What We Do

Crafty Technologies offers two focused service tracks — Kubernetes platform engineering and cloud security — for organizations already running on AWS that need senior operators, not generalists.

EKS / Kubernetes Platform Engineering

Production-grade Kubernetes, built and operated by a principal-level engineer.

Best for: Engineering teams already on AWS that need a senior operator to design, run, and modernize their Kubernetes platform — without adding headcount.

This is the core of the practice. From standing up EKS clusters to designing GitOps workflows your team can actually maintain, this track covers the full lifecycle of a modern Kubernetes platform — architecture, implementation, and ongoing operations.

Capabilities Include:

>EKS cluster design, deployment, and lifecycle management
>Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Helm)
>CI/CD and GitOps (ArgoCD, GitHub Actions)
>Observability (Prometheus, Grafana)
>Cloud cost optimization and resource right-sizing
>Legacy-to-cloud-native modernization
>Architecture review and risk assessment

Cloud & Kubernetes Security

Hardening the platform you already run — cluster, pipeline, and network.

Best for: CTOs and platform leads who need their AWS and Kubernetes footprint hardened against a real threat model — and evidence they can hand to an auditor.

Most clusters are built for uptime first and secured later. This track closes that gap: locking down the control plane and workloads, tightening identity and key management, and proving the result against a recognized benchmark.

Capabilities Include:

>Cluster hardening and CIS benchmarking
>IAM and KMS design
>CI/CD pipeline security
>Container image and software supply-chain scanning
>Zero-trust network design (VPC, Transit Gateway, PrivateLink)
>Compliance baseline implementation

Engagement Models

Project-Based

Fixed-scope engagements with defined deliverables. Ideal for migrations, buildouts, and government contract work.

Retainer / Fractional

Ongoing advisory or hands-on support on a monthly basis. Ideal for teams that need consistent senior-level access without a full-time hire.

Not sure which model fits? Let's figure it out together.
