Project Summary

This company’s platform tears down silos reduce complexity and connect groups across the enterprise for winning results. The growth of the AppDynamics Demo Platform resulted in an infrastructure that had become larger and more difficult to manage without a real orchestration tool. They were looking at the possibility of converting their Docker applications to Azure Kubernetes Services and reaping the benefits of it. IFI Techsolutions accepted the challenge given to them to help the clients do the needful.

Challenge

The client’s current environment was on AWS and had become costly, complex and difficult to maintain over time. They evaluated and explored many cloud providers and decided to expand over from AWS to Microsoft Azure for cost-saving and ease of use cloud solutions. Challenges were faced when analysing the client’s development and production environment as it is a huge organization. Assistance was needed when setting up path-based routing. Also, keeping the modernization process seamless, while making sure that each phase completes within the set timeline to avoid impact on ongoing projects was a challenging but not impossible task.

Solution

We assigned an expert team of consultants, engineers, and developers to plan the entire architecture in Azure. Following through the thoughtful evaluation process, we documented requirements that were creative, business-savy, technical, secure and financially pleasing. We did an in-depth analysis of their complete on-premise infrastructure, networking, and dependencies between systems and built and implemented a new environment with development and deployment categories using Terraform.

We helped setup a path-based routing in Azure Kubernetes Services which used Azure Application Gateway and utilized all resources provided by the clients to build an optimized infrastructure and automate the same in Azure Kubernetes and Container Orchestration by going in-depth of the configurations of the Docker Swarm files to Kubernetes files.
