CLOUD & KUBERNETES MIGRATION

Kubernetes migration services built around a migration strategy you can test, roll back and operate.

We inventory dependencies, risks and change windows before execution. Then we migrate in stages, validate, document and leave a rollback strategy proportionate to the environment.

THE PROBLEM

One missed dependency can block the entire migration.

Moving servers or containers is only one part. Data, DNS, certificates, networks, integrations, change windows and teams all need to be considered before anything moves.

WHEN TEAMS CALL US

Different migrations often begin with similar problems.

We need to move on-premise infrastructure to cloud.

We want to change provider without repeating current problems.

An application needs to move to AKS, EKS or GKE.

The current cluster is old or hard to maintain.

A legacy platform is blocking product changes.

We need to reduce disruption and have a clear way back.

WHAT WE DO

We turn an intention to migrate into a plan that can be tested.

We do not assume everything should move the same way. We classify workloads, dependencies and risk to choose the right sequence.

Discovery

Inventory applications, infrastructure, data, integrations, traffic and owners.

Dependencies

Identify communication paths and the order that constrains migration.

Target design

Define the AWS, Azure, GCP or Kubernetes destination and operating changes.

Phased plan

Group workloads, windows, owners, success criteria and decision points.

Testing

Validate connectivity, deployment, performance, data, backups and operations.

Execution

Automate and coordinate migration with traceable steps.

Validation

Check service, data, observability and dependencies after each phase.

Rollback

Document when and how to return if validation criteria are not met.

Workload

An application, service or process that needs to run on the platform.

Cutover

The moment traffic or operations switch to the new environment.

Rollback

The plan for returning to the previous environment if validation fails.

DISRUPTION AND EXPECTATIONS

We do not promise “zero downtime” as a generic claim.

Where architecture allows it, we can design strategies to minimise or avoid disruption. This must be assessed case by case.

Cloud and Kubernetes migration

Source

On-premise, current cloud provider, virtual machines or existing Kubernetes.

Cloud and Kubernetes migration

Destination

AWS, Azure, GCP, EKS, AKS, GKE or another agreed platform.

Cloud and Kubernetes migration

Automation

Terraform, OpenTofu, Docker, Helm and GitOps.

Cloud and Kubernetes migration

Operations

Observability, backups, recovery, access and post-migration procedures.

STAGEDISCOVER
STAGEPLAN
STAGETEST
STAGEMIGRATE
STAGEVALIDATE

Every phase has entry criteria, validation and a clear decision on how to proceed.

HOW WE WORK

Migration moves forward on evidence, not blind confidence.

  1. Discover

    Build the inventory and dependency map.

  2. Design

    Agree destination, phases, risks and acceptance criteria.

  3. Prepare

    Create infrastructure, automation, observability and tests.

  4. Migrate

    Execute in phases and record each change.

  5. Handover

    Validate, document and transfer operations to the team.

WHAT THE CLIENT RECEIVES

An operational destination and the information needed to maintain it.

Delivery does not end when the last data is copied.

  • Inventory and dependency map.
  • Architecture and migration plan.
  • Risk matrix and validation criteria.
  • Infrastructure and deployment code.
  • Cutover and rollback procedures.
  • Environment documentation and handover.

WHEN IT MAKES SENSE

When staying on the current platform has a clear cost or risk.

  • Hardware, versions or contracts are nearing end of life.
  • The current platform blocks delivery or growth.
  • You need to change cloud provider.
  • You want Kubernetes for a concrete reason.
  • The migration affects services that cannot move casually.

OUTCOME

A tested migration with known risks and a way back.

  • Fewer unknowns before change.
  • Clear phases and ownership.
  • A reproducible destination.
  • Technical and operational validation.
  • Documentation for the next step.

CLOUD & KUBERNETES MIGRATION

What needs to move, and what cannot go wrong during the change?

We can turn the current environment into an inventory, identify dependencies and design a controlled first phase.
