Platform Assessment

$10,000AUD

A full review of your Kubernetes infrastructure, GitOps maturity, security posture, and cloud spend in one engagement. You get a prioritised roadmap with ROI projections, not a list of findings.

Guarantee: if our assessment doesn't identify at least 3 high-priority actionable improvements with ROI projections, we'll refund the engagement in full.

What you get

Infrastructure and architecture documentation
Cluster configuration and resource utilisation analysis
Security posture assessment (RBAC, network policies, secrets)
GitOps maturity evaluation and gap analysis
Cloud spend analysis with quick-win cost savings
Prioritised remediation roadmap with effort estimates
90-minute executive walkthrough

Best for: Teams running Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, or AKS) who need an independent review, planning infrastructure changes, or evaluating GitOps adoption

1–2 weeks · Billed at engagement start

Book Assessment

Solve it in weeks, not quarters

Every project is fixed-price. Scoped after a 30-minute discovery call, proposal in 48 hours. If scope changes, we absorb it.

You know the total investment before any work begins. No hourly billing, no change-order surprises.

Cluster Rescue Mission

2–4 weeksFrom $15,000

EKS · GKE · AKS Stabilisation

Your Kubernetes cluster needs immediate attention. Instability, failed upgrades, knowledge gaps after team changes. We work alongside your team to stabilise, upgrade, document, and hand over a cluster they can confidently operate. Companies typically spend 3–6 months recovering without help. We stabilise in weeks.

GitOps Foundation

2–4 weeksFrom $15,000

Argo CD Implementation

Production-grade Argo CD setup with HA, SSO, and CI/CD integration. We architect with your platform team to deliver repeatable, auditable deployments. GitOps adoption consistently reduces change failure rates and shortens recovery time — the DORA State of DevOps report links these practices to top-quartile delivery performance. Fewer incidents, fewer pages, fewer lost weekends.

Platform Migration

4–8 weeksFrom $30,000

From Legacy to Production-Grade Kubernetes

Move off legacy infrastructure without the drama. Zero-downtime migration to production-grade Kubernetes with GitOps, observability, and 2 weeks of post-migration support. DIY migrations take 6–12 months and routinely blow budget. Fixed-price, fixed-timeline, done right.

Multi-Cluster Architecture

4–8 weeksFrom $35,000

Enterprise GitOps at Scale

Consistent, automated deployments across multiple clusters and environments with safe promotion pipelines and full tenant isolation. Enterprise platform licensing costs $50K–$150K/year before implementation. This is a one-time investment.

Developer Platform Foundation

4–8 weeksFrom $35,000

Internal Developer Platform

Give your developers a self-service platform on top of Kubernetes. They ship faster, your platform team has less toil, and golden paths keep everything consistent. The average internal platform takes 18 months and 3–5 engineers to build. We get you production-ready in weeks.
