You Take Care of Your Business, We’ll Take Care of Your Infrastructure
Kubernetes is a powerful and versatile platform that can help you improve the scalability, reliability, efficiency, and portability of your applications.
If you are looking for a way to improve the way you deploy, manage, and scale your containerized applications, Kubernetes is the answer.
Designing, building, and maintaining a well-architected Kubernetes platform requires a big investment of time and expertise. With our Managed Kubernetes platform, we'll take care of all the complexities, so you can focus on your business.
WHAT IS DEIMOS MANAGED KUBERNETES
An Overview Of The Platform
Deimos Managed Kubernetes is an automated, well-architected, cloud-based infrastructure that is deployed, and managed, by skilled Deimos engineers on behalf of our clients.
It is the perfect way to get the benefits of Kubernetes without having to invest in your own infrastructure and expertise. We'll deploy, manage, and maintain your Kubernetes platform in the cloud of your choice, so you can focus on what you do best: building and running your applications.
Our Approach To Managed Kubernetes
Our Kubernetes Platform is built on a set of principles:
Cloud infrastructure must be secure, protect privacy, and comply with relevant regulations and standards.
At the heart of performance optimisation lies automation and scalability. We utilise dynamic scaling to ensure the platform can adapt to the user load.
Avoid unexpected expenses. Strive to bring a culture of financial accountability to the variable spend model of the cloud, enabling distributed engineering and business teams to make trade-offs between speed, cost, and quality in their cloud architecture and investment decisions.
Excellence
Minimise trade-offs, and maximise alignment to industry standards and best practices. Build with security, observability, and operational excellence in mind.
Critical components must be deployed in a highly available (HA) configuration. Where possible, strive for a self-healing system.
Observability is critical to understanding your infrastructure.
Ensure all components are observable.
Provide rich performance insights into the behaviour and performance of systems, including platform and application logs, metrics, and traces.
Treat best practices like a first-class citizen.
Solve for the future, keep innovating, and keep pushing the boundaries.
Embrace automation not only for repeatability, but to ensure auditability, and disaster recovery.
The Tools We Trust
After extensive research and development, we have adopted and integrated a set of best-in-class tooling to help us take our platform to the next level.
Automation is critical to the success of our Kubernetes Platform. Our approach to infrastructure automation involves adopting Terraform for the provisioning of cloud infrastructure, and ArgoCD for our GitOps needs.
ArgoCD is a declarative, GitOps Continuous Delivery (CD) tool for Kubernetes.
Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code tool that automates the deployment and management of infrastructure across multiple cloud providers and on-premises environments.
The market is currently saturated with CICD tools, from complex systems such as Jenkins to simplified solutions aimed at relatively senior developer experience such as Github Actions and Gitlab Pipelines.
To make our platform easily adoptable, we have built CICD templates for a range of platforms:
Our templates have been designed to support automated testing, Static Code Analysis, and the implementation of both Status Application Security Testing and Dynamic Application Security Testing.
Observability is essential for debugging, performance tuning, and incident response. It is particularly important in today's software development landscape, where applications are becoming increasingly complex and distributed.
To ensure that our platform is observable, debuggable, and accessible to developers, we have adopted the following tooling:
Prometheus is a system monitoring and alerting system that collects metrics from configured targets.
Grafana is an open-source, analytics and monitoring software suite that offers a wide range of visualisations, dashboards, and alerts for monitoring metrics, events, and logs.
Grafana Loki is a horizontally scalable, multi-tenant log aggregation system.
OpenTelemetry is a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs that help collect and manage telemetry data (including traces, metrics, and logs) from cloud-native software.
Jaeger is an open-source, end-to-end distributed tracing system that helps you monitor and troubleshoot distributed systems.
Grafana Tempo is a distributed tracing backend that provides high-scale, low-latency storage and retrieval of trace data.
At Deimos, we try to align as closely to the industry benchmarks as possible. We have thus adopted the CIS Benchmarks as guidelines for securing our Kubernetes platform.
To ensure we can proactively manage security, we have adopted a ‘shift left, defend right’ model. The following tools enable us to uphold this security posture:
Falco provides security for Kubernetes by detecting suspicious activity and violations of security policies.
OWASP provides a variety of resources, including tools, documentation, and training, to help developers and organisations build secure software.
Trivy is a vulnerability scanner for container images.
Dependency Track is an open-source Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool that identifies security vulnerabilities in software dependencies.
Defect Dojo is an open-source Application Security Management (ASM) platform that helps organisations manage their security vulnerabilities throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC).
SecureCodeBox is a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tool that integrates extremely well with Kubernetes, allowing for on-demand, as well as scheduled scanning of various components and workloads.
