# Kangsol

> Kangsol helps tech companies and product teams modernise cloud platforms, ship production AI agents, and pass security scrutiny without slowing delivery. Senior-led, cloud-agnostic platform engineering and penetration testing.

Kangsol is a specialized engineering consultancy operating across three core pillars:
1. Cloud & Kubernetes Transformation: Migration, platform engineering, GitOps, zero-downtime cutovers, and FinOps on AWS (EKS), GCP (GKE), Azure (AKS), and hybrid environments.
2. Production AI Development & Agents: Production agent workflows, enterprise RAG, deterministic guardrails, evaluation pipelines, and private Kubernetes GPU inference clusters (vLLM / Ray).
3. Penetration Testing & Security: Web, API, cloud, and Kubernetes penetration testing, plus AI/LLM red teaming, performed by a CREST-certified team with audit-ready reporting mapped to ISO 27001 (A.8.8), SOC 2 (CC7.1), PCI DSS v4.0 (11.4), and APRA CPS 234. Retest included.
