Run Containers That Scale

Cluster provisioning, deployments, scaling policies and ongoing operations, so your containerized applications run reliably as load changes, not just on a good day.

50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.

Why It Matters

A cluster that is switched on is not the same as one that is operated

Provisioning Kubernetes is the easy part. Scaling policies, health checks and upgrade practices decide whether it holds up under real traffic.

Scaling Without a Manual Call

Capacity adjusts to load instead of waiting on a person

Scaling policies are set against real metrics like CPU or request volume, so the cluster adds capacity during a spike and scales back down afterward, without someone watching a dashboard at midnight.

  • Scaling limits set to match your budget.
  • No manual intervention needed for routine spikes.
  • Capacity scales back down when load drops.

Failures Handled Before Users Notice

A failed pod is restarted automatically, not discovered from a complaint

Health checks and automatic restarts mean a crashed pod is usually back up before it causes a visible outage, and alerts tell your team what happened instead of leaving it to a support ticket.

  • Automatic restarts for failed pods.
  • Work rescheduled onto healthy nodes.
  • Alerts sent to your team, not just logged.

Inside a Cluster

What a set of running pods looks like day to day

Illustrative example. Your actual pod count and status depend on your application and load.

api-1Running
api-2Running
api-3Pending
worker-1Running

cache-1Running
cache-2Pending
A "Pending" pod is waiting on capacity or a scheduling check, not necessarily a failure.
How It Works

From containerized applications to a cluster running in production

1
Provision the cluster
The cluster is set up on your chosen cloud provider or infrastructure.
2
Define deployments
Your containerized applications are configured to deploy onto the cluster.
3
Set scaling policies
Scaling rules are set against real load metrics and agreed capacity limits.
4
Add monitoring and alerts
Health checks, restarts and alerting are configured before anything goes live.
5
Operate or hand over
The cluster is documented and handed over, or we continue running operations under an agreed arrangement.

Why Us

Why teams choose TCB Infotech for Kubernetes

1
We configure scaling around your real load
Policies are set against your actual traffic patterns and budget, not a generic default.
2
Monitoring is set up before go-live
Health checks and alerts are in place before the cluster carries real traffic, not added afterward.
3
We work with your cloud provider
Clusters are provisioned on the infrastructure you already use, using a managed service where one exists.
4
Ongoing operations if you need it
We can hand the cluster over fully documented, or continue running it under an agreed arrangement.
5
Direct access to the engineers
You work with the people who provisioned the cluster, not a relay through account management.
6
Proven delivery
50+ ERP and software projects, with zero failed projects since 2021.
FAQ

Kubernetes, answered

What does setting up Kubernetes for us actually involve?
We provision the cluster on your chosen cloud provider or on your own infrastructure, define how your containerized applications deploy onto it, set scaling policies for expected load, and put monitoring in place before handing it over or taking on ongoing operations.
Do our applications need to already be containerized?
Yes, Kubernetes runs containerized applications, so containers need to exist first. If your application is not containerized yet, that work happens before or alongside the cluster setup.
How does scaling actually work once it is set up?
Scaling policies are configured against metrics like CPU or request load, so the cluster adds or removes pods automatically within limits you set, rather than someone manually adjusting capacity during a traffic spike.
Can you operate the cluster after it is set up, not just build it?
Yes. Once the cluster is provisioned, we can hand it over with documentation, or continue as an ongoing operations arrangement covering upgrades, monitoring and incident response.
Which cloud provider does this work with?
The cluster is set up on the cloud provider or infrastructure you already use or prefer, using a managed Kubernetes service where one is available rather than requiring a specific vendor.
What happens if a pod or node fails?
Kubernetes is configured to restart failed pods and reschedule work onto healthy nodes automatically, and alerts are set up so your team knows about a failure rather than discovering it from a user complaint.

Kubernetes Features

How Kubernetes Cluster Operations Work

From a provisioned cluster to a set of deployments that scale on their own and recover from failure. Here is how we set it up and keep it running.

Core Process

Provisioning, deploying and scaling, in that order

Cluster Provisioning

A cluster set up on the infrastructure you already use

The cluster is provisioned on your chosen cloud provider or on your own infrastructure, using a managed Kubernetes service where one is available to reduce the operational load on your team.

  • Matched to your existing cloud provider.
  • Sized for your current and expected load.
  • Access and networking configured securely.
Provisioning a Kubernetes cluster on cloud infrastructure
Deployments

Containerized applications configured to deploy onto the cluster

Each containerized service is configured with the deployment rules the cluster needs, including how many copies to run and how updates should roll out without downtime.

  • Rolling updates configured to avoid downtime.
  • Resource limits set per service.
  • Rollback available if a deployment fails.

Scaling and Monitoring

Capacity and health checks configured before the cluster carries real traffic

Scaling policies are tied to real load metrics, and health checks, restarts and alerts are put in place so the team knows about a problem before a user reports it.

  • Scaling limits set against your budget.
  • Health checks and automatic restarts configured.
  • Alerts routed to your team, not just logged.
