Size bare metal Kubernetes from real microservice demand

Run internal microservices on isolated dedicated servers sized to CPU, memory, storage I/O, and failure tolerance while your team owns orchestration, observability, upgrades, and recovery.

Scalable containerized workloads on dedicated servers

Match bare metal servers to performance workloads

Container cluster capacity sizing
Size every node from measured demand

Map CPU, memory, storage I/O, replicas, and headroom to measured demand before locking the cluster topology.

Container network topology
Separate workload roles by failure domain

Separate control-plane, worker, ingress, stateful, and observability roles so saturation stays attributable under load.

Kubernetes orchestration helm
Keep orchestration under your team's control

Own Kubernetes, Docker, or Podman, networking, secrets, and deployment automation on isolated hosts we supply.

Regional node placement
Place capacity around service dependencies

Select regions and bandwidth from service locality, data paths, and the systems each internal microservice calls.

    Measured demand drives the node plan

    Internal microservices do not become operationally clear just because they run in containers. Replica growth, east-west traffic, stateful I/O, and observability load can saturate a host before the cluster tells a useful story. Start with measured demand and failure tolerance, then assign control-plane, worker, ingress, and stateful roles deliberately before production rollout.

    At Melbicom, we provide bare metal server hosting on isolated, configurable hosts, including Intel and AMD processor options, location-specific memory and storage, regional deployment, and selectable bandwidth. The host boundary makes CPU pressure, eviction risk, queue depth, and storage contention easier to attribute without implying a managed Kubernetes layer.

    Your team owns the runtime, orchestration, CNI, secrets, registry, deployment automation, observability, backups, upgrades, and recovery. We provide the underlying infrastructure and 24/7 technical support for infrastructure issues. Validate nodes, migrate services in phases, keep rollback gates, and review capacity as demand changes; the boundary stays explicit at every step.

    Map Kubernetes on bare metal to workload roles

    Container network topology
    Control-plane capacity

    Reserve CPU, memory, and failure tolerance for schedulers, controllers, and cluster-state work under sustained load.

    Container cluster capacity sizing
    General worker pools

    Set worker capacity from replica counts, request pressure, queue depth, and measured headroom for service growth.

    API server configuration
    Ingress and API paths

    Separate ingress and internal APIs when concurrency, routing, or authentication load requires distinct capacity.

    Stateful service optimization
    Stateful service nodes

    Allocate storage and memory to databases, queues, and persistent services with explicit backup and recovery plans.

    Server telemetry statistics
    Observability workloads

    Isolate metrics, logs, and traces when ingestion or retention demand can hide application-node saturation.

    Queue worker workflow
    Batch and scheduled jobs

    Place batch work on dedicated capacity so bursts do not distort latency, eviction pressure, or service SLOs.

    Regional node map placement
    Regional service clusters

    Deploy clusters near dependent systems when data locality and service paths materially change request behavior.

    Verified infrastructure recovery
    Migration and rollback

    Validate nodes, move services in phases, check health, and keep rollback gates before expanding production.
