What our engineers handle on Kubernetes
This is the hands-on work, done by a person: the jobs the automatic tools cannot do for you.
- 1Plan and run control-plane and node upgrades, one minor version at a time
- 2Configure ingress, TLS and network policies
- 3Set up persistent storage, secrets handling and resource requests and limits
- 4Back up the cluster state and volumes, for example with Velero, and test restoring
Problems we fix
Problem
Pods are evicted or stuck in Pending
What we do
We check resource requests, node pressure and scheduling rules, and fix capacity or settings.
Problem
A cluster upgrade is overdue and risky
What we do
We review deprecated APIs, rehearse on a copy and upgrade node pools in a controlled order.
Problem
The ingress shows certificate errors
What we do
We check cert-manager, DNS and the issuer, and fix what stops issuance.
Automatic tools, and our team for the rest
RootManage is automatic server management with every tool in one place. The tools run by themselves on a schedule and report to one dashboard. Everything they cannot do, and every emergency, is handled by our engineers by hand.
Automatic
RootManage tools, running by themselves
- Server Health agent reports load, disk use and failed login attempts to your dashboard.
- Metrics agent draws CPU, memory, disk and network charts, sampled every five minutes.
- Uptime checks check the server every minute and email you when it stops answering, and again when it recovers.
- Backup agent runs scheduled backups at 02:00 IST to storage we provide or to your own SFTP or S3 box, with help restoring.
Manual, by our engineers
Everything else, and every emergency
- Hands-on work. Fixes, tuning, migrations, upgrades and the other jobs listed above on this page.
- Emergency work. A hacked site, an outage or a failed update is handled by a person who investigates and fixes it, not by a script.
- Things we do not automate. Anything the tools do not cover is done by hand, over SSH, WHM or RDP, on a login you can remove at any time.
The tools are optional, run on Linux servers and are installed by you with one command each. Every job our team does is recorded as a task in your dashboard with the details, and you get an email when it is updated.
How it works
- 1
Sign up
Create an account, choose a plan and add the server you want managed.
- 2
Install the tools
Run one command per tool. They then work by themselves and report to your dashboard. For hands-on work you give us a login you can remove at any time.
- 3
Automatic, with people behind it
The tools watch, scan and back up automatically and alert you. Our engineers do the rest by hand and handle every emergency, and you follow each task in your dashboard.
Questions about Kubernetes
Do we really need Kubernetes?
Often not. For a few services a Docker Compose host is simpler and cheaper. We say so honestly and can run either.
Do you manage managed clusters such as EKS, GKE or AKS?
We work on the workloads and the cluster configuration you have access to. The provider manages the control plane itself.
What does it cost to have Kubernetes managed?
Managed plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and Kubernetes is managed as part of the server. The pricing page lists what each plan includes. If a server is already infected, the emergency cleanup is a one-time ₹9,000 job.
