Platform Architecture

Six layers of enterprise-grade Kubernetes.

Every Crux Kubernetes platform is built in structured layers — from networking foundations through workload management to AI inference — ensuring each component is enterprise-grade, auditable, and independently upgradeable.

Platform Capabilities

Everything you need to run Kubernetes at enterprise scale.

EKS / AKS Cluster Design

Design production-grade Kubernetes cluster architecture — node pool strategy, multi-AZ distribution, RBAC, network policy, resource quotas and pod disruption budgets for Saudi enterprise SLAs.

EKS · AKSMulti-AZAuto-scaling
GitOps Deployment with ArgoCD

Implement GitOps continuous delivery — all application and infrastructure state defined in Git, automatically reconciled to the cluster by ArgoCD or Flux. Full audit trail for every deployment.

Cluster Security and NDMO Compliance

Implement enterprise Kubernetes security — RBAC, Vault secrets management, pod security admission, network policies, image signing with Cosign, and Falco runtime threat detection. Full NDMO audit logging.

Horizontal and Vertical Autoscaling

Configure HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) and VPA (Vertical Pod Autoscaler) policies — automatically scaling pods and nodes to meet demand while controlling cloud costs for Saudi enterprise workloads.

AI and GPU Workload Orchestration

Configure GPU node pools for AI model training and inference — NVIDIA device plugin, GPU time-slicing, Triton Inference Server deployment, and resource quotas for AI workloads on Saudi cloud.

Full-Stack Observability

Deploy Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Jaeger as the observability stack — cluster health dashboards, distributed tracing, log aggregation, and AI-powered anomaly alerting across the full Saudi enterprise platform.

FAQ

Kubernetes platform questions answered.

QWhat is a Kubernetes container platform for Saudi enterprises?
A Kubernetes container platform runs containerized applications with automatic scaling, self-healing, and zero-downtime deployments. Crux builds enterprise Kubernetes on AWS Saudi (EKS) or Azure KSA (AKS) — compliant with NDMO data residency and optimized for AI workloads.
QWhy do Saudi enterprises need Kubernetes?
Kubernetes enables Saudi enterprises to run microservices and AI workloads at scale — with automatic pod healing, horizontal scaling, and consistent deployments. It is the infrastructure foundation for Vision 2030 digital service delivery at national scale.
QDoes Kubernetes on AWS Saudi comply with NDMO?
Yes. Crux deploys EKS clusters to AWS Saudi Region (me-south-1) meeting NDMO data residency requirements. All clusters include RBAC, network policies, Vault secrets management, pod security policies, and audit logging.
QWhat is the difference between EKS and AKS for Saudi enterprises?
AWS EKS is available in AWS Saudi Region (me-south-1) — preferred for AWS-native enterprises. Azure AKS is available in UAE North — preferred for Microsoft-licensed enterprises. Crux recommends the right platform based on your existing cloud footprint and workload requirements.

Our 47 microservices were running on separate VMs — ungovernable, unpatchable, unscalable. Crux consolidated everything onto EKS in 10 weeks. We now deploy 20 times a day and our infrastructure costs dropped 52%.
