The Problem Statement
Migrating from an on-premises Openshift environment to Amazon EKS presented challenges in ensuring seamless scalability while minimizing service disruptions. Upgrading legacy VM-based microservices to a new version and migrating selected microservices from VM to Openshift posed challenges regarding compatibility, data migration, and ensuring consistent performance throughout the migration process.
The Challenge
While undertaking this endeavor, we recognized multiple challenges like:
- Integrating credit card APIs using Lambda functions and Amazon API Gateway required addressing challenges related to serverless architecture design, efficient scalability, cost-effectiveness, and managing the operational intricacies of serverless components.
- Integrating PingOne Single Sign-On (SSO) and CyberArk for enhanced security introduced challenges related to proper configuration, ensuring a smooth user experience, and effectively managing access control and authentication across the newly migrated infrastructure.
- Utilizing Terraform, Ansible Tower, and AWS CodePipeline for infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and CI/CD pipeline establishment posed challenges in terms of defining consistent automation processes, minimizing deployment errors, and ensuring a reliable and efficient software release lifecycle.
The Solution
Netsmartz devised an intricate solution encompassing Openshift to EKS migration, microservice upgrades, Lambda and API Gateway integration, and enhanced security using PingOne SSO and CyberArk.
- We comprehensively assessed the client’s existing infrastructure and application landscape. Based on the analysis, we formulated a migration strategy to transition from on-premises Openshift to Amazon EKS, ensuring minimal disruptions and maintaining service availability.
- We implemented a phased approach to upgrade VM-based microservices to a new version. Simultaneously, selected microservices were migrated from VM to Openshift, leveraging Kubernetes’ container orchestration capabilities.
- For credit card APIs, we integrated Lambda functions with Amazon API Gateway. This serverless architecture ensured efficient scalability, reduced operational overhead, and enhanced cost-effectiveness.
- We integrated the PingOne Single Sign-On (SSO) cloud platform to enhance access security and user convenience across the newly migrated infrastructure. This improved the user experience while maintaining robust security standards.
- CyberArk was employed for password rotation and secure management of credentials. This provided a robust approach to safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining regulatory compliance.
- We used Terraform and Ansible Tower for infrastructure provisioning and configuration management, ensuring consistency and automation in resource deployment.
- Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines were established using AWS CodePipeline, enabling automated and reliable software releases.
Our Process
Netsmartz followed the following process to fulfill the requirements of the client:
Mapping & Identifying Appropriate Resources
