We migrated a customer’s service from Digital Ocean to AWS, enhancing scalability and reliability. We containerized key services, implemented Kubernetes for orchestration, and automated infrastructure management using Terraform and Ansible. GitLab CI/CD pipelines ensured a seamless and efficient migration process.
Core Features
- Cloud Migration: Moved services from Digital Ocean to AWS for improved scalability and performance.
- Kubernetes Integration: Implemented K8S for efficient container orchestration and management.
- Containerization: Containerized critical services to ensure consistency and portability.
- Infrastructure as Code: Used Terraform to easily create, modify, and destroy AWS resources.
- Automation: Leveraged Ansible for running initialization and migration scripts.
- CI/CD Pipelines: Automated the deployment process with GitLab CI/CD for faster and reliable updates.
Technical Contributions
- Service Profiling: Analyzed and optimized services for containerization and migration.
- Kubernetes Setup: Designed and deployed a K8S cluster for container orchestration.
- Terraform Configuration: Created reusable Terraform scripts for AWS resource management.
