Project overview
The client operated a legacy on-premises Kubernetes environment with outdated CI/CD processes based on Jenkins. The setup lacked modern practices like GitOps, making it harder to maintain and scale infrastructure.
Challenges
- Scalability and maintainability of infrastructure
- Manual deployment processes and lack of visibility
- Difficulty onboarding new teams into the development pipeline
Our approach
Unified Techs led a full-scale migration to AWS, delivering a GitOps-driven, cloud-native DevOps architecture built around AWS EKS, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Argo CD.
Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
- Provisioned VPC networking, EKS clusters and managed node groups
- Defined IAM roles, policies, logging and monitoring integrations
- Built modular, reusable Terraform code for consistency across environments
CI/CD modernization
- Replaced monolithic Jenkins pipelines with GitHub Actions
- Matrix-based test automation and Dockerized build workflows with caching
- Integrated code quality checks and artifact publishing
GitOps with Argo CD & Helm
- Refactored applications into Helm charts
- Argo CD auto-syncs changes from Git repositories to EKS
- Versioned deployments across dev, staging and production with RBAC
Outcomes
- Reduced deployment time from hours to minutes
- GitOps workflows enabled clear, auditable release processes
- Improved infrastructure scalability and reusability with Terraform
- Enhanced developer velocity with simplified CI/CD pipelines
- Zero-downtime cutover for critical production services
