## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is Kubernetes consulting?**
Kubernetes consulting is expert advisory and implementation work to help organizations design, deploy, secure, and operate Kubernetes clusters efficiently — covering architecture, security hardening, cost optimization, AI/ML workload enablement, and platform engineering.

**Can I run vLLM and other LLMs on Kubernetes in UAE?**
Yes. vLLM runs natively on Kubernetes with GPU-enabled node pools. In UAE, options include AWS me-central-1 (Bahrain/UAE), Azure UAE North, Oracle Cloud UAE, and sovereign providers Core42 and Stargate UAE for data-residency-sensitive workloads.

**How much does Kubernetes cost in UAE?**
Managed Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE) control plane costs range $70-150/month per cluster plus compute. Typical total cluster cost for a 20-100 node production cluster in UAE regions ranges AED 15,000 - AED 80,000/month depending on GPU usage, egress, and replication. Most clusters are over-provisioned by 30-50%.

**What is Kueue and why does it matter for AI/ML?**
Kueue is a Kubernetes-native job queuing system for multi-tenant GPU scheduling. It lets multiple AI/ML teams share expensive GPU pools fairly, improving utilization from ~25% baseline to 60%+ and reducing GPU infrastructure cost.

**Do you cover Core42 and Stargate UAE?**
Yes. We deploy Kubernetes on Core42 sovereign cloud and Stargate UAE for regulated-industry customers who require data residency inside UAE sovereign boundaries under NESA and DESC requirements.
