Kubernetes Management

Highly Certified Kubernetes Experts

IS Nordic brings deep, certified expertise in Kubernetes cluster design, deployment, and operations. Our team includes some of the most highly qualified Kubernetes professionals in the Nordic region, with credentials that demonstrate mastery of cloud-native technologies.

What is a Golden Kubestronaut? This prestigious designation is awarded to individuals who have passed all CNCF Kubernetes certifications: CKA, CKAD, CKS, KCNA, and KCSA. Fewer than 500 people worldwide hold this distinction.

Continuous Education: We invest heavily in keeping our team at the cutting edge. Our engineers regularly attend KubeCon conferences, participate in CNCF working groups, and maintain active certifications across the entire Kubernetes ecosystem.

Build Resilient Production Clusters

Kubernetes in production requires far more than a basic deployment. We architect enterprise-grade clusters that handle real-world demands: high availability, disaster recovery, security hardening, and observability.

What We Build

• High-availability control planes with multi-master configurations and etcd clustering
• Network architecture: CNI selection, network policies, ingress controllers, and service meshes
• Storage integration: CSI drivers, StatefulSets, persistent volume management
• Security hardening: RBAC, pod security standards, secrets management, network segmentation
• Observability stack: Prometheus, Grafana, logging aggregation, distributed tracing
• Disaster recovery: Backup strategies, multi-region failover, stateful application recovery

GitOps & DevSecOps Pipelines

Modern Kubernetes operations demand declarative configuration management and secure, auditable deployment pipelines. We implement industry-leading GitOps workflows and DevSecOps practices.

GitOps for Fully Audited Change Management

Every change to your Kubernetes clusters is tracked, reviewed, and automatically deployed through Git. We implement GitOps using tools like ArgoCD and Flux, giving you:

• Complete audit trail of all cluster changes via Git history
• Pull request workflows for change approval and peer review
• Automated drift detection and reconciliation
• Rollback capabilities with full version control
• Compliance-ready change management processes

DevSecOps Pipelines as a Service

We design and operate complete CI/CD pipelines with security built-in from the start:

• Automated container image scanning for vulnerabilities
• Policy enforcement with Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Kyverno
• Secret management with HashiCorp Vault or sealed secrets
• Automated testing: unit, integration, security, and performance
• Progressive delivery: canary deployments, blue-green releases, A/B testing
• Integration with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps

EU Data Sovereignty: Why IS Nordic is Your Prime Partner

In an era of increasing regulatory complexity and geopolitical uncertainty, data sovereignty has become a critical concern for European organizations. IS Nordic offers a unique advantage: we provide modern, cloud-native Kubernetes infrastructure hosted entirely within Danish datacenters, ensuring full EU jurisdiction and compliance.

Repatriating Cloud Workloads to Denmark

Many organizations that initially moved to hyperscale public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) are now reconsidering that decision. Concerns include:

• Foreign Surveillance Laws: US CLOUD Act and FISA 702 give US authorities access to data stored by US companies, even when hosted in Europe
• Regulatory Compliance: GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and upcoming EU regulations create significant compliance challenges with non-EU cloud providers
• Cost Overruns: Cloud egress fees, unpredictable pricing, and vendor lock-in drive total cost of ownership far beyond initial estimates
• Performance: For Denmark-based applications and users, latency to international datacenters impacts user experience

Why IS Nordic for Cloud Repatriation

We provide a proven path to bring your workloads back to Denmark without sacrificing modern capabilities:

For Danish public sector organizations and enterprises handling sensitive data, IS Nordic provides the ideal balance: modern cloud-native technology with complete EU data sovereignty, trusted local partnership, and competitive economics.
