Kubernetes Operating Maturity Score
Use this when Kubernetes exists, but the team is not sure whether the operating model is robust enough for long-term scale.
Balances reliability, governance, and cost awarenessUseful before cluster support or optimization workBuilt for platform, SRE, and cloud operations teams
Assessment
Score the current state.
This scorecard checks whether Kubernetes is being run as a dependable platform or just being kept alive cluster by cluster.
Rate metrics, logging, alerting, and clarity during production issues.
Consider upgrades, backups, node management, and change planning.
Think about escalation, runbooks, SLOs, and responsibility boundaries.
Consider rightsizing, namespace ownership, cluster sprawl, and workload efficiency.

Fragile operating model
The platform likely needs stronger standards and ownership before more scale is added.
