# CloudKite — Kubernetes, AI Agents & Cloud Infrastructure

> Headquartered in Austin, CloudKite designs, builds, and operates production Kubernetes (GKE, EKS, AKS) and AI agent platforms inside client-owned cloud accounts—with Terraform, GitOps delivery, SOC 2 controls, and zero proprietary lock-in.

## Cloud Partnerships

Partnered with the clouds you build on: Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure.

- **Google Cloud — Google Cloud Partner**: GKE, cloud architecture, and data platforms. (`provider: gcp`)
- **Amazon Web Services — Select Tier Services Partner**: EKS, infrastructure automation, and cloud operations. (`provider: aws`)
- **Microsoft Azure — Microsoft Azure Partner**: AKS, cloud foundations, and deployment workflows. (`provider: azure`)

## The Blueprint: From a Commit to a Dependable Platform

Engineers and AI Agents contribute versioned code through continuous integration and GitOps delivery into Kubernetes and managed container runtimes:

1. **01 Version**: Code + infrastructure
2. **02 Build & test**: Continuous integration
3. **03 Deliver**: GitOps + automation
4. **Runtime (Kubernetes & managed containers)**:
   - **Google Cloud**: GKE / Cloud Run
   - **AWS**: EKS / ECS
   - **Azure**: AKS
5. **04 Observe & improve**: Metrics / Logs / Traces (Prometheus / Grafana / OpenTelemetry / Datadog)

## Engineering Expertise

### 01 — Get the architecture right. (`consulting.yaml`)
A clear view of your infrastructure, security requirements, and the constraints that matter. A practical plan for what comes next.
- **Focus areas**: Architecture reviews / Kubernetes migrations / Cloud strategy

### 02 — Give your team a better platform. (`platform.yaml`)
Infrastructure as code, repeatable environments, and delivery pipelines for applications and agent workloads, built alongside your engineers.
- **Focus areas**: Platform engineering / Terraform / CI/CD & GitOps

### 03 — Keep production moving. (`operations.yaml`)
Monitoring, upgrades, security maintenance, and troubleshooting from engineers who understand the systems behind your product.
- **Focus areas**: Observability / Cluster operations / Reliability

## Security & Compliance

Security in the platform. Evidence in the workflow. We help turn security requirements into controls your engineers can operate, with evidence your compliance team can use.

1. **Access you can review**: SSO, scoped roles, workload identity, and access reviews.
2. **Changes you can trace**: Reviewed infrastructure, deployment history, and audit logs.
3. **Controls you can sustain**: Monitoring, recovery practices, and maintainable SOC 2 evidence.

## Field Report: Miami Marlins (Google Cloud / Kubernetes)

We partnered with the Miami Marlins’ R&D team to migrate from on-premises servers to Google Cloud and GKE for the 2025 MLB season—deploying 50+ ML models in production, cutting routine maintenance by 87%, and reducing engineer onboarding to 30 minutes or less.

- **50+ ML models in production**: Deployed during the 2025 season.
- **87% Reduction in maintenance time**: Engineers regained time for analysis, forecasting, and internal tools.
- **30 min or less to onboard**: Standardized access, least privilege, and automated reviews.
- **Stack**: Terraform / GKE / Argo CD / Airflow

## The CloudKite Process

01. **Discover** (`discovery.md`): Map your systems, delivery workflows, and the realities of your team.
02. **Design** (`architecture.yaml`): Agree on the architecture, scope, costs, and milestones together.
03. **Implement** (`pull-request.diff`): Build alongside your engineers, with changes tracked and decisions documented.
04. **Support** (`runbook.md`): Monitor, maintain, and improve as your platform and your team evolve.
