The firm's managed services solutions aim to address two issues that most businesses with Kubernetes environments face: staffing and costs. According to SlickFinch, the process of hiring a Kubernetes engineer can take up to six months due to the rarity of and expense associated with Kubernetes infrastructure expertise.
Kube Careers, a job platform dedicated to Kubernetes-related roles, stated in its latest "State of Kubernetes Jobs" report that Kubernetes engineers command a salary between $130,948 and $183,520, with about three-quarters of the demand coming from North America.
Kubernetes, originally designed and developed by Google, is an open-source platform for deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications to handle both workloads and services. Adoption of the system has been growing steadily over recent years owing to its ability to reduce costs for organizations by making apps that require less manpower to manage.
The widespread adoption of Kubernetes globally has resulted in a spike in demand for Kubernetes engineers, a demand that the current available talent pool is failing to meet. This shortage, according to a Forbes Technology Council article in 2023, is impacting companies in various sectors in the form of project delays.
"In these situations, a managed services approach offers the most cost-effective means of obtaining Kubernetes talent without going over budget," a spokesperson from SlickFinch said. "By working with us, you'll benefit from a whole team of engineers with over 20 years of industry experience for a much lower cost."
SlickFinch's engineers are adept at architecting, building, and managing custom containerized applications within cloud-native and cloud-agnostic environments. They can also advise on the most appropriate cloud platform or set of platforms for a specific implementation.
After a preliminary consultation, SlickFinch can deploy a turnkey Kubernetes solution within two weeks or can set out recommendations and a roadmap for custom solutions.
For over two decades, the SlickFinch team has been at the forefront of DevOps architecture and deployment, with a client list that includes industry movers and shakers like Google, Facebook, Netflix, and Salesforce.
