Minimal Effort. Viable Results. Headshed is the home of MVK, an antidote to cloud bloat. It’s a transparent, hyper-converged Kubernetes implementation built for speed and portability. Whether you're moving from a single VM to a resilient cluster or migrating between clouds, we provide the instruction-led path to get you there in three steps.
The "Just Right" Infrastructure
MVK is a self-contained implementation designed for maximum portability. It provides the power of a 3-node resilient cluster without the need for a dedicated platform team.
Hyper-Converged: Integrated compute, storage, and networking.
Self-Hosted: Runs on your own virtual machines.
Resilient: Engineered to survive single-node failures.
Meet infctl: Your Command Gateway
Forget "black box" automation. infctl is a tiny, transparent CLI utility that manages your MVK stack without hiding the underlying manifests.
No Magic: Code so concise you can review it in one sitting.
Extensible: Use it as a stepping stone or a permanent pipeline.
Educational: Learn Kubernetes by seeing exactly what’s happening.
Infrastructure as Code by Default
MVK makes enterprise-grade business continuity available to startups and small teams. Build, destroy, and redeploy your entire environment in minutes.
Idempotent: Run your pipelines repeatedly with consistent results.
Reproducible: Version-controlled infrastructure for every environment.
Nimble: Quickly migrate from one provider to another during an outage.
Learn by Doing (Fast)
Our documentation is built on microlearning. Start with a local environment and move to a resilient production cluster through practical, bite-sized steps.
Step-by-Step: Guided paths from local k3d to multi-node k8s.
Real Workloads: Deploy self-hosted ingress, storage, and load balancing.
Expert Proven: Built from years of real-world K8s experience.
Stop Overpaying for "Managed" Convenience
Managed Kubernetes often comes with a 30–50% markup. MVK gives you the same production-grade power by self-hosting on virtual machines, directly impacting your bottom line.
Hyper-Converged: Integrated storage and networking reduce third-party fees.
Vertical & Horizontal Scaling: Pay only for the compute you actually use.
Low Overhead: Optimized for K3s to squeeze more performance out of cheaper hardware.
Enterprise Orchestration, Solo-Operator Effort
Traditional Kubernetes requires a dedicated team of engineers. MVK is designed to be simple enough for developers to manage themselves, reclaiming hundreds of hours of high-value engineering time.
Transparent Tooling:
infctlis small enough to be understood in a single sitting.Self-Managing: Automated resilient patterns reduce "pager duty" fatigue.
Microlearning: Fast-track your existing team without expensive certifications.
The Ultimate Insurance Against Vendor Lock-In
Don't let cloud providers dictate your margins. MVK’s cloud-agnostic architecture allows you to move workloads between providers in minutes, giving you the leverage to chase the best pricing.
Provider Agnostic: Run on any VM provider or even on-premise hardware.
Portable Configs: Move entire environments without rewriting your networking stack.
Disaster Recovery: Rebuild your entire infrastructure on a new provider during an outage.
From Zero to Production in 3 Steps
Speed is the most valuable ROI. MVK removes the complexity of cluster bootstrapping, allowing you to deploy resilient, production-ready workloads in hours rather than weeks.
Idempotent Workflows: Repeatable deployments ensure consistency across dev, test, and prod.
Automated Templates: Use pre-configured stacks for ingress, storage, and load balancing.
Streamlined CI/CD: Integrate
infctldirectly into your existing pipelines.
One Container. Every Tool. No Friction.
Manual environment setup is a hidden cost. inftools-cn consolidates your entire stack—Kubernetes, Python, and AI—into a single, secure container, eliminating the hours spent on manual installs and dependency hell.
Pre-Configured Stack: Includes kubectl, k3d, and docker-cli, plus Python (pip/uv) for AI workflows.
Automated Security: Built-in Trivy scanning halts deployments if critical vulnerabilities (CVEs) are detected.
Future-Ready: A unified bridge between Kubernetes administration and Agentic AI development.
