AKS is complex, and setup errors can be costly. AKS Accelerator gets your cluster built or migrated correctly, delivering a secure, production-ready environment in just a few days rather than weeks. It serves as a containerisation and cloud-native kickstarter, so you can start leveraging your AKS environment immediately.

Whether moving from VMs or starting with containers, we provide a compliant AKS setup with integrated DevOps, security, observability, and networking. Our experts detect hidden issues, guide onboarding, manage Kubernetes access, and support you throughout the process.

Fast, reliable, and efficient deployment

Faster time-to-production

Deploy a production-ready AKS cluster in days instead of weeks. A proven setup reduces early mistakes and accelerates delivery, letting teams use the cluster immediately and focus on delivering value.

Reliability and a well-structured setup

Start strong with an AKS foundation designed for stability, security, and compliance from the moment you go live. Built on Microsoft’s and Intercept’s tested best practices, it helps you avoid the common pitfalls of starting from scratch. Gain confidence knowing your production setup is ready to perform and scale reliably. Using Infrastructure-as-Code (Bicep), AKS Accelerator ensures consistent, maintainable configurations you can trust.

Security, compliance, and scalability

Security best practices built in

Built-in security, compliance, and observability form part of the foundation, including RBAC, network policies, and Key Vault integration. Launch with confidence.

Scalable by design

A modular setup that supports new environments, workloads, and services. Your cluster evolves with your products and cloud strategy, avoiding lock-in.

DevOps enablement and focus on core activities

Seamless GitOps and CI/CD integration

Integrates with your existing workflows, simplifying updates and ongoing management

Helping your team focus on what matters

Your team can focus on building apps instead of deploying Kubernetes. Infrastructure-as-Code ensures repeatable, documented setups, reducing workload and technical debt.

The ability to expand to AKS control

AKS Accelerator not only gives you the right setup for a strong kickstart, but also opens the door to full AKS management with AKS Control.
