Best practices for platform teams to streamline Kubernetes operations
summary
Rafay Systems offers a SaaS control plane for Amazon EKS (also AKS and GKE) that implements self-service cluster provisioning and centralized policy management with blueprints, RBAC, network policy and CI/CD pipelines. A MoneyGram deployment shrinks the EKS ops team from 12 people to four while keeping dozens of clusters and apps running, customers report production environments fully onboarded within a quarter, and the company claims measurable TCO and operational-effort reduction.
