DevOps automation & Kubernetes (K8s) — New Zealand
Platform engineering, automated CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code and managed Kubernetes to accelerate product delivery with reliability and security across cloud providers.
- Cloud-native platform design (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Automated CI/CD & GitOps
- IaC: Terraform, Pulumi
Why automation matters
Automation reduces toil, eliminates human error, and enables teams to ship faster. We focus on secure, auditable pipelines and repeatable infrastructure so you can scale with confidence.
Our DevOps & Kubernetes services
Platform & Cluster Engineering
Design and operate production-grade K8s platforms with multi-cluster strategy, security policies and lifecycle automation.
CI/CD & GitOps
Implement GitOps workflows, automated testing, canary rollouts and observability-driven release pipelines.
Infrastructure as Code
Repeatable infrastructure using Terraform / Pulumi, secure state management and cost-aware provisioning.
Reference architecture
We design cloud-agnostic reference architectures combining managed Kubernetes, service mesh, centralized logging, metrics and policy enforcement to meet NZ security and compliance needs.
- Managed k8s + autoscaling
- Cluster operators & GitOps control plane
- Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK
Selected case studies
Real outcomes for Kiwi organisations — platform builds, migration to Kubernetes, and fully automated delivery pipelines.
Delivered a multi-tenant Kubernetes platform, GitOps-controlled delivery and automated blue/green deployments enabling daily releases with zero downtime.
Implemented hardened clusters, policy-as-code and automated audit trails to satisfy local regulatory requirements with end-to-end CI and vulnerability scanning.
Migrated legacy workloads to containerised services, added tracing and centralized alerts, reducing incident MTTR by more than 60%.
Meet our Lead Platform Engineer — Alex
Alex leads platform design and Kubernetes operations with a background in site reliability engineering and secure cloud architecture. Works closely with NZ teams to align delivery and compliance.
Tools, integrations & compliance
We commonly work with the following tooling and standards:
- Docker & container runtime
- Kubernetes (EKS / GKE / AKS)
- Terraform, Pulumi
- Istio / Linkerd / Service Mesh
| Focus | Outcome |
|---|---|
| CI/CD | Automated tests & safe releases |
| Observability | Proactive alerts & dashboards |
| Security | Policy-as-code & scanning |
