Six things we do most

The work that fills the calendar

How We Work

10+ Years of Experience. Multiplied by AI.

Expert engineers who combine deep Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure experience with modern AI tools. The result: faster delivery, broader coverage, and systems you stop worrying about.

Faster Delivery

Terraform, K8s manifests and CI/CD pipelines drafted in hours, not days.

Security Coverage

Continuous AI scanning. CVE triage prioritised by real risk, not just CVSS score.

Performance

Anomalies caught before they become incidents. AI correlates, we act.

Cost & Billing

AI models resource usage. No more paying for infrastructure you don't use.

Monitoring

AI-assisted alerting with context. Signal over noise, always.

AI accelerates the work. Every decision, every deployment, every fix is reviewed and owned by a senior engineer with 10+ years in production.

Case Studies

Real problems, solved in production

A few recent engagements: the problem as we found it, and what changed.

Platform Migration

Headless commerce migration: zero downtime, 60% more traffic

A monolithic WordPress store where the storefront shared resources with the backend. We decoupled it into a headless architecture: WordPress kept as the backend, a containerized frontend on Kubernetes behind a CDN, multi-layer caching, and a zero-downtime delivery pipeline.

AWS Managed

The 3-second timeout that silently corrupted production deployments

An e-commerce API's auto-scaled servers kept joining production empty. The cause: a Lambda with a 3-second timeout, one second short of its real cold-start runtime. Automatic retries turned every near-miss into a duplicate, racing deployment.

Cost Optimization

A 68% infrastructure cost cut, with zero downtime and a more reliable platform

13 servers and 6 load balancers, half of them dead, running at 0.2-2.6% CPU. We measured first, then migrated to a cloud-native autoscaling architecture with an HA database cluster - cutting cost 68% with zero downtime.

How to Give Applications AWS Credentials Without Storing Any

Every long-lived access key in your account is a copy waiting to leak, and no amount of rotation discipline fixes that. The alternative is to have no key at all, because each place an application normally needs credentials already has a mechanism that hands it fresh ones on demand. This walks through instance profiles on EC2, task roles on ECS, EKS Pod Identity and IRSA on Kubernetes, and OIDC federation for a CI pipeline, with the trust policy shape for each. It also covers the one condition in the CI trust policy that decides whether the whole thing is secure or theatre.

How to Reach a Private RDS Without a Bastion Host

A jump host with a public IP and an open SSH port is the most commonly attacked thing in a lot of AWS accounts, and it exists only so somebody can occasionally run a query. Systems Manager forwards a local port through a managed node to any host that node can reach, so the database stays in its private subnet and nothing accepts inbound connections. This covers the exact command, the agent version and permissions it needs, how it works with no NAT gateway at all, and how to drop the stored database password as well.

How to Recover an EC2 Instance You Can No Longer SSH Into

When a box stops answering there is an order to work through, and two of the options only exist if somebody enabled them on a calm afternoon months earlier. This covers what the status checks are telling you, reading console output, the serial console and everything it needs configured in advance, and the volume detach and reattach route as the last resort. The part worth reading before you need it is which mechanisms have prerequisites, because that decides what is available to you at 2am.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Yes - most of our clients are startups between 5 and 30 people who need senior DevOps without hiring a full-time engineer. You get direct access to our senior engineers, no account managers.

No retainer required. We offer flexible services: beyond monthly DevOps as a Service and larger projects, we also take one-off tasks and single problems. Tell us what you need and you get a written action plan with a clear time estimate and a fixed price upfront, before any work starts. You approve it, then we do the task. A retainer only makes sense once the work is ongoing; it is not a requirement to work with us.

You get more than a pair of hands. Private DevOps LTD is a registered company with a track record and a named founder, and the senior engineer who does your work owns the outcome and knows your stack the next time you call. For infrastructure that means a proven team you can trust with production and cloud access, reachable on Slack or Viber like part of your team.

For ongoing clients, we respond within a few hours during business hours. For emergency situations, we aim to respond within 15 minutes - see the Emergency page for urgent issues.

You purchase a block of hours per month. Hours cover any DevOps tasks - deployments, debugging, infrastructure changes, security patches. Unused hours do not roll over, but packages can be adjusted monthly.

Absolutely. We work with bare-metal servers, Hetzner Cloud, AWS EC2, Laravel Forge, Plesk and cPanel environments. Kubernetes is a speciality but not a requirement.

Yes - we start with an infrastructure audit to understand what you have, identify risks, and build a plan. Most engagements begin this way.

Yes - we use AI tools for things like log analysis, CVE triage, Terraform generation, and runbook drafting. Every output is reviewed and owned by our team. It helps us move faster, but the judgment and accountability are always ours.
