Verbaco™ Infrastructure Overview
The Verbaco™ infrastructure is designed for reliability, security, and flexibility, providing a robust foundation for deploying intelligent AI chatbots at enterprise and public sector scale. Built on Microsoft Azure, the platform leverages cloud-native components to deliver performance, control, and compliance across all layers of the solution.
Azure-Native, Secure by Default
Verbaco™ is hosted entirely on Microsoft Azure, taking full advantage of platform-level security and scalability features. Our Kubernetes-based architecture enables dynamic scaling of AI services, while maintaining strict control over ingress, authentication, and data flow.
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
Provides resilient container orchestration with automated scaling, patching, and availability zone redundancy. - Azure API Management (APIM)
Acts as the secure gateway for all chatbot and system traffic. APIM enforces policies around authentication, rate limiting, version control, and throttling. - Azure Key Vault
All secrets, API tokens, and encryption keys are securely stored and accessed via managed identities. - Azure Monitor and Log Analytics
Integrated observability tools track application performance, user interactions, and infrastructure health.
Scalable and Modular Architecture
The Verbaco™ infrastructure is modular by design, allowing organisations to deploy only the components they need, while maintaining interoperability with existing systems.
- Containerised AI Services
Each chatbot agent, NLP component, and retrieval module runs in its own container. This ensures clean separation, independent scaling, and fault tolerance. - Workflow Engine on n8n
The orchestration layer uses n8n to manage API workflows, data processing, and conditional logic, all running as stateless services within the Kubernetes cluster. - Horizontal Scaling
Verbaco™ can scale individual pods for chat, document parsing, API calls, or translation, ensuring consistent performance under load. - Custom Domains and TLS
Full support for subdomains, DNS management, and custom TLS certificates via cert-manager and DigiCert integration.
Network Security and Ingress Control
We enforce a zero-trust network model across the platform:
- All ingress traffic is routed via a secure NGINX ingress controller with TLS 1.3 encryption
- Only whitelisted APIs are exposed externally via APIM
- Internal services are isolated at the namespace and network policy level
- Outbound calls are restricted by egress policies and IP filtering
High Availability and Failover
- Multi-zone AKS deployment ensures resilience to datacentre-level failures
- Health probes and auto-restarts keep services running with minimal downtime
- Node auto-scaling allows the cluster to grow based on workload and memory thresholds
- Optional geographic redundancy across UK South, UK West, or North Europe
Deployment Options
Verbaco™ supports several flexible deployment models depending on organisational requirements:
- Public Cloud (Azure-hosted SaaS)
Fastest to deploy, maintained and secured by the Verbaco™ team. - Private Cloud / VNet-Integrated
Deployed within your Azure subscription with private endpoints and internal routing. - On-Premise or Air-Gapped
For defence, finance, or critical infrastructure, offline builds available on request.
Operations and Maintenance
- CI/CD pipelines for rapid and safe updates
- Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or Bicep
- RBAC for DevOps teams with scoped cluster access
- Optional 24/7 managed support and SLA-backed uptime guarantees
Compliance and Assurance
- Infrastructure aligned with NCSC Cloud Security Principles
- Full support for GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, and UK data residency
- Regular vulnerability scanning and patch management
- Audit logs stored in immutable formats for regulatory review
