Enterprise Cloud Platforms & Infrastructure
Kubernetes, IaC, and production-grade orchestration
Container orchestration, infrastructure as code, and cloud-native platforms for scalable, secure, and auditable deployments. Zero-trust architecture, automated compliance verification, and multi-environment lifecycle management.
The imperative for cloud-native infrastructure
Modern organizations require infrastructure that accelerates development velocity, reduces operational overhead, and maintains security and compliance at scale. Traditional infrastructure provisioning-manual configuration, long lead times, brittle deployments-creates bottlenecks that slow innovation and increase risk. Cloud-native platforms using Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and GitOps workflows enable teams to deploy rapidly, iterate safely, and scale elastically while maintaining audit trails and compliance controls. However, Kubernetes complexity, security misconfiguration, and operational burden remain significant barriers. Organizations need production-grade platforms that provide developer productivity without compromising operational excellence. Nuwa delivers managed Kubernetes platforms, infrastructure automation, and DevOps toolchains validated through operational deployment and maintained to enterprise standards.
Research-validated cloud-native practices
Peer-reviewed research and industry studies demonstrate that cloud-native infrastructure with Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and GitOps significantly improve deployment velocity, reduce errors, and enhance security posture. CNCF Annual Survey (2024) shows organisations using Kubernetes report faster deployment cycles and reduced configuration errors compared to traditional infrastructure. Google SRE book validates that infrastructure as code reduces incident frequency and accelerates recovery time. NIST Secure Software Development Framework identifies secure development practices as essential for audit trails, compliance verification, and secure software supply chains.
Cloud-native architecture patterns
Nuwa implements proven patterns for cloud-native infrastructure that balance developer productivity, operational excellence, and security compliance.
GitOps Declarative Deployment
All infrastructure and application state defined in Git with automated reconciliation, audit trails, and rollback capability.
Applications:
Multi-environment deployment, compliance automation, disaster recovery
Service Mesh for Observability
Sidecar proxies provide encryption, authentication, and telemetry without application code changes.
Applications:
Zero-trust security, distributed tracing, traffic management
Immutable Infrastructure
Infrastructure never modified in place-always replaced. Ensures consistency, reproducibility, and audit trails.
Applications:
Regulated deployments, compliance verification, incident response
Policy as Code
Security policies, compliance rules, and operational constraints codified and enforced automatically.
Applications:
Regulatory compliance, security governance, risk management
Technical and operational challenges
Kubernetes complexity and operational burden
Kubernetes offers powerful capabilities but introduces significant complexity in networking, storage, security, and upgrade management. Organizations struggle with operational overhead, requiring specialized expertise and continuous maintenance.
Security misconfiguration and attack surface
Kubernetes security requires expertise in RBAC, network policies, pod security, secrets management, and supply chain security. Misconfigurations create vulnerabilities. CIS Kubernetes Benchmark identifies 50+ security controls requiring implementation.
Multi-environment consistency and drift prevention
Maintaining consistency across development, staging, and production environments is challenging. Configuration drift introduces bugs, security gaps, and compliance violations. Manual processes are error-prone and unauditable.
Observability and troubleshooting complexity
Distributed systems create observability challenges. Logs, metrics, and traces must be collected, correlated, and analyzed across dozens of services. Troubleshooting production incidents requires specialized tooling and expertise.
Cost optimization and resource efficiency
Cloud costs escalate without governance. Over-provisioning wastes budget; under-provisioning impacts performance. Requires continuous monitoring, rightsising, and optimization.
