A unified approach to cloud native success
LSD Open bridges the gap between keeping the lights on and accelerating developer velocity. Our services deliver a rock-solid managed infrastructure combined with embedded platform engineering enablement.
Platform Engineering & Enablement
We don’t just host the cluster; we build the paved roads for your developers and accelerate your modernisation journey.
- Enterprise CI/CD & GitOps: Implementation of GitOps-driven deployment models and robust CI/CD pipelines using tools like OpenShift Pipelines, GitLab, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
- Cloud-Native Migration Advisory: Strategic guidance on modernising legacy infrastructure, optimising cloud cost allocation (FinOps), and migrating workloads securely.
- Team Upskilling & Shadowing: We provide hands-on shadowing, deliver documented runbooks, and actively transfer knowledge to upskill your internal teams and ensure long-term independence.
Fully managed platform operations
We provide a secure, 24/7 managed foundation so your operations team can sleep at night.
- 24/7 Lifecycle Management: Complete management of your Kubernetes clusters, including provisioning, configuration, zero-downtime upgrades, and patching aligned with strict vendor policies.
- Proactive Security & Governance: Continuous vulnerability remediation, proactive security hardening, and implementation of RBAC and network policies to maintain your enterprise compliance posture.
- L1-L3 Incident Response: Round-the-clock operational support, root-cause analysis, and rapid troubleshooting to guarantee unmatched reliability and minimise business impact.
Modern application infrastructure managed for you
Cloud-native AI-Ready Scale
Scale your application and infrastructure dynamically based on user demand. Our platforms are optimised for advanced workload orchestration, including dynamic GPU resource allocation for enterprise AI and MLOps initiatives.
Sovereign and Multi-Cloud Deployments
Deploy your platform where your business demands it. We support on-premise, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments, including Sovereign Cloud deployments designed for strict regional data residency and compliance.
Improved Developer Experience
Provide your team with a self-service Internal Developer Platform (IDP). We eliminate the cognitive load of infrastructure management and integrate DevSecOps guardrails so developers can focus solely on shipping code.
Solve your Data Centre and Virtual Machine Dilemmas
Modernise legacy workloads, escape restrictive enterprise licensing, and optimise your cloud FinOps strategy. Streamline management with VMs and containerised applications on one control plane with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
