Cloud and platform

Managed Kubernetes platforms

A Kubernetes platform runs containerised applications with high availability, automated deployment and observability. Hexploits builds and operates Kubernetes clusters on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or on reserved EU capacity through Hexploits Cloud, with GitOps deployment and the monitoring to prove uptime.

  • Businesses running several applications that each need their own server today.
  • Engineering teams that want deployment to be a pull request, not a ticket.
  • Companies that want dev and production environments that actually match.

Deliverables, not slogans. Each one appears in the statement of work.

  • A production cluster with high availability, ingress, TLS, secrets management and network policy.
  • GitOps deployment: what is in Git is what is running.
  • Metrics, logs, traces and alerting routed to an engineer.
  • Backup and restore for cluster state and persistent data, tested.
  • Runbooks and, under managed support, on-call.

Our engineers work across the major languages, frameworks and cloud platforms. We build on the stack you already run, with technology choices explained in writing before work begins.

The same four stages as every Hexploits engagement, applied to this capability.

  1. Stage 1

    Design

    Cluster topology, namespaces, environments and access, agreed against your security requirements.

  2. Stage 2

    Build as code

    Terraform and Helm for everything, so the platform can be rebuilt from Git.

  3. Stage 3

    Migrate applications

    Containerise and move applications one at a time with rollback.

  4. Stage 4

    Operate

    Upgrades, patching, capacity and on-call under managed support.

Every engagement agrees its measures and the measurement period in writing before work starts.

  • Availability, reported monthly.
  • Deployment frequency and time to deploy.
  • Infrastructure cost per environment against the previous arrangement.

Case studies with numbers, and reviews linked to Google where they were left there.

  • Director, Gradvisor

    Fantastic company and our development partner for Gradvisor, a social mobility careers platform with national ambitions. Extremely responsive and mission-oriented. Cameron owns any shortfalls humbly - rare for IT providers. Thinks like a client too.

  • Director, JobVantage

    Working with Hexploits has genuinely been a pleasure, and I see them as my scaling partner for the foreseeable future as JobVantage grows. If you’re looking for a development team who combine strong AI/engineering capability with honesty, flexibility and a real interest in your business, I’d strongly recommend them.

Do we need Kubernetes?
Not always. For a single application, simpler hosting is cheaper. Kubernetes earns its place with several services, several environments, or a need for high availability and standardised deployment. We say which in the assessment.
What is Hexploits Cloud?
Reserved Kubernetes capacity on named hardware, hosted in the EU, at a fixed monthly figure. It is run by the same engineers and sits on the same contract. Specifications and pricing are on hexploits.cloud.
Who is on call?
Under managed support, Hexploits engineers, with response times written into the service schedule.
