01 · Cluster Setup
Right-sized from day one
Right-sized cluster architecture for your team, cloud and scale.
- AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud or on-prem
- Access control & network isolation
- Secrets management & policy enforcement
We design, deploy, and run production-grade Kubernetes platforms. From a single cluster to a fully managed GitOps operation. Senior-level engineering, no agency overhead.
Sound familiar?
"Your engineers are debugging Helm charts instead of shipping features."
"You stood up a cluster. Now nobody knows how to maintain it."
"One bad deploy away from a very long weekend."
What we deliver
Four capability areas. Most engagements combine two or more, and we scope the mix on a call.
Right-sized cluster architecture for your team, cloud and scale.
Every deploy is a Git commit your team can audit and roll back in seconds. No console clicks, no guesswork.
Full visibility into your platform from day one. Security and observability built in, not bolted on later.
We operate your platform as an extension of your engineering team so your developers stay focused on product.
How it works
Your team commits code. Builds, manifests and rollouts happen on rails. No SSH, no manual steps, no war rooms.
Baseline security controls applied as part of every engagement.
Know what's happening in your platform at all times.
Every release is a Git commit. Roll back in seconds, audit in months.
Close to the work
Hyltra is a platform engineering practice with deep roots in production Kubernetes. 10+ years across software, infrastructure and cloud-native systems, with 5+ years running Kubernetes in production on AWS, GCP and Oracle Cloud. That experience comes from inside engineering teams, building and operating these platforms day to day and carrying the pager for them.
We stay close to the work. The engineer who designs your platform is the one who runs it. No junior hand-offs, no support queue. We take a small number of engagements so each one gets real ownership and accountability.
FAQ
No migration required. We start from wherever you already run. We have production experience on Oracle Cloud, AWS, GCP and on-prem with RKE2, and the setup is cloud-agnostic so if you're on a different provider we work with what you have.
It depends on your cloud, your existing environments and how much is already in place. We would rather not quote a number we haven't measured against your setup, so we walk the scope on the call and commit to a specific estimate there, before any work starts.
Not at all. We explain what we're building as we build it, and the handover is designed to leave your engineers genuinely comfortable operating it. Not just holding a pile of YAML.
Everything is built on your infrastructure, in your repos, with documentation and runbooks as we go. Nothing is trapped in one person's head. For engagements that need continuity guarantees, we scope coverage explicitly up front rather than leaving it to chance.
Hyltra LLC is a US company, registered in Wyoming. Delivery is remote.
Through your access controls, not around them. Scoped, least-privilege credentials you grant and can revoke at any time. We don't store secrets, and access ends when the engagement does. Specifics are agreed before we touch anything.
Two models. Fixed-scope projects with a defined deliverable and price, or month-to-month retainers for ongoing platform work. No minimum contract length. Retainers can be ended with notice, and everything we build is already yours.
A free 30-minute call. No slides, no pitch. We look at your actual stack and tell you honestly what we would build.
