Kubernetes-Based Managed Services
Kubernetes-based Managed Services is VSHN’s solution for operating standard open source or third-party software on your Kubernetes clusters – whenever Servala or AppCat do not offer a ready-to-use product.
We build and operate managed services for most cloud-native software stacks, taking care of everything from provisioning and configuration to patching, monitoring, and backups.
Built on proven tools like Project Syn, ArgoCD, GitLab CI/CD, Renovate, and the Prometheus / Grafana stack, this building block ensures reliable, secure, and maintainable backend services – fully integrated into your Kubernetes environment.
How it works
Standardized Setup
Services are provisioned via Project Syn or your existing GitOps/CI workflows. Configurations are reusable and scalable – ideal for running multiple instances across projects or namespaces.
Managed Software Stack
Whether we build a new service tailored to your setup or reuse an existing, proven configuration – VSHN installs, configures, and continuously operates services like databases, caches, search, queues, or storage. Responsibilities and boundaries are clearly defined.
Ongoing Maintenance
We handle patching, certificate rotation, scheduled restarts, and respond quickly to CVEs or runtime issues – keeping services secure and up to date.
Monitoring and Backups
Optional integration into Prometheus/Grafana-based monitoring with alert handling. Daily encrypted backups with multi-day retention ensure your data is protected.
Change, Support, and Incident Handling
We plan and execute config changes, updates, or scale actions – and lead troubleshooting when something breaks, according to your support plan and shared responsibility model.
Your Benefits
Reliable Cloud-Native Operations
Your development teams can focus on applications – we take care of the supporting services.
Security and Continuity
Regular patching, proactive alerts, and encrypted backups reduce risk and keep systems stable.
No DIY Backend Maintenance
Avoid the hassle of setting up and managing your own Redis, Kafka, MinIO, or PostgreSQL.
Predictable Cost, Clear Scope
Monthly subscription for defined operations. Extra effort is billed transparently when needed.
Portable and Open
Everything we build is based on open source and GitOps principles – so you are never locked in.
How it can be combined
Typically used on top of VSHN products like APPUiO, Managed OpenShift, or the Cloud Platform Operations building block, this service also works seamlessly with:
Custom Application Support
We help run your application alongside the managed services – handling monitoring, deployments, and continuous operational improvements.
Day-2 Enhancements (Engineering)
Combine with alerting, support plans, and backup handling for a complete managed operations experience.
Kubernetes-Based Managed Services lets you run the tools your app needs – without building operations from scratch.
It is your cloud-native backend, handled by VSHN.
The way to your tailored, modular and scalable solution.
How to get started
Based on what you really need.
Our Solution Architects work with you or your software partner to understand your goals, requirements and constraints.
Together, we design a tailored solution – whether we build and run it with you, or you take it forward independently, it all starts here.
Through an iterative, agile approach, we deliver clearly defined work packages and bring your solution into stable, day-2 operations.
