Automating Platform Management for Kubernetes Deployments

A provider of language interpretation services turned to Altoros to automate platform deployment, including monitoring, logging, ingress, and storage management. The customer is a provider of language interpretation services. For over 25 years, the company has served thousands of clients in the United States, including Fortune 500 healthcare providers. Supporting hundreds of languages, the customer translates all forms of communications (audio, video, and text). The customer had been using Rancher, an open-source distribution of Kubernetes, to manage its internal workloads, such as authentication microservices. These workloads were contained on NSX-T data centers. The interpretation service provider lacked the necessary expertise to automate platform management for smooth deployments.

 Already using VMware services at the infrastructure level, the company decided to migrate to Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition (TKGI) for improved scalability, performance, availability, and security. The customer turned to VMware to gain in-depth understanding of container orchestration and initiate the transition. The vendor recommended Altoros, a certified VMware Tanzu solutions provider, to lead the platform migration and deployment effort.

The challenges

Under the project, the team at Altoros had to address the following issues:

• Platform management was done manually, so errors during deployments were common. This resulted in days spent on configuring deployments, troubleshooting errors, and provisioning resources.
• The lack of security auditing tools made it difficult to identify security issues that affected the platform and the microservices.
• With no transparency into the platform, it was impossible to monitor resource utilization.

The outcome

The move to TKGI provided the customer with increased performance, scalability, availability, and security. With automated platform management, the company saved hundreds of engineering hours spent on manual deployment processes. By adhering to Kubernetes best practices, the customer secured its platform and microservices from unauthorized access and operations. The company increased transparency, making it easier to perform troubleshooting by adopting logging and monitoring tools. With ongoing support from Altoros, the customer gained the expertise required to optimize the platform and migrate 14 microservices, laying the foundation for migrating the rest of their operations.

Altoros is an experienced IT services provider that helps enterprises to increase operational efficiency and accelerate the delivery of innovative products by shortening time to market. Relying on the power of cloud automation, microservices, AI/ML, and industry knowledge, our customers are able to get a sustainable competitive advantage.
