Container Orchestration and Kubernetes Platform Operations

Design and deployment of a hardened Kubernetes platform that provides self-service application hosting, automated scaling, and integrated security — enabling development teams to deliver faster without sacrificing governance.

PRACTICE

Platform Engineering & Secure Delivery

CLIENT PROFILE

Organization adopting containerized applications that needs a production-grade Kubernetes platform with security, observability, and multi-tenancy support

Challenge

Development teams running containers in ad-hoc environments without standardization
No centralized platform for container lifecycle management, monitoring, or security
Difficulty meeting compliance requirements for containerized workloads

Approach

Deploy hardened Kubernetes clusters with STIG-compliant configurations
Implement namespace-based multi-tenancy with RBAC and network policies
Integrate container registry scanning, runtime security, and admission controllers
Establish observability with centralized logging, metrics, and distributed tracing

Typical Outcomes

Standardized, self-service platform for containerized application deployment
Reduced operational overhead through automated scaling and self-healing
Compliant container platform with policy enforcement and audit logging

Procurement Paths

NASA SEWP V for Kubernetes platform and infrastructure
DoD ESI for covered container management platforms
GSA MAS for platform engineering services
