Kubernetes
Stable systems for companies that want to grow - without losing control
Many mid-sized companies today have powerful digital processes. Automations, interfaces, AI workflows.
What's missing isn't innovation.
What's missing is operational reliability.
The real problem isn't technology
Systems work. Until they don't.
Then it becomes clear:
- Knowledge is scattered across individuals
- Processes aren't clearly separated from operations
- Updates, dependencies, and edge cases demand constant attention
The result isn't technical standstill – it's constant mental strain at the executive level.
Kubernetes isn't infrastructure.
Kubernetes is an operating model.
Used correctly, Kubernetes means:
- clear responsibilities
- reproducible deployments
- controlled scaling
- clean separation of development and operations
Not as a playground.
But as a stable foundation where systems run without constant intervention.
What we do differently
No "We'll set up Kubernetes for you".
No project without ongoing accountability.
Instead: A production-ready platform – operated, documented, secured.
The goal isn't technical elegance.
The goal is operational stability.
Why German Kubernetes operations matter
Many cloud setups look modern – but are legally and organizationally risky.
- Data resides outside the EU
- Responsibilities are unclear
- Compliance is checkbox-driven, not truly understood
Kubernetes operations in a German cloud provide:
- a clear legal framework
- full data sovereignty
- traceable security concepts
No vendor lock-in.
No black box.
Operations instead of dependency
The biggest mistake of many setups: Everything works - as long as specific people are available.
This platform is built so that:
- Operations are possible independent of individual knowledge
- Decisions are documented traceably
- Systems remain transferable
- Control stays within the company
Not bound to tools.
Not bound to people.
Who this solution is for
- +Mid-sized companies with grown system landscapes
- +Executives who want to delegate responsibility - not risks
- +Teams that want to scale without constantly catching up
Who it's not for
- -Hobby projects or test environments
- -Companies that just want "cheaper hosting"
- -Setups without standards for operations & accountability
Certified Kubernetes Expertise
Kubernetes operations require deep knowledge. As one of the few Kubestronauts in Germany, I hold all five official CNCF certifications.
Kubestronaut
The Kubestronaut title is awarded by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to individuals who have successfully completed all five Kubernetes certifications.
KCNA
KCSA
CKA
CKAD
CKS
These certifications are not theoretical exams - they require practical hands-on experience in real Kubernetes environments.

A production-ready Kubernetes platform thrives on proven open-source tools. These components can be integrated based on requirements:
CI/CD & GitOps
ArgoCD
GitOps Continuous Delivery
Gitea
Self-hosted Git Service
Monitoring & Observability
Prometheus
Metrics & Monitoring
Grafana
Dashboards & Visualization
Alertmanager
Alert Routing
OpenSearch
Log Analytics
Security & Compliance
Falco
Runtime Security
Gatekeeper
Policy Enforcement
Kyverno
Policy Management
Trivy
Vulnerability Scanner
Authentication & Data
Keycloak
Identity & Access Management
The result
- Systems run reliably
- Changes are controlled
- Outages are caught before they cause impact
- Executive-level firefighting becomes unnecessary
Technology becomes what it should be:
A supporting structure.
Not a permanent project.
