Kubernetes Perth
Container Orchestration Built and Operated by Someone Who Runs It in Production
KFTMS handles Docker containerisation and Kubernetes cluster management for Perth dev teams — from initial setup and Helm chart authoring to ongoing cluster operations. EKS, GKE, or bare metal. Built properly from the start.
What KFTMS delivers
Docker containerisation of existing applications and services
Kubernetes cluster design and initial provisioning on AWS EKS, GKE, or bare metal
Helm chart authoring and management for application deployments
Persistent volume, storage class, and stateful workload configuration
Horizontal pod autoscaling and resource limit tuning
Ingress controller setup, TLS termination, and service routing
Cluster RBAC, namespacing, and multi-tenant access control
Ongoing cluster operations, upgrades, and incident response
Docker done right
Multi-stage builds. Minimal base images. No secrets in layers. Proper .dockerignore. Most containerisation problems start with bad Dockerfiles — KFTMS writes them correctly the first time.
Helm for everything
Helm charts make Kubernetes deployments repeatable and environment-aware. KFTMS authors charts from scratch or wraps upstream charts to fit your specific workload and config requirements.
Cluster ops ongoing
Kubernetes clusters need active management — version upgrades, node patches, autoscaler tuning, certificate renewals. KFTMS handles the operations layer so your team focuses on product work.
The Journey
Containerise → Orchestrate → Operate
Containerise
Existing apps get proper Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, and container hygiene — no bloated images, no secrets baked in.
Orchestrate
Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts written for your workloads. Deployments, services, configmaps, and secrets wired correctly.
Operate
Ongoing cluster management — upgrades, scaling, monitoring, and on-call support so production keeps running.
FAQs
Kubernetes Perth — common questions
When does a Perth business need Kubernetes?
Kubernetes makes sense when you have multiple services that need to scale independently, need high availability, or are running enough container workloads that manual Docker management is becoming painful. For small single-service applications, Docker Compose or a managed container service is often the right starting point.
Should I use AWS EKS, GKE, or self-hosted Kubernetes?
For most Perth businesses, AWS EKS is the right answer — managed control plane, tight AWS integration, and strong operational maturity. GKE is excellent if you are already heavily invested in GCP. Self-hosted Kubernetes is worth considering if you have on-premise infrastructure or specific data sovereignty requirements.
Can you migrate an existing application to Kubernetes?
Yes. KFTMS handles the full migration — containerising the application, writing deployment manifests, configuring persistent storage, setting up ingress, and migrating traffic from the existing environment with minimal downtime.
How does Kubernetes connect to a CI/CD pipeline?
CI/CD pipelines built by KFTMS deploy directly to Kubernetes using kubectl, Helm, or ArgoCD — depending on the complexity of the environment. Image builds are pushed to a container registry (ECR, GCR, Docker Hub) and the pipeline triggers a rolling deployment to the cluster.
Do you offer ongoing Kubernetes cluster management?
Yes. Kubernetes clusters need regular maintenance — version upgrades, node patching, certificate renewal, autoscaler tuning. KFTMS offers ongoing cluster operations as a managed service so your team does not need to own that responsibility.
