Managed Support & AMC with Kubernetes
Managed Support & AMC built on Kubernetes, chosen where it genuinely fits, and swapped where it does not.

Why Kubernetes for this
An AMC is worth what its severity definitions say. Vague contracts produce arguments during outages, so we define severity, response and resolution in writing before signing.
Kubernetes is strongest at portability and fine-grained control over scaling and scheduling. For managed support & amc that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: an operational burden most teams below a certain size should not take on. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

We are not a reseller for Kubernetes and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.
What is included
- Written response and resolution targets by severity
- Monitoring with alerts that reach a person, not a dashboard nobody watches
- Security patching and dependency upgrades on a schedule
- Bug fixes within scope, with enhancements quoted separately
- A monthly enhancement allowance so small changes are not projects
- Documented runbooks, updated as the system changes
Questions
What is covered versus extra?
Fixes to agreed functionality, monitoring, patching and the monthly enhancement allowance are covered. New features and scope changes are quoted separately, and the boundary is written down rather than argued later.
Will you support a system you did not build?
Yes, after a code and infrastructure audit. Occasionally the audit changes the recommendation, and we would rather say that up front.
Do you offer 24x7?
Where the system genuinely warrants it. For most business applications, extended business hours with a defined escalation path costs far less and serves just as well.
Alternatives for managed support & amc
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
