Ship deployments without the 2 a.m. page.

I help startups and small engineering teams replace manual deployments and fragile servers with Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines — then stay on as the person who keeps them running.

If any of this sounds familiar, we should talk:

01Deployments take an SSH session and a prayer, not a pipeline.
02Nobody finds out production is down until a customer says so.
03Kubernetes is running, but nobody's fully sure how it's configured.

What I do

Fixed-scope projects to get your infrastructure under control, priced by complexity — not by the hour.

Dockerization

For teams still deploying manually. Dockerfile, Compose setup, container optimization, environment config and deployment docs.
₹15k – ₹35k

CI/CD setup

Push-to-deploy pipelines: build → test → image → registry → server, on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins.
₹20k – ₹60k

Kubernetes deployment

Deployments, services, ingress, ConfigMaps, secrets, persistent storage, health checks and rolling deploys, set up and documented.
₹30k – ₹1L+

Cloud deployment

Application live on AWS or your cloud of choice: server, Docker, Nginx, SSL, firewall, database connectivity and monitoring.
₹25k – ₹75k

Production support

Monthly retainer: monitoring, troubleshooting, SSL renewal, security checks, backup checks and incident support when things break.
from ₹15k/mo

Pricing guide

Actual quotes depend on scope and current setup — this is the range most projects fall into.

ServiceTypical range
DevOps audit₹5k – ₹15k
Dockerization₹15k – ₹35k
CI/CD setup₹20k – ₹60k
AWS / cloud deployment₹25k – ₹60k
Kubernetes deployment₹30k – ₹1L+
Production troubleshooting₹5k – ₹20k
Monthly production support₹10k – ₹35k

Most engagements start with a small audit or fix, then move to a monthly retainer once the pipeline's stable.

How an engagement runs

Three stages, in order — you can stop after any one of them.

1

Audit

I review your current infrastructure, deployment flow and monitoring, and hand you a short report: risks, gaps and a recommended architecture.

2

Fix

A fixed-scope project to implement it — Dockerize the app, wire up CI/CD, or move the deploy onto Kubernetes. You get working infrastructure and documentation.

3

Support

An optional monthly retainer to keep it running: monitoring, troubleshooting, security checks and incident support as your team grows.

About

I'm Bala Murali Krishna, a DevOps engineer working with production systems day to day — deployment pipelines, container orchestration, monitoring and the troubleshooting that comes with keeping applications live.

I take on independent consulting projects alongside that work, mostly with startups and small SaaS teams who need infrastructure that doesn't depend on one person remembering how it's wired together.

BTech in Computer Science (Bonam Venkata Chalamaiah Engineering College), IBM-certified in DevOps.

Tools I work with
