Managed Services

Someone else holds the pager

We take day-to-day responsibility for your cloud platform — monitoring, patching, upgrades, recovery — so your engineers spend their time on the applications rather than on keeping the floor from moving.

We operate

  • OpenStack
  • Kubernetes
  • OpenShift
  • Ceph
  • Terraform
  • Juju

Coverage

What we take off your team

Not advice about operations — the operations themselves. If it’s on this list, it stops being something your engineers get paged about.
  • Monitoring & incident responseContinuous health checks, alerting that has been tuned, and someone who responds rather than escalates.
  • Proactive maintenancePatching, upgrades and performance tuning done before the thing becomes an incident.
  • Security & complianceContinuous auditing against baselines and frameworks such as CIS, ISO 27001 and GDPR.
  • Capacity & costCapacity planning and right-sizing, so the platform stays efficient as usage moves.
  • Backup & recoveryBackups that get restored on a schedule, because an untested backup is a hope, not a plan.
  • Expert support, any hourCertified cloud and DevOps engineers available around the clock — the same people who know your environment.

In practice

Managed Kubernetes, concretely

Run in-house, a cluster needs version upgrades, node patching, control-plane availability and a plan for doing all of it without downtime. That work doesn’t disappear — it just stops being yours.

A production-ready platform, continuously optimised, without your team carrying the underlying complexity.

  • Version upgrades planned, rehearsed and applied without a service window
  • Node patching rolling, drained, and verified before moving on
  • Control-plane availability watched and recovered, not assumed
  • Scaling and backups handled as routine rather than as projects

Getting started

How a handover actually goes

  1. Assess

    We learn the environment as it is — including the bits that only work because someone remembers a trick.

    Before anything changes

  2. Stabilise

    Monitoring, alerting, backups and access are brought up to a known baseline first.

    The unglamorous part

  3. Take over

    We assume the rota. Escalation paths, runbooks and responsibilities are written down and agreed.

    Agreed in writing

  4. Improve

    Ongoing tuning, cost work and upgrades, reported back rather than done quietly.

    Continuous

Common questions

The things people ask first

No. You keep strategic control — architecture decisions, roadmap, what runs where. We take the operational load. Access and responsibilities are agreed explicitly at handover rather than assumed.
Usually they stop doing out-of-hours and start doing the work they were hired for. We can cover everything, or only the hours and systems you want covered — the split is part of the conversation, not a fixed package.
OpenStack, Kubernetes, OpenShift and Ceph, along with the automation around them — Terraform, Juju, Ansible. Private, hybrid or edge. If it’s something we wouldn’t run well, we’ll say so.
Reporting on what was patched, what alerted, what was restored and what changed. The point of managed services is fewer surprises, which means more visibility rather than less.

Why NubeStack

What changes when we take the rota

Run in-house

  • Your engineers carry the pager alongside their day job
  • Patching slips because there is always something more urgent
  • Backups exist; nobody has restored one this year
  • Upgrades get deferred until they become migrations
  • Knowledge lives with whoever set it up

Run with NubeStack

  • A rota of engineers who already know your environment
  • Patching and upgrades on a schedule you can see
  • Restores tested, not assumed
  • Capacity and cost reviewed while they are still small problems
  • Runbooks and reporting your team can read
