Managed Kubernetes
We design, harden, and run Kubernetes clusters: EKS, AKS, GKE, or self-managed. Reliable by default.
Talk to us about managed kubernetesOverview
What is managed Kubernetes?
Managed Kubernetes means someone else runs the cluster, not just advises on it. Version upgrades, security patches, scaling, and incident response are handled on an ongoing basis, not scoped as a one-time setup. The alternative is usually hiring a dedicated platform team to do the same work in-house.
Profesit runs managed Kubernetes on EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters. We handle cluster deployment, security hardening, autoscaling, and 24/7 operational support, so your team ships product instead of patching node pools.
Compare platforms
EKS vs. GKE vs. AKS
Choosing a platform depends on your existing cloud footprint and team expertise more than any single feature. Here's how the three compare.
| AWS EKS | Google GKE | Azure AKS | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control plane cost | $0.10/hr per cluster | Free tier available, then $0.10/hr | Free |
| Autoscaling | Karpenter + Cluster Autoscaler | Autopilot (fully managed) | KEDA + Cluster Autoscaler |
| Serverless containers | Fargate | Autopilot | Virtual Nodes (ACI) |
| Service mesh | App Mesh / self-managed Istio | Anthos Service Mesh (managed Istio) | Managed Istio-based |
| Best fit | AWS-centric teams | Kubernetes-native teams, lowest ops overhead | Microsoft/Azure-centric teams |
| Managed by Profesit | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Managed Kubernetes services we provide
Automated cluster setup
Production-ready EKS, GKE, or AKS clusters with multi-AZ deployment, autoscaling, and managed node groups.
Security & compliance
RBAC, network policies, pod security standards, and automated vulnerability scanning built in from day one.
Observability
Metrics, logs, and traces wired up before you need them for an incident, not after.
CI/CD integration
GitOps-based deployment pipelines integrated with the cluster, not bolted on separately.
Multi-tenancy done right
Namespace isolation and quotas, so one noisy workload can't take the cluster down.
24/7 operational support
We carry the pager for cluster-level incidents, day or night.
Benefits of managed kubernetes
Faster cluster deployment
Production-ready clusters deployed from tested Terraform, not built by hand each time.
Hardened by default
RBAC, network policies, and pod security standards applied from day one, not bolted on after an incident.
Always current
Version upgrades tested and scheduled on a cadence, not deferred until they're forced.
Full observability
Metrics, logs, and traces wired up before you need them for an incident, not after.
Lower compute cost
Right-sized autoscaling instead of static, overprovisioned node pools.
Built-in resilience
Multi-AZ deployment and namespace isolation, so one noisy workload can't take the cluster down.
Challenges we solve
Misconfigured clusters
Default Kubernetes configs leave clusters open to security and scaling failures.
Our solution
RBAC, network policies, and pod security standards hardened from day one.
Unpredictable scaling
Clusters that scale reactively page someone at 2am instead of ahead of load.
Our solution
Autoscaling tuned from real usage data, tested against actual traffic patterns.
No one owns cluster ops
Upgrades get deferred until they're forced, risky, and overdue.
Our solution
Scheduled, tested upgrades and 24/7 on-call coverage for cluster-level incidents.
Your Kubernetes journey: from assessment to production
01
Discovery & assessment
Current applications, infrastructure, and requirements analyzed to define the right Kubernetes strategy.
02
Infrastructure setup
Cluster provisioned with networking, IAM, and node groups configured before anything is deployed.
03
Application deployment
Workloads containerized and deployed with the manifests and health checks production actually needs.
04
Observability & security
Monitoring, logging, and the security baseline wired in before launch, not after an incident.
05
Managed operations
Upgrades, scaling, and incident response carried on an ongoing basis, not handed back once launch is done.
Ready to start your managed kubernetes?
We'll assess what you're running before proposing anything, not the other way around.

Frequently asked questions
Do you support Kubernetes on all major clouds?+
Yes, EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters.
Can you take over a cluster we already run?+
Yes, starting with a full audit before onboarding it into management.
How long does setup take?+
It depends on your existing infrastructure. We scope a concrete timeline during the assessment phase, not before it.
What happens if something breaks outside business hours?+
We carry the pager for cluster-level incidents. That's part of the managed service, not a separate add-on.
