Cloud Native Environment Managing multiple cloud environments can be like conducting an orchestra without a score - chaotic and unpredictable. After working with numerous organizations, we've witnessed the challenges of maintaining consistency across development, staging, and production environments. Our Cloud Native Environment solution provides a GitOps-powered implementation that ensures harmony across your entire cloud infrastructure.
A Cloud Native Environment is a comprehensive "save-as" configuration solution built on our extensive DevOps expertise. It embraces cloud-native technologies and Kubernetes control loops to create a highly-available, scalable, and self-managing environment. This solution focuses on 15-factor application principles and production readiness best practices, making it ideal for organizations seeking a robust cloud infrastructure.
Our Cloud Native Environment is built with proven, reliable technologies that work together seamlessly. At its core, we use Kubernetes for orchestration and control-loop management, providing powerful cluster management capabilities. This foundation is enhanced by ArgoCD, which enables continuous configuration synchronization and drives our GitOps workflows. For managing multi-cluster deployments and cloud resource provisioning, we implement Crossplane, while a set of components deployed by Helm Charts implementing standardized application services deployment across all environments.The infrastructure is completed with robust External Secrets and DNS Management systems, ensuring secure and consistent configuration across all clusters. These technologies work in concert to create a reliable, maintainable, and scalable cloud environment.
By implementing Tikal's Cloud Native Environment Solution, your organization will benefit from:
Ensure identical configurations across development, QA, UAT, and production environments, eliminating the "it works on my machine" syndrome
Leverage Kubernetes control loops for automatic drift detection and correction, maintaining your desired state effortlessly
Deploy across major cloud providers with configurations adjusted for optimal performance
Manage all microservices and configurations through a single repository, simplifying maintenance and updates
Implement industry best practices for monitoring, logging, security, and high availability right from the start
Implement a robust process for adding or removing components with version control and automated synchronization
Our implementation begins with a bootstrap cluster, typically running on K3d, which creates a management cluster designed to oversee multiple environment clusters. This scalable architecture provides comprehensive capabilities across your infrastructure. Through this architecture, we implement precise control over cloud provider access levels while enabling independent environment management that maintains consistency throughout your systems. The design allows for automated resource provisioning and configuration, alongside continuous synchronization between declared and actual states, ensuring your infrastructure always matches your intended specifications. Each environment cluster is designed to manage its specific applications while being overseen by the management cluster, creating a perfect balance of autonomy and control. This approach ensures that while each environment can operate independently, it remains aligned with your organization's overall infrastructure goals and security requirements.
