Managed Kubernetes. Your container platform in hands you can trust.
Kubernetes is powerful. But anyone who operates it themselves also knows how complex it is. Cluster updates that can bring everything to a standstill. Security vulnerabilities that emerge at the speed of the release cycle. Resources that quietly spiral out of control. Handing over the operation of a production Kubernetes environment to an external partner is a decision that requires trust. We take that responsibility seriously. With a team that does not just know Kubernetes but works with it every day, and with transparent processes that show you at any time what is happening on your platform.
Operating Kubernetes is not a side task.
Kubernetes has established itself as the standard for container orchestration. But operating a stable, secure and performant Kubernetes environment requires deep expertise, continuous attention and the experience to recognise critical situations quickly and respond correctly. Many companies find that their internal team can introduce the technology, but that ongoing operations exceed the available capacity.
We operate Kubernetes clusters for companies that want to deliver their applications reliably without their development team being distracted by cluster management. Whether on-premises, in our cloud, in another cloud or in a hybrid scenario. We create the stable platform underneath so your teams can focus on what they are actually there for.
What we take responsibility for.
Consulting and setup
We do not start implementing before we genuinely understand your requirements. We develop a Kubernetes architecture that fits your workload, your team and your existing infrastructure, and set up the clusters so they are secure, performant and maintainable from day one.
Resource optimization
Uncontrolled resource consumption drives up costs without improving performance. We analyse your clusters continuously, set sensible limits and requests and make sure your resources land where they are actually needed.
Security management
We implement security policies at cluster, namespace and pod level. Network isolation, RBAC, secret management and regular vulnerability assessments ensure your platform holds up under real attack conditions.
Cluster operations and monitoring
We monitor your Kubernetes clusters continuously. Node status, pod availability, resource utilisation, network traffic and cluster events. We identify anomalies early and act before they affect your applications.
Migration to Kubernetes
You want to move existing applications into Kubernetes? We support you with analysis, planning and implementation, from classic applications through to microservices architectures.
Updates and patch management
Kubernetes versions have short support cycles. We keep your clusters up to date, test updates in controlled environments and apply them in a way that does not disrupt ongoing operations. No critical security vulnerabilities left open for weeks.
Compliance and governance
We ensure your Kubernetes environment meets the requirements relevant to your business. GDPR-compliant operation in German or European data centers, complete logging and audit trails are standard with us.
Integrations and custom setups
We integrate your Kubernetes environment into existing CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems and storage backends. Whether Helm, ArgoCD, Prometheus, Grafana or other tools from your stack, we know the usual suspects and set them up sensibly.
24/7 Support
For problems with your Kubernetes environment, we are reachable around the clock. Not a general support team, but people who know your clusters and can immediately assess what has happened.
Backup and disaster recovery
We set up reliable backup processes for your cluster configurations and persistent data and test restoration regularly. A backup that has never been tested is not a backup.
What you gain when Kubernetes genuinely works.
Transparency about what is running
You retain oversight at all times. We deliver regular reports, proactively share relevant events and are reachable when you have questions. No black box, but a platform you understand.
Scalability without surprises
Your applications grow, your platform grows with them. We plan capacity ahead of time and scale clusters in a controlled way, without unplanned resource bottlenecks or exploding costs.
No unplanned outages from outdated clusters
Kubernetes clusters that are not regularly updated become a security vulnerability and a stability risk. We keep your clusters current and prevent outdated versions from becoming a problem.
Your development team can focus on developing
When the platform runs stably and someone else is monitoring it, your developers can focus on what they were hired for. Less cluster troubleshooting, more feature development.
Trust is built through reliability, not promises.
Handing over the operation of a production Kubernetes environment is not an easy decision. It means someone else has access to your infrastructure, makes changes and acts in an emergency. We understand what that means.
Our Kubernetes customers value the fact that we communicate clearly about what we do and why. That we are reachable when something happens. And that we say honestly when something is not running as it should, rather than glossing over the problem. Trust does not come from big promises on a website but from reliable work over time.
And because we operate Kubernetes every day, including in our own infrastructure, we know what works, what causes problems and what to watch out for. That is not theoretical knowledge but practical experience from real production environments.

Frequently asked questions
What is Managed Kubernetes?
Managed Kubernetes means that weSystems takes full responsibility for the operation of your Kubernetes clusters. We handle setup, updates, monitoring, security, backup and support, so your team can focus on the applications rather than the platform beneath them.
What are the benefits of Managed Kubernetes hosting?
Your development teams are relieved of cluster management, security vulnerabilities from outdated versions are avoided, resources are used efficiently and you benefit from a team that operates Kubernetes every day and can act immediately when something goes wrong.
Is Managed Kubernetes also suitable for smaller teams?
Yes, for smaller teams in particular Managed Kubernetes is especially valuable. Building Kubernetes expertise while also operating it takes considerable capacity. Handing that responsibility to weSystems frees up time and creates security without having to give up the technology.
Do I retain control over my clusters?
Yes, completely. We operate your Kubernetes environment, but you retain full visibility and control at all times. What we do is documented and communicated transparently. Accesses, changes and events are traceable for you at any time.
In which data centers is it hosted?
We operate Kubernetes clusters in our data centers in Berlin and Amsterdam, in other certified data centers of your choice, or in your existing infrastructure, whether on-premises, in another cloud or in a hybrid scenario.
How secure is Managed Kubernetes at weSystems?
Very secure. We implement security policies at cluster, namespace and pod level, operate network isolation, RBAC and secret management, conduct regular vulnerability assessments and keep all components up to date. Operations are GDPR-compliant in German or European data centers.
Which tools are included in the platform?
We typically integrate tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Cert Manager and Helm. Extensions such as ArgoCD, ELK Stack or other tools from your stack are available on request. We set up the platform the way that makes sense for your requirements.
How quickly is a Kubernetes environment ready to use?
Usually within a few working days. The exact duration depends on the desired architecture, complexity and existing infrastructure. We always start with a structured analysis before beginning the setup.
Does weSystems also support migration to Kubernetes?
Yes. We accompany you through the analysis, planning and implementation of your Kubernetes migration, from classic applications through to microservices architectures. We do not start implementing before we genuinely understand your requirements.
What does Managed Kubernetes cost?
Costs depend on cluster size, architecture, operating location and chosen service level. We are happy to put together a transparent, individual proposal for you.
