Project overview
The client embarked on a strategic cloud migration to move its on-premises Kubernetes environment to Amazon EKS — addressing scalability issues, reducing operational complexity and enhancing observability with Amazon Managed Grafana.
Challenges
- Scalability constraints in the existing on-prem Kubernetes setup
- High management overhead from manual maintenance
- Limited monitoring depth and automation
Our approach
We delivered a phased migration to Amazon EKS with rollback strategies, then layered Amazon Managed Grafana for unified observability.
Planning & migration
- Comprehensive assessment of dependencies and migration priorities
- Phased migration plan with rollback strategies
- Provisioned EKS clusters with IAM roles, secure networking and least-privilege
- AWS Migration Hub and AWS DMS for application and data transfer
- Load testing, failover simulations and security audits before go-live
Amazon Managed Grafana
- Connected to Amazon CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray and ELB for unified visibility
- Custom dashboards for CPU, memory, pod health and latency
- Proactive alerting for faster incident resolution
Outcomes
- Auto-scaling EKS dynamically adjusted to workload changes
- Reduced operational costs from managed services
- Enhanced observability with custom Grafana dashboards and alerts
- Greater resilience via Kubernetes self-healing
