versioned, and automatically reconciled back to what's declared.

Observability Stack

Prometheus, Grafana, and structured logging with alerting rules tied to your actual SLOs. You see what matters without getting buried in noise.

Security Hardening

Pod security standards, network policies, RBAC scoping, and sealed secrets. Defense-in-depth means one breach doesn't spiral into something catastrophic.

Cost Optimization

Right-sized resource requests, cluster autoscaler tuning, and spot/preemptible node strategies. We cut your compute bill without sacrificing reliability.

Runbooks & Knowledge Transfer

Documented runbooks and hands-on training for your team. You'll own the cluster confidently after we hand it off — that's the whole point.

우리가 만드는 것

Terraform-Managed Infrastructure

Every cluster resource defined in code, versioned in Git, and deployable to any environment in minutes.

Helm Chart Library

Standardized, parameterized Helm charts for your services with environment-specific value overlays.

Service Mesh Integration

Istio or Linkerd for mutual TLS, traffic management, canary deployments, and granular observability.

Horizontal & Vertical Autoscaling

HPA, VPA, and cluster autoscaler configured around your actual traffic patterns and cost constraints.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Velero backups, cross-region failover strategies, and recovery procedures that are actually tested — with documented RTOs you can stand behind.

Multi-Cluster Federation

When one cluster isn't enough — federated deployments across regions or cloud providers for real resilience.

우리의 프로세스

01

Infrastructure Audit

We look at your current setup: existing containers, CI/CD, cloud accounts, and how your team actually operates. You get a findings report with prioritized recommendations, not a generic checklist.
Week 1
02

Architecture Design

Cluster topology, networking, security boundaries, and deployment strategy all go into an architecture decision record. We review it together before anyone writes a line of code.
Week 2
03

Cluster Build & Pipeline Setup

Terraform modules, Helm charts, ArgoCD config, and the observability stack all get deployed to staging. Your first service runs on the new cluster.
Weeks 3–5
04

Production Migration

Traffic cutover using blue/green or canary — whichever fits your architecture. We watch closely and tune autoscaling under real load before calling it done.
Weeks 6–7
05

Handoff & Support

Runbook delivery, team training, and 30 days of on-call support. We stay available until your team doesn't need us anymore.

자주 묻는 질문

Kubernetes 프로덕션 배포는 얼마나 걸리나요?

대부분의 engagement는 감사부터 프로덕션 전환까지 6–8주 정도 소요됩니다. 서비스가 적고 간단한 구성이면 4주 안에 완료할 수 있습니다. 복잡한 멀티 클러스터 또는 멀티 클라우드 아키텍처는 10–12주가 걸리기도 합니다. 아키텍처 단계에서 정확하게 범위를 정하므로 예상 밖의 상황이 발생하지 않습니다.

저희 팀에는 Kubernetes가 필요한가요, 아니면 과도한가요?

3개 미만의 서비스를 운영하고 트래픽이 안정적이라면 Vercel이나 Railway 같은 관리형 PaaS가 더 적합할 수 있습니다. 더 간단하고 저렴합니다. Kubernetes는 세밀한 scaling, 멀티 서비스 오케스트레이션, 또는 엄격한 compliance 요구사항이 필요할 때 의미가 있습니다. 감사 단계에서 K8s가 현재 상황에 적합하지 않으면 명확하게 말씀드립니다.

어떤 관리형 Kubernetes 서비스를 추천하나요?

저희는 EKS, GKE, AKS와 함께 작업합니다. GKE는 개발자 경험이 최고이고 autopilot mode도 정말 좋습니다. EKS는 대부분의 팀이 이미 사용하는 AWS 서비스와 긴밀하게 통합됩니다. AKS는 Microsoft 중심 스택을 운영하는 경우 자연스러운 선택입니다. 저희는 기존 클라우드 footprint와 팀이 이미 알고 있는 것을 기반으로 권장합니다. 저희 선호도가 아닙니다.

engagement 후 계속해서 클러스터를 관리해줄 수 있나요?

네, 가능합니다. 저희는 monitoring, incident response, upgrades, scaling 조정을 포함하는 retained operations 패키지를 제공합니다. 대부분의 고객은 포함된 30일 지원 기간을 이용해서 익숙해진 후, operations을 사내에서 담당할지 아니면 저희와 월 단위 retainer로 계속할지 결정합니다.

무중단 마이그레이션은 어떻게 처리하나요?

저희는 아키텍처에 따라 blue/green 또는 canary 전략을 사용합니다. 로드 밸런서 가중치 조정이나 service mesh 라우팅 규칙을 통해 트래픽이 단계적으로 변환됩니다. 각 단계에서 error rate와 latency를 모니터링하고, threshold를 초과하면 자동으로 rollback합니다.

Kubernetes consulting 비용은 얼마인가요?

CI/CD와 observability가 포함된 단일 클러스터 구성은 $12,000부터 시작합니다. service mesh와 고급 보안이 포함된 멀티 클러스터, 멀티 리전 아키텍처는 일반적으로 $18,000–$25,000 이상입니다. 저희는 감사 후 고정 금액으로 견적을 제공하므로, 무언가에 commitment하기 전에 전체 비용을 알 수 있습니다.
