Introduction
Optimisers Inc, an AWS Service Provider, proposes to migrate the Application Suite to the Kubernetes platform to improve scalability, flexibility, and performance. The company intends to use kubeadmin and kubectl to manage the Kubernetes cluster and develop an easy-to-install package that utilizes kubeadmin to deploy the Application Suite on the end-user's on-prem network. Additionally, the company proposes to offer a single-node Cassandra database deployment within the Kubernetes cluster for development and testing purposes, while production deployments will use separate Cassandra databases. This business case outlines the benefits of this migration for the end-user, Optimisers, and AWS.
Problem Statement
The current Application Suite deployment poses several challenges for the end-user, such as limited scalability, reduced flexibility, and lower performance due to hardware limitations. Managing the deployment is also time-consuming and requires significant manual intervention. The current deployment approach also presents challenges for Optimisers, including high maintenance and support costs, complex deployment management, and limited scalability. These limitations hinder the company's ability to offer efficient and cost-effective solutions to its clients. Optimisers proposes to migrate the Application Suite to the Kubernetes platform to address these challenges.
SOLUTIONS
Migrating the Application Suite to the Kubernetes platform provides several benefits, including scalability, flexibility, and improved performance. Kubernetes is a robust and flexible platform that enables seamless scaling of applications to meet growing demands, improving the end-user's experience. Additionally, Kubernetes provides better resource utilization and improved performance, reducing hardware requirements and cost. Utilizing kubeadmin and kubectl to manage the Kubernetes cluster simplifies the deployment management process and reduces maintenance and support costs for Optimisers and the end-user.
Developing an easy-to-install package that utilizes kubeadmin to get Kubernetes cluster installed on the end-user's on-prem network simplifies the deployment process, reducing the end-user's time and effort needed to deploy the Application Suite. This approach also enables the end-user to deploy the Application Suite on one or more machines, providing increased flexibility and scalability. Optimisers also proposes to offer a single-node Cassandra database deployment within the Kubernetes cluster for development and testing purposes. This option simplifies the development and testing process, reducing development time and costs.
In production scenarios, the Cassandra database will be set up separately in AWS and on-prem networks, improving data security and reliability. The Application Suite also uses a Relational Database as Data Store, which will be installed separately in all cases, further enhancing data security and reliability.
