Opinionated patterns for platform teams designing reliable Kubernetes estates across cloud and datacentre environments.
A resilient regional cluster with private control plane access, separated node pools, GitOps delivery, central observability and backup.
Separate development, test and production blast radii with shared platform standards and controlled promotion.
Independent regional clusters, global traffic management and data-aware failover for critical services.
Consistent delivery and security controls spanning cloud-managed clusters and on-premises environments.
Signed artefacts, image scanning, policy validation, trusted registries and admission controls before runtime.
Cluster-level telemetry routed into a central service with tenant-aware dashboards, alerts and retention.
Separate environments and critical workloads according to availability, security and organisational boundaries.
Use declarative desired state and continuous reconciliation instead of manual administrative changes.
Every namespace, workload, alert and cost should map to a responsible team and service.
