Infrastructure & Cloud — Managed Kubernetes

From their cloud
to your metal.

We design, build and operate Kubernetes platforms on your own hardware or European data centres — and migrate you off the hyperscaler without downtime. Real architecture, run by real infrastructure and network engineers.

Why companies are coming back

The cloud was a means — not the destination.

01 — Cost

The bill grows faster than the business

Pay-per-use pricing punishes the steady, predictable workloads most companies actually run. On your own hardware, capacity is a number you decide once — not a surprise you discover monthly.

Predictable capacity beats elastic billing

02 — Sovereignty

Your data answers to someone else's jurisdiction

Regulators, customers and procurement teams increasingly ask where data physically lives and who can compel access to it. Your racks — or a European data centre — is an answer that ends the conversation.

EU residency, auditable end to end

03 — Control

You rent capabilities you could own

Egress fees, opaque quotas, services deprecated on someone else's schedule. Running your own platform turns infrastructure from a subscription back into an asset.

Your platform, your roadmap

The migration

Boring, by design.

Your current environment keeps running untouched until the cutover is rehearsed, reversible and ready. No big-bang weekends.

Phase 01
Assess & architect
We map what you run today — workloads, data flows, dependencies, network topology — and design the target platform. You get a real architecture document, not a slide deck.
Phase 02
Build in parallel
We build the new platform — cluster, networking, CI/CD, observability, backups — while your current environment keeps running untouched. Nothing changes for your users.
Phase 03
Controlled cutover
Workloads move with a rehearsed cutover strategy and rollback ready at every step. Migrations are boring by design — that's the point.
Phase 04
Operate under SLA
Handover, documentation and training for your team — then the platform goes under SLA-backed operations. The engineers who built it are the ones running it.

What we build

A platform. Not a black box.

Everything lives in your repositories, fully documented. The platform is yours from day one — we just happen to run it better than anyone else would.

01

Kubernetes platform

Production-grade clusters on your own hardware or European data centres. Sized for your workloads, not a template.

02

Network architecture

Segmentation, routing, load balancing and firewalling designed by network engineers — from the rack up, not from a console down.

03

GitOps delivery

Every change to the platform flows through version control. Deployments are reviewable, repeatable and reversible.

04

Observability

Metrics, logs, traces and alerting from day one. You see what the platform sees — no black boxes.

05

Backups & recovery

Automated backups with retention policies and recovery objectives that are tested, not assumed.

06

Security hardening

Least-privilege access, network policies, encrypted secrets and a paper trail. Secure by default — it's in our name.

The team behind it

Real engineers. Real ecosystem.

Anyone can apply a Helm chart. Knowing why the packet didn't arrive, why the disk is slow, or where a workload should physically live — that takes people who have built networks and data centres, not just consumed them.

Network engineers, not console operators

The people designing your VLANs, BGP sessions and firewall rules are the same ones who answer when a packet goes missing.

Infrastructure engineers who know the metal

Kernel tuning, storage layers, hardware failure modes — experience that doesn't come from running managed services alone.

Architecture you can defend

Every workload placement, every trade-off, documented with its reasoning. Your auditors and your future hires will both thank you.

No outsourced ticket queue

The engineers who built your platform are the ones on call for it. Context is never lost in a handoff.

After the migration

You run the business. We run the platform.

Patching & upgrades

Kubernetes versions, OS patches and CVE response — handled, tested, rolled out.

Proactive monitoring

We page ourselves before your users notice. Incident response under SLA.

Managed deployments

Your developers ship; we keep the path to production safe and fast.

Capacity & performance

Continuous right-sizing of the platform as your workloads evolve.

Security reviews

Periodic reviews of access, policies and exposure — with findings you can act on.

No lock-in, ever

Everything is documented and in your repos. If we part ways, you keep a platform your team can run.

In plain terms

Questions, answered.

What does a cloud-to-on-prem Kubernetes migration involve?

Atlansec migrates Kubernetes workloads from public cloud to private hardware or European data centres in four phases. First, our engineers map the existing environment — workloads, data flows, network topology and dependencies — and write it up as an architecture document. Second, the target platform is built in parallel: cluster, networking, GitOps delivery with Argo CD, Prometheus and Grafana observability, and Velero backups — while production keeps running untouched. Third, workloads are cut over with a rehearsed strategy and rollback available at every step; no big-bang weekend windows. Fourth, the platform moves into SLA-backed operations run by the same engineers who built it. Every piece of configuration lives in your own version control from day one, so there is no lock-in and nothing hidden — the result is a platform you own outright, on infrastructure whose cost is fixed and whose data residency you can audit.

Who manages the platform after the migration?

After cutover, Atlansec operates the platform under a defined SLA — the same infrastructure and network engineers who designed it, not an outsourced ticket queue. Day to day that means 24/7 monitoring, patching and upgrades, capacity planning, backup verification, and incident response with agreed P1/P2/P3 targets. You keep full administrative access and ownership; nothing is a black box. Because the whole platform is defined in version-controlled GitOps manifests, every change is reviewable and reversible, and you can take operations in-house whenever you choose — the knowledge and configuration are already yours. Reporting stays plain and honest: what changed, what was patched, and what (if anything) broke and why. The goal is a quiet platform that simply runs, so your team spends its time on the product instead of keeping the lights on.
