The Challenge

Many businesses have a hard time managing and scaling their on-premises apps. These apps often come with high costs, complex maintenance, and outdated hardware. This can make it difficult for companies to keep up with their IT needs, especially when they’re already stretched thin.

The solution to these challenges is moving to the cloud. Using Kubernetes is the best way for companies to run their apps at scale, and it’s becoming a standard in the industry.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Can we migrate our legacy applications to Kubernetes?

Should we break our workloads to micro-services before migrating Kubernetes?

What do we need to get started with micro-services?

Lift & Shift to AWS EKS

Modernize Your Workloads
with Ease

Our Lift & Shift solution allows you to quickly migrate your existing applications to AWS with minimal modification. We utilize the power of AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to scale and manage your clusters in a cost-effective way. This approach is a great way to move to the cloud and a stepping stone towards a more cloud-native approach. With our expertise, we’ll help you modernize your workloads for optimal performance.

BENEFITS

Painless Access to a Modern Infrastructure

Painless Access to a Modern Infrastructure

EKS is a system that knows how to run containerized applications, regardless of their architecture. It is an excellent opportunity to modernize your toolkit and process without changing your application. Thus, it gives businesses access to a modern infrastructure to build the future.

Accelerated Application Modernization

Accelerated Application Modernization

Modernizing applications without the proper tools and infrastructure primitives is a sure and painful recipe for failure. Migrating to EKS provides access to a robust DevOps tool kit and automation best practices that you can use to modernize workloads successfully.

Increased Developer Productivity

Increased Developer Productivity

Providing developers with the tools for shipping code fast and consistently will dramatically improve their productivity.

Improved Customer Satisfaction

Improved Customer Satisfaction

Using a platform like EKS, where you can run both legacy and modern applications, will reduce the number of systems that need to be maintained, reduce human errors, enhance security and save time. This will help you increase customer satisfaction

Reduced Operational Costs

Reduced Operational Costs

Amazon EKS customers only pay for what they use, with no hardware or licensing, saving substantial costs while benefiting from the scale, performance, and security of the cloud.

Security and Compliance

Security and Compliance

EKS is fully certified and compliant with security and compliance standards such as FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI, and more. Thus, customers who operate in regulated environments don’t need to certify their control plane against these benchmarks.

Our Lift and Shift Process

Assess

Assess

Our team will collect data on your current infrastructure and applications, perform a right-sizing analysis, and estimate costs for migration. We will then create a detailed migration plan that outlines the steps required to move your applications, data, and infrastructure to AWS EKS.

Mobilize

Mobilize

Our team will deploy downscaled infrastructure and pilot applications with staging data to ensure operational readiness. We will also run tests to make sure everything is working as expected before proceeding with the migration.

Migrate

Migrate

We will replicate your data, package applications using Helm, and deploy them to EKS. Once the applications are running smoothly on EKS, we will switch traffic to the new infrastructure.

Handover

Handover

Our team will deliver documentation and runbooks to ensure your team can smoothly operate the new infrastructure. We will also present the new infrastructure to your team and provide any necessary training.

Technologies We Use

Our solution streamlines your infrastructure with AWS managed services for logging and monitoring, and includes add-ons for RDS and Elasticache so you don’t have to worry about managing those components.
We use Infrastructure as Code with Terraform for deployment and Helm for EKS components. To make operations easier, we have integrated logging and monitoring agents with OpenSearch and AMP, and use Argo for CI/CD and Falco for intrusion detection. All logs are automatically sent to the AWS OpenSearch cluster for analysis and alerts.
