About the Client
The client is a leading multinational conglomerate in India, operating across various industries. As their IT landscape grew, they sought a more scalable, resilient, and automated containerized environment to support their increasing workloads efficiently. Their key objectives included enhancing the developer experience, ensuring high availability, and optimizing workload management.
The Problem
The company faced several challenges in transitioning from Azure to a more robust containerization platform:
- Complex workload migration – Moving existing workloads without disruption.
- Limited scalability – The need for a high-availability OpenShift cluster.
- Persistent storage requirements – Ensuring reliable data retention.
- Developer inefficiencies – Enhancing the developer experience through automation.
- Integration needs – Deploying a cloud-based FinOps project on OpenShift.
To address these challenges, the client required a fully automated, scalable, and resilient OpenShift environment.
Our Approach
Lauren deployed a vSphere-based OpenShift cluster using the Installer-Provisioned Infrastructure (IPI) method, enabling seamless workload migration, automation, and scalability.
Our Development Process
Key Technologies & Features Implemented:
- OpenShift Cluster on vSphere – Set up using IPI for automated provisioning.
- High Availability (HA) Setup – Configured with 3 master and 3 worker nodes for redundancy.
- Persistent Storage – Enabled for large-scale workload management.
- S2I (Source-to-Image) & Docker Utility – Simplifying containerized deployments.
- GitLab Integration – Automating source code deployment to OpenShift.
- ELK Stack Connectivity – Establishing real-time monitoring and logging.
