А company in the InsurеTech business is looking for a multi-cloud migration of its environments, and a more efficient Deployment and Delivery process for its customers.
The deployments are targeted to multi-cloud vendors including the leading providers and self-hosted clouds.
The main driver for the company is to improve the Deployment lifecycle of the application and make it error-prone.
The focal advantages of this project are:
- Cost efficiency for deployment;
- Quick installation and validation of new versions;
- Standardization across deployments
- Isolation of human errors.
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge in the project is executing strategy for multi-cloud providers and ensuring the Automation will work consistently everywhere. One of the major issues nowadays is to pick the right spectrum of technologies that will help you. When it comes to multi-cloud strategy it is always an important pick as an abstraction layer will save a decent amount of time to learn and support them in the future. In addition, the solution must also have log aggregation and monitoring components in the architecture. The observability stack should be suitable for all clouds and environments.
Multiple clouds | Observability stack | Consistency |
THE SOLUTION
In ITGix we have years of experience in automation and delivering successful cloud solutions to our customers. We have teams focused on different clouds as we know the focus is key for the success of individual targets.
In recent years one of the standards in DevOps and standardization is called Kubernetes. Technology became the de facto standard for almost all cloud providers which eased the deployments. ITGix has significant expertise in building and using Kubernetes services.
We have achieved the following goals for the project:
- Help our customers with architecture and technology to use;
- Build cross-team with members utilizing different cloud providers;
- Build automated private, Amazon, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a Code;
- Migration of solution to operators;
- End-to-end Deployment Automation;
- Observability of all components.
Our experts understand all requirements and products and together with the customer’s team we manage to find the best solution based on the latest trends and technologies. That enables the successful execution of projects and the beginning of the next phase.
In the ITGix operations model, we have divided teams with multi expertise but stressing the focus on different cloud solutions. The complexity of the different clouds and managing know-how of cloud providers are spread across these teams. For projects like this, we build a cross-technology team. That adds extra efficiency and multi-culture to the teams.
Project was delivered utilizing Kubernetes and Cloud Native ecosystem of operators. We believe this is one most reliable and consistent ways to deliver stability, scalability, and less cost for support of Kubernetes running applications.
CI/CD is a key for each customer as it enables the teams to deliver fast. Pipelining is something we use in this project together with the team to ensure we have a proper life cycle for the application.
Last but not least, there is the Observability stack. Each environment requires proper Monitoring and Alerting not only reactive but also proactive. In the Kubernetes ecosystem, the dynamicity of the applications enables greater visibility of the running stack. We apply the latest trends and service monitors to achieve the result.
Benefits for customers:
- Quick adoption of multi-cloud setup
- The efficiency of the deployment process
- Quick delivery to end customers
- End-to-end monitoring and alerting
