Want a highly available, secure, and scalable Kubernetes platform—built the right way, with strong fundamentals (not just a managed “click next” setup)? I can build Kubernetes environments end-to-end, including from-scratch clusters on AWS EC2 (Ubuntu) using kubeadm. That covers the full foundation: control plane bootstrap, worker node join, core component validation, CNI networking (Flannel), service exposure with ClusterIP/NodePort, and persistent storage for stateful workloads using StorageClass (local-path) + PVC. You get a Kubernetes setup that’s reliable and scalable, designed to run real workloads cleanly: predictable networking, proper service routing, and persistence handled correctly for databases and stateful components. To reduce manual errors and keep everything reproducible, I can also provide Terraform-based infrastructure automation around the platform. You can see from my profile that I do not have any past jobs on Upwork, but I have been busy elsewhere, helping serious entrepreneurs and big companies build their infrastructure using AWS and industrializing it with Terraform for future use. Let’s make your Kubernetes platform solid, maintainable, and ready to scale. Contact me now to get started.
