Docker Swarm / Kubernetes
Your applications run in containers? On this layer we operate the orchestration cluster for them: Docker Swarm for pragmatic setups, Kubernetes for complex platforms. The cluster distributes your services automatically across multiple nodes, restarts them on failures and scales them as needed — on managed VMs with dedicated resources (layers 01–04 included).
We keep the cluster layer production-ready: node updates without downtime, ingress and certificates, overlay networks, storage connection to CephFS. Whether your team gets direct access to the VMs or works exclusively through the container APIs is your decision.
Self-healing cluster
If a container or a whole node dies, the workload automatically restarts elsewhere — usually before anyone notices.
Ingress & network
Routing, TLS, internal service discovery and overlay networks — cleanly wired to the edge from layer 04.
Storage for containers
Persistent volumes on CephFS: containers may move, their data moves along synchronously.
What this layer contains.
Every layer contains all outer layers — here you see where layer 05 sits in the cosmos.
Advice that comes from the engine room.
The most honest consulting starts with the question: do you really need Kubernetes? We operate both daily and tell you when Swarm is the pragmatic answer — and if it becomes Kubernetes, we build it so your team understands it.
Swarm or Kubernetes?
Team size, workload complexity, ecosystem needs: we assess soberly and also recommend the simpler solution — with a migration path in case you grow later.
Stateful workloads
Databases in containers, volumes, backups: we show what belongs in the cluster — and what runs better as a managed service (layer 08).
CI/CD & secrets
Deploy pipelines from Git to cluster, secrets management, registry strategies — templates that make your team productive from day one.
