Container Cluster Hardening Sprint
We close the default security gaps in a live cluster: network policies, RBAC, resource limits, secrets and image provenance.
Default-deny network policies with explicit allow rules for each namespace
Cloud Landing Zone as Code
Your cloud environments rebuilt as version-controlled infrastructure code, with separated accounts, sound networking and no manual console changes.
Overview
What this engagement is
Infrastructure created by hand in a console is impossible to review, reproduce or change safely. We codify your cloud estate as infrastructure code: dedicated accounts for production and non-production, a VPC design whose private subnets genuinely stay private, IAM roles scoped to workloads rather than individuals, and remote state held in versioned object storage with state locking. Modules are designed for reuse rather than duplication. A plan-and-apply workflow in your CI/CD pipeline means every infrastructure change arrives as a pull request your team can review.
Deliverables
What you receive
- Infrastructure-as-code modules for VPC, subnets, security groups, IAM and core services
- Multi-account structure separating production from staging
- Remote state in object storage with locking and versioning enabled
- CI/CD workflow that plans on pull request and applies on merge
- Existing resources imported into state wherever practical
- Documented naming, tagging and environment conventions
- Runbook covering bootstrap, drift detection and disaster recovery
Outcomes
What changes once it ships
Every infrastructure change is reviewed before it reaches production
Environments can be rebuilt from code rather than repaired by hand
New engineers learn from the repository instead of asking colleagues
Process
How the 4 stages run
Discovery
We inventory your current resources and how each was created
Design
Account structure, network topology and module boundaries are agreed
Implement
Modules are written, resources imported and applied environment by environment
Handover
Pairing sessions with your engineers alongside written runbooks
A strong fit for
- Organisations whose infrastructure knowledge rests with a single person
- Teams preparing for an audit that will ask how changes are approved
- Startups about to introduce a second environment or region
What we need from you
- Administrator access to the cloud accounts in scope
- A maintenance window for cutting over any shared networking
- An engineer available to attend the handover sessions
You share these through the brief that opens in your client dashboard once payment is confirmed. The timeline starts when they arrive.
Answers
Questions about this engagement
Importing existing resources causes none. Where a resource must be replaced, we schedule the change with you and keep a rollback path ready.
We begin from proven module patterns and tailor them to you. The result is plain, standard infrastructure code, not a wrapper only we can maintain.
Yes, using that provider's equivalent account and landing zone structure. Please contact us before ordering so we can confirm scope.
This is a digital service — nothing is shipped. Work is delivered to the timeline above, into systems you control, and our refund terms explain what happens if a date is missed.
