Containerization And Kubernetes
Containerization and Kubernetes have become the de-facto standard for deploying modern, scalable, and resilient applications. However, leveraging this powerful ecosystem effectively requires more than just running a few kubectl commands. It demands deep expertise in cloud-native architecture and a commitment to open standards.
At Castlecraft, our expertise goes far beyond standard deployments. We live and breathe the cloud-native landscape. Our experience is demonstrated not just in deploying applications, but in extending the Kubernetes ecosystem itself to meet unique and complex client needs.
Our services include:
-
Custom Kubernetes Operators: When off-the-shelf Helm charts are not enough, we build custom Kubernetes Operators to encode your complex operational knowledge into automated, self-healing software. This allows for true "Day 2" operations management of your stateful or complex applications.
-
Ecosystem Extensions: We have hands-on experience building extensions for core ecosystem tools. For example, we've developed custom webhooks for
cert-managerto support DNS providers that are not supported out-of-the-box, ensuring seamless and automated TLS certificate management in any environment. -
Vendor-Agnostic Solutions: Our philosophy is to build solutions that are free from vendor lock-in. We are experts in navigating the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) landscape to select and implement the best open-source tools for the job, ensuring your infrastructure is portable, flexible, and future-proof.
If there's a tool in the CNCF landscape that can solve your problem, we can explore, implement, and customize it for you. We don't just use Kubernetes; we engineer solutions with it.
