Cluster design, deployment, and operations
Kubernetes is powerful but unforgiving when misconfigured — bad resource limits, missing autoscaling rules, and weak network policies turn into production incidents fast. Algosoft designs clusters with proper resource governance, autoscaling, and security hardening from the start, and we're honest when a workload doesn't actually need Kubernetes at all.
Beyond initial design and deployment, we offer ongoing cluster operations covering upgrades, scaling, security patching, and incident response, so production clusters stay healthy after launch.
This service pairs with our devops consulting services and cloud native application development for teams building on a containerised platform.
Resource governance, namespace structure, and network policy from day one.
Horizontal and cluster autoscaling tuned to actual workload patterns.
Upgrades, scaling, patching, and incident response after launch.

Costs range from AUD 15,000 for a cluster design review to AUD 280,000+ for a full multi-cluster operations program.
Not necessarily. We assess your scale first and recommend simpler orchestration when appropriate.
Yes, we offer ongoing operations covering upgrades, scaling, patching, and incident response.
We work with EKS, AKS, and GKE, as well as self-managed Kubernetes clusters.
A design review takes 3–6 weeks. A full multi-cluster build with operations takes 9+ months.
