Container Platforms
Kubernetes and OpenShift
Container orchestration architecture and implementation for enterprise workloads. From cluster design through GitOps workflows and operator development, I help organizations adopt container platforms that integrate with existing infrastructure and security controls.
Containers for Enterprise Workloads
Kubernetes has become the standard platform for running containerized workloads at scale. However, deploying Kubernetes in an enterprise context requires much more than standing up a cluster. Security, networking, storage, observability, and integration with existing systems must all be addressed.
Organizations adopting containers face real challenges: how to manage persistent storage for stateful applications, how to integrate with enterprise identity providers, how to enforce security policies consistently, and how to enable developers while maintaining operational control.
I bring hands-on experience deploying and operating container platforms for mission-critical workloads. At UNICC, I manage the AWX automation platform on Kubernetes using GitOps practices. This practical experience informs every engagement, ensuring solutions work in production, not just in proof-of-concept environments.
Whether you are deploying your first cluster or optimizing an existing platform, I can help you navigate the complexity and deliver a solution that meets enterprise requirements.
