Full-scale Kubernetes implementation

Digital Forest engineers provided the customer with a multi-zone Kubernetes cluster.

The customer is a major US healthcare company, that specializes in distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical products throughout the whole country.

Before turning to Digital Forest engineers, the customer was running production workloads on the Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure. They believed that introducing a new approach into their processes will help them improve the efficiency of workflow processes. That's why they decided to implement a Kubernetes cluster to manage their containerized applications.

Digital Forest engineers provided the company with a Kubernetes deployment in three availability zones to ensure business continuity of the customer's operations. In addition, the team integrated a continuous delivery with a help of the Jenkins tool. Since the Kubernetes technology was relatively new to a customer's engineering department, our specialists provided them with a comprehensive documentation and covered the basics at a brief workshop.

As a result, the customer was able to run their production on a fault tolerant Kubernetes platform and the software delivery process was considerably accelerated due to automation.

Digital Forest engineers helped the customer to move their production from a private to a public cloud.

The customer is a multinational Fortune 500 computer software company, providing its clients with multimedia and creativity software products.

The customer had a Cloud Foundry installation in Openstack cloud enabled in a private datacenter. In time, the company's development department significantly expanded and they realized that they need more capacity.

Digital Forest engineers developed a migration plan, which included:

• Evaluation of a possibility and a complexity of a minimal downtime migration
  
• Enablement of 4 Cloud Foundry environments (dev, staging, QA, and prod) on a public AWS cloud
  
• High availability provisioning
  
• Migration of 40+ business application to a new cloud environment
  
• Implementation of a logging and monitoring solutions

As a result of execution of a proposed plan, the customer was enabled with a new environment in a public AWS cloud. All 40+ applications were pushed to a new environment with no downtime.

The transition to a public solution enabled the customer with a scalable product allowing them to significantly expand their application portfolio.

Digital Forest engineers helped the customer to transform their business model through an introduction of a full-scale Cloud Foundry cluster.

The customer is a China-based electronics manufacturer. The company produces telecommunications and networking equipment.

Seeking for some business upgrades, the customer conducted a thorough research and decided to implement a Cloud Foundry platform to benefit from a possibility to build, test, deploy and scale applications fast and easy.

During the project, our team implemented the following steps:

• Deployed a Cloud Foundry cluster to an AWS cloud infrastructure
• Provided high availability for the platform
• Configured basic Cloud Foundry parameters
• Connected the required services
• Configured CI/CD pipelines for a faster software delivery process
• Integrated logging and monitoring solutions
• Trained the customer team, so that they will be able to support the platform themselves

As a consequence of the Cloud Foundry platform implementation, the customer was able to improve the productivity for both developer and operations team.
