Move to Containers
“We're managing Kubernetes ourselves and it's eating all our time”
Self-managed container orchestration. Your engineers are Kubernetes administrators first, product builders second. Upgrades are risky, scaling is manual, and nobody trusts the disaster recovery.

Your team manages applications, not infrastructure.
Fully managed container platform on ECS or EKS. Automated scaling, rolling deployments, and integrated CI/CD. Your engineers deploy with confidence and focus on the product.
You containerised your applications to move faster. Docker images, orchestration, service meshes. The modern stack. But somewhere along the way, the infrastructure that was supposed to simplify things became the main thing your team manages.
Kubernetes upgrades consume entire sprints. Networking issues take days to diagnose. Scaling is either manual or configured by someone who’s since left. The container platform that was meant to accelerate delivery has become its own full-time job.
Why self-managed orchestration becomes a burden
Container orchestration is deceptively complex. Running a demo cluster is easy. Running a production cluster with high availability, automatic scaling, security patching, and disaster recovery is a different discipline entirely.
Your engineers are capable. They got it working. But “working” and “production-grade” aren’t the same thing. Every upgrade carries risk because the cluster configuration has drifted from the documentation. Scaling policies were set once and never revisited. The disaster recovery plan exists on paper but hasn’t been tested.
Meanwhile, AWS offers fully managed container platforms that handle the undifferentiated heavy lifting. Your team’s Kubernetes expertise isn’t wasted. It’s redirected from cluster maintenance to application architecture.
How we migrate containers
We don’t rip out your existing setup overnight. We migrate workloads incrementally, validating each one before moving the next.
Platform decision first. ECS or EKS isn’t a religious debate. It’s an engineering decision based on your team’s skills, your workload characteristics, and where you’re heading. We assess all three and recommend accordingly.
CI/CD before migration. Automated pipelines for building, scanning, and deploying container images are established before the first workload moves. This ensures every migration is repeatable and every deployment is trustworthy.
One workload at a time. Each container workload is assessed, decoupled from custom orchestration, and migrated to the managed platform. Traffic shifts gradually. Rollback is always available. No big-bang cutovers.
What's usually in the way
-
Existing containers tightly coupled to custom orchestration
Your Dockerfiles, service definitions, and networking are built around a specific orchestrator's quirks. Moving isn't just a lift. It's untangling years of workarounds and custom tooling.
-
No CI/CD pipeline for container builds
Images are built manually or with fragile scripts. There's no automated path from code commit to running container. Every deployment involves someone's laptop and a prayer.
-
Unclear whether ECS or EKS is the right fit
Both platforms run containers, but the operational models are fundamentally different. Choosing wrong means either overcomplicating a simple workload or outgrowing the platform within a year.
What we resolve
-
Assess and migrate container workloads incrementally
We audit your existing containers, decouple them from custom orchestration, and migrate one workload at a time. Each migration is validated before the next begins.
-
Automated image builds and deployments from day one
CI/CD pipelines that build, test, scan, and deploy container images automatically. No manual steps. No laptop deployments. Every change goes through the same trusted path.
-
Architecture decision based on your team and workloads
ECS for teams that want simplicity and tight AWS integration. EKS for teams with Kubernetes expertise and multi-cloud requirements. We recommend based on your skills, workloads, and roadmap, not our preference.
