Assess
VKS Best Practices Assessment
Uncovers security, availability, and compliance gaps in an existing VKS environment before they become incidents. Delivers a severity-rated, prioritized roadmap so your platform team always knows what to fix first.
Application Portfolio Assessment
Surfaces vulnerable dependencies and security risk hiding in your codebase before they’re carried into production. Scores every application’s Kubernetes readiness so modernization can be sequenced with confidence, not guesswork.
Enable
VCF Automation
Lets application teams self-service a compliant, right-sized cluster in minutes instead of filing a ticket. Bakes governance and consistency into every request, eliminating drift from ad hoc provisioning.
VCF Operations
Gives every team one place to see cluster health, workload behavior, and request-level performance. Cuts incident response time by correlating metrics, logs, and traces instead of jumping between tools.
Argo CD (GitOps)
Replaces per-team, hand-built deployment pipelines with one centrally managed GitOps control plane. Detects and self-heals configuration drift automatically, so what’s running always matches what’s in Git.
Istio (Service Mesh)
Standardizes ingress across every team with a single, modern Gateway pattern instead of ad hoc controllers. Proves — not just claims — encryption in transit with mutual TLS, supporting compliance requirements.
Secret Store (Secrets)
Connects clusters to your VCF Secrets Store backend so credentials never live in Git or container images. Lets teams choose the right delivery pattern — synced Kubernetes Secrets or direct-to-pod injection — per namespace.
VKS Workload Cluster Add-Ons:
Cert Manager, Contour, External DNS, Gatekeeper & Headlamp
Installs and configures five commonly needed day-2 Kubernetes add-ons — Cert Manager, Contour, External DNS, Gatekeeper, and Headlamp — on VKS workload clusters, deployed through the client‘s existing VCF Automation or Argo CD pattern.
Sustain
VKS Advisory Retainer
Puts expert VKS guidance one message away for troubleshooting, planning, and day-to-day questions. Turns platform expertise into a predictable monthly cost instead of an unplanned, reactive expense.
