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.

Get started

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: infctl is 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 infctl directly 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.
