FAQ
How long does it typically take to implement a container platform?
Container platform implementation timelines depend on your requirements and starting point. A typical enterprise deployment takes 8-12 weeks, including initial assessment, platform implementation, and team enablement. We follow a structured approach that maintains operational stability throughout the transformation.
What level of operational experience does our team need?
Your team needs basic Linux and infrastructure experience. We provide comprehensive enablement to build necessary container platform capabilities. Our approach focuses on hands-on learning and knowledge transfer throughout the implementation.
How do you ensure container security and compliance requirements are met?
We integrate security controls and compliance frameworks from the start. Our platform implementations include image scanning, runtime protection, network policies, and access controls. We work with your security teams to ensure all requirements are properly implemented.
Can we run both stateless and stateful applications?
Yes. Our container platform solutions support both stateless and stateful applications. We help you establish patterns for persistent storage, backup/recovery, and operational practices for managing both types of workloads.
How do you handle the transition from our current environment?
We use a phased approach that maintains stability while modernizing. The process starts with a detailed assessment of your current state, followed by systematic implementation and gradual workload migration based on proven patterns.
