The client chose our team as it is highly trained and knowledgeable, so we can provide the necessary assistance to ensure a satisfactory customer experience.
The Challenge
Our client was obliged to modernize their infrastructure by migrating from an on-premise data center to a hybrid AWS cloud environment. The main reason for the cloud migration is the full-scale invasion of Ukraine which impacts the functioning of physical industrial power solutions. This transition aimed to provide protection against abnormal behavior, improve trust and dependability, secure testing capabilities, and optimize infrastructure costs. To ensure continuity of operations, they wanted to get those out of local data centers and onto a global cloud provider that could offer a degree of distance and resiliency they could never possibly provide on-premises. Our customer invested in an N+1 redundancy system that helped create a fault tolerance architecture.
Goals and Delivery Description
- Dynamic Scaling: The client needed to utilize Amazon EKS to scale their Kubernetes clusters dynamically. Our solution provided the flexibility and automation required to scale resources efficiently in response to demand.
- Cloud-Based Release Testing: To improve the reliability of their software releases, we enabled highly scalable cloud-based testing environments. This ensured a rigorous testing process before production deployment and instilled confidence in the reliability of our solution.
- Cost Optimization: By carefully architecting the hybrid environment and leveraging AWS’s cost-effective solutions, we helped the client significantly reduce their infrastructure costs while maintaining high performance and availability.
The Solution
- Hybrid Environment Architecture: We developed a robust architecture that seamlessly integrated their on-premise systems with AWS, ensuring a smooth transition to a hybrid cloud model.
- Database Deployment: We successfully deployed Cassandra and MariaDB databases in the AWS cloud, leveraging the cloud’s scalability and reliability to support the client’s growing data needs.
- SaaS Operations Configuration: Our team meticulously configured the cloud components to support SaaS operations, demonstrating our technical finesse. This involved preparing Golden Images and securing access to the registry, ensuring swift and efficient container image deployment.
- EKS and RDS Configuration: We set up and optimized the Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and RDS (Relational Database Service) to meet the client’s specific needs for service orchestration and database management in the cloud.
- Traffic Management: We established precise traffic processing and filtering rules to ensure seamless integration and communication between the on-premise data center and the AWS cloud.
- Service Monitoring: The Triangu team implemented continuous monitoring to ensure the stability and performance of all services, providing the client with peace of mind regarding their cloud operations.
The Final Tally
Our client faced the challenges of the ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine and required a resilient infrastructure solution to migrate their on-premise data center to a hybrid AWS cloud environment. Triangu developed a robust architecture that seamlessly integrated their existing systems with AWS, implementing dynamic scaling through Amazon EKS, optimizing database management with Cassandra and MariaDB, and ensuring SaaS operations via precise configuration of cloud components. This transition improved fault tolerance and security, optimized infrastructure costs, and enhanced service reliability through cloud-based release testing and continuous service monitoring. This project met the client’s immediate needs and positioned them for future growth and stability, leveraging the power of a hybrid cloud environment.
