DevOps & Kubernetes

From code to production — Kubernetes orchestration, Docker containerisation, and CI/CD pipelines engineered for reliability at scale.

Containerisation and orchestration at production scale.

NGN has designed, deployed, and maintained highly scalable Kubernetes clusters orchestrating up to 2,000 Docker containers across latency-sensitive, high-demand production environments. We don't just spin up clusters — we engineer them for fault-tolerance, security, and operational simplicity.

Our approach leverages advanced Kubernetes features including auto-scaling, self-healing, service discovery, and sophisticated networking solutions such as Calico for robust network policies and efficient overlay networking. We implement full RBAC, network policy isolation, and integrate with Shorewall IPTables where required.

On the CI/CD side, we build Jenkins pipelines, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions workflows that enable seamless, reliable software delivery — from commit to production, every time.

Why NGN for DevOps

  • Proven at scale: Kubernetes clusters managing 2,000+ containers in production
  • Auto-scaling, self-healing, and service discovery configured and tested
  • Security baked in: RBAC, network policies, image scanning, secrets management
  • Automated deployment pipelines with rollback, blue-green, and canary strategies
  • Helm and Kustomize for maintainable, environment-specific configuration
  • Full integration with monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch)

DevOps & container capabilities

Kubernetes Cluster Design

HA Kubernetes cluster architecture with etcd redundancy, control-plane hardening, and worker node pool design. Multi-cluster and federated deployments for geo-distributed workloads.

Docker & Container Management

Docker image design, multi-stage build optimisation, private registry management, and container security scanning. Efficient container workflows from development through to production.

Helm & Kustomize

Chart development and management with Helm, environment-specific overlay management with Kustomize. Repeatable, auditable deployments across dev, staging, and production environments.

CI/CD Pipelines

Jenkins pipeline design, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions workflows for automated testing, building, and deployment. Continuous integration with automated rollback on failure.

Networking & Calico

Advanced Kubernetes networking with Calico CNI for network policy enforcement, overlay networking, and BGP peering. IPTables integration for fine-grained traffic control at the host level.

RBAC & Security

Kubernetes RBAC design, Pod Security Standards, network policy isolation, secrets management via HashiVault, and image vulnerability scanning integrated into the CI/CD pipeline.
