Kubernetes Assessment
With our Kubernetes assessment, you can recognise security risks, misconfigurations and vulnerabilities at an early stage before they lead to failures or performance problems. You receive a well-founded evaluation of your platform and specific recommendations for greater stability, security and efficiency in operation.
Our Kubernetes Assessment solves these challenges
-
Identify security risks at an early stage
We identify vulnerabilities, security gaps and critical configurations before they jeopardise cluster operations.
-
Make performance issues visible
We analyse bottlenecks, instabilities and technical causes in order to identify performance issues at an early stage.
-
Improve availability and resilience
We assess factors such as high availability, reliability, and the backup and recovery capabilities of your platform.
-
Systematically identify misconfigurations
We scan your Kubernetes environment for configuration errors that could compromise stability, security or scalability.
-
Optimise resource usage in a targeted manner
We assess the use of compute, storage and cluster resources and identify specific areas for optimisation.
-
Evaluate architecture and best practices
We review the architecture, cluster design and operational readiness of your environment and ensure they align with Kubernetes best practices.
What we check in the Kubernetes assessment
The Kubernetes assessment comprises five central fields of analysis.
We systematically check these as part of the assessment of your platform.
Scope of services
5 analysis fields
- Resource utilisation
- Cluster Design
- Best Practices
- Security
- Misconfigurations
This is how a Kubernetes assessment works at Claranet
1. Preparation and technical workshop
We start by laying the necessary foundations for the assessment together. In a technical workshop, our Kubernetes experts gain insights into your platform, agree the scope and discuss known challenges or special features of your environment.
2. Audit of the Kubernetes stack
In the next step, we systematically check your stack at various levels - from the infrastructure to the application. We analyse key aspects such as security, scalability, availability, performance, configuration and compliance with best practices.
3. Architecture review
Based on the findings to date, we evaluate the architecture of your Kubernetes environment in detail. If necessary, we will discuss individual points in more detail in technical discussions with your team in order to precisely classify strengths, weaknesses and optimisation options.
4. Analysis, report and presentation of results
Finally, we consolidate all the results in a structured final report and present the most important findings in an understandable way. In a presentation of the results, we show you specific fields of action and recommendations for the next steps.
What you get as a result of our Kubernetes assessment
Assessment report
You will receive a structured report with the most important results, risks and areas for action for your Kubernetes platform.
Recommendations
You will receive specific recommendations for action to improve security, stability, performance and operational readiness in a targeted manner.
Presentation of results
Our experts present the results, categorise the findings and discuss the next steps.
Example from the assessment report
The advantages of working with Claranet
Cloud-native expertise
Claranet has extensive experience in analysing and further developing productive Kubernetes environments.
Holistic evaluation
We don't just look at individual technical aspects, but at your platform in the key dimensions of security, architecture, performance and operational maturity.
Practical recommendations
You receive specific and prioritised recommendations for action that are based on your real environment and can be used directly.
Focus on results
Our assessment creates a reliable basis for reducing risks in a targeted manner, increasing stability and further developing your Kubernetes platform in a structured manner.
Frequently asked questions about the Kubernetes Assessment
-
A Kubernetes assessment is suitable for companies that want to gain more transparency about the status of their Kubernetes platform. It is particularly helpful when clusters are repeatedly unstable, failures or performance problems occur or it is unclear where specific weak points lie.
-
In the assessment, we examine key areas of your Kubernetes environment, including security, misconfigurations, resource utilisation, cluster design, architecture, availability and compliance with best practices.
-
The time frame depends on the complexity of your environment and the organisational requirements. We would be happy to discuss the details with you in an initial meeting.
-
Yes, the Kubernetes assessment is particularly useful for productive or production-related environments in which risks need to be recognised early on and optimisation potential identified. Ideally, however, it should be carried out before live operation in order to eliminate misconfigurations, stability or security risks at an early stage.
-
You will receive a structured assessment report, specific recommendations for action and a presentation of the results with a categorisation of the most important findings.
-
Implementation is not part of the Kubernetes assessment. However, on request, we can support you separately in the subsequent prioritisation and implementation of identified measures.
