The people behind
your Kubernetes clusters.
Guida is a team of certified Kubernetes engineers based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. We manage production clusters for teams in healthcare, finance, government, and software vendors.
Who we are
We believe Kubernetes requires human expertise.
Most teams can spin up a cluster. What's hard is keeping it healthy: upgrades without downtime, staying ahead of CVEs, responding at P1 incidents. That's the work we were built for.
We work with teams where Kubernetes uptime, security, and data sovereignty aren't optional.

What drives us
Our values
Trust
We believe that trust is essential for successful cooperation, within Guida, across the Intermax Group, and with our customers.
Curious
We are passionate about our profession and learn every day. Putting that knowledge into practice is what makes us good at what we do.
Transparency
In everything we do we are open and transparent, to be as clear as possible to each other and to our customers.
Collaboration
We believe in using each other's strengths, sharing knowledge, and trusting that you achieve more together than alone.
Life at Guida
Work that matters. High trust.
Our leadership style is informal and focuses on process; we monitor results. Self-managing teams work in an agile way where collaboration, trust, transparency, and continuous improvement are what matter.
We take the personal situation of our employees seriously. Guida is a proponent of location-independent working; we don't ask anyone to be in the office five days a week from 9 to 5.

How we work
Our principles
Intermax, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud. We run Kubernetes wherever your workloads need to be.
Our team and your cloud infrastructure is in The Netherlands, when that is required. We're ISO27001 certified.
Gateway API, Prometheus, FluxCD, Velero, Cert-Manager: battle-tested and open-source.
When you contact us, you talk to the engineer who runs your cluster.
Default-deny network policies, RBAC least privilege, hardened baselines. Security is in the cluster from day one, not bolted on later.
We invest time understanding your team, your workloads, and your goals, because that's what it takes to keep production reliable.
