Challenge

The client was running their Dockerized workloads on AWS EC2 instances. They were using an Application Load Balancer to route their traffic.

 

The client's success depends on;

  • Low latency between the workloads and running the workloads on the Azure Kubernetes Service.
  • Ability to failover between application workloads to maintain the service running in case of any connectivity issues between workloads Other Challenges;
  • Moving data from one cloud provider to another while ensuring data integrity and minimizing downtime.
  • Ensuring that the new Azure infrastructure was optimized for the client's needs.
  • Managing the cost of the migration and ensuring that it did not exceed the budget.

Solution

To maintain all these listed above, our team;

  • Transferred the workloads into the Local-zone(s) that are chosen close to the data centers. (Latency)

  • We developed a migration plan that involved minimizing downtime by transferring data in stages rather than all at once.
  • We worked with the client to determine the optimal Azure infrastructure based on their specific needs and requirements.
  • We provided cost optimization advice and helped the client take advantage of Azure pricing models, such as reserved instances, to reduce costs.
  • We provided them with DevOps support during migrating and creating the Kubernetes Manifest files.
  • We provided new deployment strategies to eliminate downtime on the new deployments.
  • We provided them with Application Support for their CRM tools.
