Make-the-Shift
Containerize and Migrate existing application workloads out of On-prem Application Servers, Virtual Machine and Legacy PaaS to Kubernetes or a Kubernetes based platform like OpenShift, Anthos & Rancher
Based on market researches and our experience interacting with Clients, Containerization of workloads will be a key enabler for Enterprises.
What we learnt:
- Key Drivers for Customers: Business agility & Faster time to market
- Velocity: Accelerated development velocity & increased developer productivity
- Efficient DevOps: Truly write once, run anywhere
- No Vendor Lock-in: Containers & Container orchestration – the most viable options to propose
- Efficiency: 36% IT Efficiency gain attributed to Containerized deployments, even higher on Managed Services like OpenShift & Anthos
- Predictions: Market predictions favorable for increasing Container workloads in an Application portfolio
- Going Serverless: Serverless options on private cloud and multi cloud
Containerization has its share of challenges, apart from migration challenges, some key ones are:
- Standardization of technology stacks, base images and services
- Integrated Security: role based access controls, image vulnerability scans, patching
- Communications Management between services, circuit breaking, fail over, load balancing
- Taking advantage of Serverless workloads
- Multi cloud cluster management, policies
- Inadequate Tooling
- Skill gap: Different levels of cross skilling and upskilling required
LTI’s “Make-the-Shift” offering provides a streamlined, proven, runbook-based approach to containerize & migrate application workloads out of On premise Application servers, Virtual machines, Docker Swarm and a set of Cloud Foundry certified platforms (like Pivotal Cloud Foundry, IBM Cloud and Atos Cloud Foundry) into Kubernetes or a Kubernetes based Enterprise Platform-As-A-Service like Red Hat OpenShift, Google Anthos & Rancher.
