⚙️ Infrastructure & Platform

We find the fragile things
before they find you.

XRAY VU Infrastructure delivers cloud architecture, Kubernetes platform engineering, infrastructure as code, and platform hardening for organizations that need their foundations to hold — under load, under attack, and under the scrutiny of a postmortem.


Infrastructure that holds.

From architecture design through operational hardening and disaster recovery, our infrastructure practice covers the full stack.

Cloud Architecture Design

Design of cloud-native architectures on AWS, Azure, and GCP. VPC design, service topology, IAM model, networking, and multi-region strategy with cost and resilience optimization.

AWSAzureGCP

Kubernetes Platform Engineering

Design, deployment, and hardening of production Kubernetes clusters. Multi-tenancy, RBAC, network policy, admission control, workload isolation, and cluster upgrade strategy.

KubernetesEKS/AKS/GKEHelm

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Terraform, Ansible, and Pulumi implementation. State management, module architecture, CI/CD integration, drift detection, and policy-as-code enforcement via Sentinel or OPA.

TerraformAnsiblePulumi

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

DR architecture design, RTO/RPO definition, runbook authorship, and DR testing execution. We design for actual recovery, not documentation compliance — then we test it.

DRRTO/RPOBackup

Network Security Architecture

VPC/VNET design, segmentation strategy, firewall rule audit, WAF configuration, DDoS protection, and private endpoint architecture for cloud and hybrid environments.

NetworkWAFSegmentation

CI/CD Pipeline Design & Security

Design of secure, fast deployment pipelines. Supply chain security, secret management, container image scanning, SAST/DAST integration, and deployment strategy (blue/green, canary).

Platform Hardening & CIS Benchmarks

Systematic hardening of cloud accounts, Kubernetes clusters, operating systems, and container images against CIS Benchmarks and vendor security baselines with automated compliance scanning.

Database Architecture & High Availability

Relational and NoSQL database architecture for production workloads. Replication, failover, connection pooling, backup strategy, encryption at rest/in transit, and query performance baseline.

PostgreSQLHAReplication

Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Strategy

Architecture guidance for organizations operating across on-premises and cloud environments. Connectivity patterns, identity federation, data residency compliance, and migration strategy.

Where our infrastructure expertise runs deep.

DomainKubernetes & Container Platforms

Kubernetes is a powerful platform that creates a complex attack surface and operational challenge when not properly engineered. XRAY VU brings deep cluster engineering experience — from node provisioning through workload isolation, network policy enforcement, secrets management, and the upgrade lifecycle that most teams dread.

  • Cluster architecture & topology
  • RBAC & namespace isolation
  • Network policy (Calico, Cilium)
  • Pod security standards
  • Admission webhooks (OPA/Gatekeeper)
  • Secrets management (Vault, SOPS)
  • Cluster upgrade strategy
  • Multi-cluster federation
DomainCloud Infrastructure & IaC

Cloud infrastructure managed through code is auditable, repeatable, and recoverable. Infrastructure managed ad-hoc through consoles accumulates undocumented drift that becomes a liability. We design IaC foundations that teams can own and extend — not fragile monoliths that only one person understands.

  • Terraform module architecture
  • State management & locking
  • Environment promotion strategy
  • Policy-as-code (Sentinel, OPA)
  • Drift detection & remediation
  • Cost estimation in pipeline
  • Multi-account/subscription patterns
  • Landing zone design
DomainResilience & Disaster Recovery

A DR plan that has never been tested is a hypothesis, not a plan. XRAY VU designs DR architectures grounded in actual RTO and RPO requirements — not aspirational targets — and designs runbooks that work in the 3am chaos of a real incident, not just in a calm planning session.

  • RTO/RPO requirement definition
  • DR architecture design
  • Backup strategy & verification
  • Failover automation design
  • Chaos engineering framework
  • Tabletop exercise facilitation
  • DR runbook authorship
  • Recovery test execution & reporting

Tools we work with.

We bring deep hands-on experience with the tools that run modern infrastructure — and the judgment to recommend what actually fits.

Every infrastructure recommendation we make accounts for the team that has to operate it. Architecturally elegant designs that require a platform engineering team of ten to maintain are not appropriate for an organization with two infrastructure engineers. We design for operational reality — and we document every decision so the team can understand, modify, and extend what we build without us in the room.


Find the fragile things first.

Start with an infrastructure assessment or a specific architecture challenge. We'll scope it clearly before any commitment.
