Tallence Container Operations

Managed Kubernetes operations for AWS, hybrid cloud, and on-premises: node patching via rolling release, 24/7 monitoring, container security, compliance reporting, and advisory support for your development teams.

Tallence Container Operations

Tallence Container Operations

Kubernetes operations without the operational burden. On any infrastructure.

Running Kubernetes in production means owning everything the platform doesn't: node patching, image scanning, policy enforcement, backup, incident response. For most mid-market teams, that's a full-time job on top of the actual work. Node patches slip. CVEs accumulate. Cluster knowledge concentrates in a few people.

Tallence Container Operations acts as your virtual platform engineering team. We take on the operational complexity so your developers can focus on shipping features, regardless of whether your clusters run on AWS, in your own data center, or across both.

Tallence Container Operations

We replace nodes with freshly hardened images instead of patching them in-place.

On cloud and VM-based environments, we replace worker nodes with new, hardened images via rolling release instead of patching in-place. No configuration drift. No surprises from accumulated changes. On bare metal environments, we use automated patching with container-optimized operating systems that ship with a largely immutable filesystem.

The service is built on our experience operating platforms for millions of mailboxes. That monitoring discipline and operational quality is what we bring to your Kubernetes environment, wherever it runs.

Supported platforms

AWS, hybrid cloud, or on-premises. Your choice.

Regulatory requirements, data residency rules, or existing infrastructure investments often determine where workloads run. Tallence Container Operations works across all three deployment models, with the same operational standards and the same compliance reporting.

Public Cloud

Amazon EKS

Managed Kubernetes on AWS with deep EKS integration: managed node groups, Fargate profiles, AWS-native IAM, and multi-account governance through AWS Organizations. Provisioned via Terraform or AWS CDK with hardened blueprints.

Key capabilities

  • EKS managed node groups and self-managed nodes
  • AWS-native IAM and network security architecture
  • Multi-account governance through AWS Organizations
  • FinOps reporting via AWS Cost Explorer or CloudCheckr (Full-Service model with Tallence Cloud Foundation)
Hybrid

Hybrid Cloud

Kubernetes clusters that span your own data center and public cloud. Consistent operations, monitoring, and compliance reporting across both environments. Suited for organizations with data residency requirements or existing on-premises investments.

Key capabilities

  • Consistent operations across cloud and on-premises nodes
  • Unified monitoring and alerting stack
  • Data residency controls for regulated workloads
  • Declarative multi-cluster management via GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux)
  • Gradual migration path from on-premises to cloud
On-Premises

On-Premises

Kubernetes on your own infrastructure: bare metal, VMware, or private cloud. Full operational management including node patching, security hardening, and monitoring, without requiring a public cloud dependency.

Key capabilities

  • Bare metal, VMware, and private cloud support
  • Air-gapped environments for high-security requirements
  • Automated patching with container-optimized operating systems (e.g. Flatcar, Talos, Kairos)
  • Operational monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and defined alerting channels

Service modules

Three modules. One complete operations service.

Tallence Container Operations is structured in three modules that build on each other. Start with the foundation, add proactive operations, and layer in security and compliance. All modules work across AWS, hybrid, and on-premises deployments. The service covers both platform operations and advisory support for your development teams.

We provision your Kubernetes cluster using Infrastructure as Code, establish the security baseline, and integrate it into your existing infrastructure. On AWS, this means EKS with hardened blueprints and AWS Organization integration. On-premises or hybrid, we work with your existing network and identity infrastructure. We also assess your applications for suitability for container cluster operations.

Activities in Module 1

  • Kubernetes cluster provisioning via Terraform or Helm with hardened blueprints
  • Network security architecture: VPC design on AWS, network policies on-premises
  • IAM and RBAC role model aligned to your identity provider
  • Workload analysis and migration support: container suitability review, Lift & Shift or Re-Platforming
  • Monitoring stack setup: Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, alerting configuration

Outcome of this module

Production-ready cluster with security baseline and monitoring, on your chosen infrastructure

Deliverables

What you receive every month.

Every deliverable is designed for a specific audience: from your engineering team to your compliance officer.

Monthly Operations & Security Report
PDF / Dashboard

Cluster health KPIs, incident summary, patch status, CVE findings, and compliance score. Gives your CTO and security officer a complete picture of the operational state.

Node Patch Management Log
PDF

Documentation of every node rotation: previous image version, new image version, rotation date, zero-downtime confirmation. Audit evidence for your compliance team.

Container Image Vulnerability Report
PDF / Dashboard

CVE findings per image, severity classification, remediation recommendations. Prioritized so your team knows what to fix first.

Next step

Container costs need visibility too.

EKS workloads are often the largest cost driver in an AWS account. FinOps makes them transparent.
