CNCF Silver Member
Consulting, implementation, training and ongoing support — on AKS, EKS and on-premises, with GitOps and CI/CD. We work embedded in our clients' engineering teams: two Kubestronauts on the team, one of them Golden.

cloudpunks GmbH is a German IT consultancy focused on cloud infrastructure, automation and platform engineering. We plan, build and keep developing Kubernetes platforms for enterprise clients — regulated industries included. We work across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and remotely across Europe. Engineers work directly with your teams: attending standups and sprint planning, reachable in chat, with cluster admin access and ownership of the work.
Teams, not tickets. Terraform before PowerPoint.
Most Kubernetes projects do not fail on the technology. They fail on unrealistic timelines, underestimated complexity and nobody owning day-2 operations. These four services exist to cover the whole life cycle rather than the launch.
Architecture and an honest answer on whether Kubernetes is the right call.
We build the platform, reproducibly, and hand over the documentation with it.
Taught by the engineers who run these platforms in production.
Ongoing support as an embedded platform team — day 2 is where Kubernetes gets expensive.
We are vendor-agnostic by default. Whether a workload belongs on managed Kubernetes or a self-managed cluster is a decision we make with you, based on your environment — not on a house default.
We review your infrastructure, applications and compliance requirements and give you a straight assessment: is Kubernetes the right path, what will it actually cost, and where are the risks?
We build the platform — highly available, secure, fully documented and reproducible from code. Your teams are trained alongside it, so you do not stay dependent on us.
After the initial build we stay as an embedded platform team, developing the platform further: upgrades, new workloads, multi-cluster expansion, cost reviews.
Honestly: Kubernetes does not fix organisational problems. If it is unclear who deploys what and who owns incidents, the best cluster in the world will not help. That part you have to solve with us — we can help, but we cannot take it off your hands.
Kubestronaut and Golden Kubestronaut are awarded to individuals, not companies, and both are held for life. Certification density of this kind is not something you hire off the market.
Member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation since August 2026.
The CNCF membership includes Silver membership of The Linux Foundation — the organisation that holds the Kubernetes trademark itself.
Two of our engineers hold the Kubestronaut title (CKA, CKAD, CKS, KCNA, KCSA). Because there are two, the expertise does not sit with a single person — not even when one of them is booked on another project.
All 16 CNCF certifications plus LFCS — the highest certification level the foundation awards.
Beyond the two Kubestronauts, further engineers hold the Certified Kubernetes Administrator credential.
Certified for AWS infrastructure: landing zones, EKS, Control Tower, CodePipeline.
Azure landing zones, AKS, Entra ID, Microsoft 365 and Intune across the Microsoft stack.
No sales pitch. We look at your situation and tell you honestly whether and how we can help — including when the answer is that you do not need Kubernetes.
