Kubernetes Use Cases in Aerospace & Defense

Building Aerospace & Defense applications with Kubernetes

Implementing Aerospace & Defense-specific features using Kubernetes

Scaling Aerospace & Defense platforms with Kubernetes

Architecture Patterns for Aerospace & Defense

Pattern 1

Standard Kubernetes architecture patterns

Pattern 2

Best practices for Aerospace & Defense implementations

Pattern 3

Scalable design for Aerospace & Defense workloads

Performance

Right-size nodes and pods, use node pools for different workload types, implement proper scheduling and affinity rules, optimize container images.

Security

Implement RBAC, use network policies, scan images, implement pod security standards, use secrets management solutions, keep clusters updated.

Scaling

Kubernetes excels at scaling containerized workloads. Consider node autoscaling, pod autoscaling, and cluster autoscaler for comprehensive scaling.

Recommended Team Structure

Kubernetes requires dedicated platform/DevOps expertise. Small startups may not have bandwidth; consider managed platforms like Render or Railway instead.

Timeline: Initial cluster: 2-4 weeks, Migration to K8s: 2-6 months, Platform maturity: 6-12 months
Budget: $30,000-$100,000 for implementation (plus ongoing infrastructure costs)

Success Story: Kubernetes

Series B marketplace with 15 microservices

Challenge

Deployments were painful and unreliable. Services running on different VMs with no standardization. 2-hour deployment cycles.

Solution

Fractional CTO designed Kubernetes architecture on EKS, implemented GitOps with ArgoCD, standardized all services.

Result

Deployment time reduced from 2 hours to 10 minutes. Zero-downtime deployments achieved. Infrastructure costs reduced 30% through better resource utilization.

Timeline: 4 months
