What's Included in Managed Kubernetes Services?
Kubernetes can be complex, but with the right tooling it becomes a powerful accelerator. At SUE our Managed Services are modular. Each module can be used on its own, but delivers the most value when combined. Together, our Kubernetes services cover every critical capability.
01
Observability
Gain complete visibility across your Kubernetes environment. We monitor pods, nodes and services in real time, turning metrics, logs and traces into actionable insight while spotting patterns before they become problems. Observability is built in with proven solutions such as Prometheus, Grafana and Datadog, providing clear alerts and easy to understand dashboards.
02
Automation & Incident Response
Kubernetes native automation keeps your platform consistent, scalable and secure. With continuous incident response, we resolve issues quickly and keep your operations flowing. Automation also remains simple through full API and CLI access, so your teams are never locked out of control. We enhance this with Terraform, which defines infrastructure as code and ensures consistent, repeatable deployments across your Kubernetes environment.
03
Capacity Planning & Change Management
We analyse resource usage and growth trends to make sure your clusters scale in sync with your business, enabling smooth releases and safe change. Capacity planning also ensures predictable costs and efficient allocation of resources, giving your teams confidence that Kubernetes will grow with demand without introducing waste or instability.
04
Security & Compliance
We embed security into every layer of your Kubernetes platform. Image scanning, network policies, role based access and GDPR ready logging keep your environment compliant and resilient. With Cilium powered by eBPF, we enforce fine grained network rules, accelerate traffic and provide deep visibility into application communication, ensuring stronger security, higher performance and faster troubleshooting.
05
Business Continuity
Resilient architecture, automated backups and structured incident workflows ensure your Kubernetes workloads stay online and recover quickly when disruption occurs. With multi-zone control planes and rolling upgrades, we keep applications available even when the underlying infrastructure encounters problems.
06
System Maintenance and Upgrades
We handle patching, version updates and lifecycle tasks, keeping your Kubernetes environment modern, secure and free of technical debt. Regular upgrades align your clusters with the latest features and best practices, while proactive maintenance prevents compatibility issues and avoids unplanned downtime.
