Our Setup and Handover Process
We set up your Kubernetes cluster so that you can get started right away – including security, system environment, and a coordinated handover.
- Installation of the latest Kubernetes release
- Hardening of the cluster and the underlying operating system
- Setting up the system environment (Kubernetes cluster including CNI, cluster authentication, persistent storage, ingress controller, GitOps framework, and database cluster)
- Transfer and coordination of the data required for deployment to your developers (e.g., Helm charts or Flux configuration)
Hosting that strong brands rely on
Start-ups, medium-sized companies, and large enterprises rely on us when it comes to running their apps reliably. Especially when it comes to potential security incidents, necessary adjustments, and challenges, our customers appreciate knowing that their infrastructure is in good hands.

Point-in-time recovery for databases
With PITR, you can restore your data to the exact state it was in at a specific point in time in the past. This is particularly useful when unwanted changes, data loss, or system failures occur. You can effectively protect yourself against data loss due to human error or unforeseeable events.
In addition to its first-class software development, makandra also stands out for its ability to respond quickly and professionally to all requirements when providing operational solutions for hosting and operation.
FAQs about our managed Kubernetes hosting
The duration depends on the desired components and integrations. In many cases, a functional cluster can be set up in just a few days. For more complex requirements, we plan the implementation together with you.
Yes. We first analyze your current environment and then take over operations or migrate your workloads to our infrastructure. In doing so, we take care to keep downtime to a minimum.
Our hosting infrastructure is located in a high-availability data center in Germany. Therefore, our customers benefit from the highest security and quality standards, e.g., in terms of air conditioning, power supply, network and Internet connectivity, and physical security of the buildings.
We operate a server cluster optimized for data security and fail-safety with multiple machines to ensure smooth operation even in the event of hardware failures. For productive environments, we generally recommend the use of redundant systems.
We maintain the host systems regularly and install available security updates. We will be happy to provide further information about the equipment details on request.
Kubernetes can be configured in such a way that additional containers are automatically provisioned if load spikes. Available cluster resources apply. We continuously monitor utilization and adjust capacities together with you.
Our infrastructure is regularly hardened and provided with security updates. Daily backups, point-in-time recovery, and proactive monitoring are also standard. If necessary, we set up additional security mechanisms.
The costs depend on the infrastructure commissioned and the desired scope of services. You can adjust the services you book with us on a monthly basis. We would be happy to provide you with a transparent quote.
Open source components offer full transparency, high security through active communities, and no additional licensing costs. This allows you to remain independent of proprietary vendors.
We operate a shared responsibility system. makandra manages the cluster and certain services, while you, the customer, are responsible for your application and deployment.
