Cloud Migration

Cloud computing offers organisations the ability to become more cost-efficient, agile and innovative. Tier 2 offers a range of skills and services to help plan and execute a managed cloud migration strategy.

Containers, Kubernetes & the Cloud

Cloud migration – given inevitable deadlines – often needs to balance ambition and pragmatism. Container technology offers a relatively quick way to partially “modernise” applications, so they can leverage cloud benefits without having to, initially at least, recode or rebuild.

Containers are therefore a powerful enabling technology for cloud adoption, but require orchestration – this is where kubernetes fits in, as the leading open-source system for managing and running containerised applications at scale. Tier 2 are experts in native cloud platform implementations (Amazon EKS and Azure AKS), and enterprise-grade application platforms such as Red Hat OpenShift.

How Tier 2 can help

Kubernetes Cluster Planning

Tier 2 can help you design your optimal container environment by:

  • Understanding overall containerisation goals;
  • Reviewing specific requirements, such as public/private/hybrid cloud, storage, networking and identity management;
  • Considering security, high availability, logging monitoring and alerting.

Kubernetes Cluster Planning and Implementation

Kubernetes Cluster Implementation

Tier 2 can install and configure production and non-production kubernetes clusters, including storage solution, additional networking components, identity management, and logging, monitoring and alerting.

Application Migration Planning

Tier 2 will review target workloads and applications, to determine optimal migration approaches / application modernisation requirements.

Application-modernisation

Application Migration

Tier 2 can help with all migration options, from re-hosting through to Application Modernisation.

In the simplest re-hosting approach, Tier 2 will create container images of applications, configuration objects, create and refine deployment pipelines, and assist in the planning of data migration and regression testing efforts.
