Safe and Secure Public Cloud and Kubernetes Migrations

Public cloud migrations involve moving data, applications, and other business services into a cloud computing environment such as AWS, Google, and Azure; all from your own cloud. It is a delicate process that requires you and your team’s full attention and planning. Planning will determine if you can budget downtime or not; and  exactly what your strategy is going to be (e.g.: lift and shift, split or route traffic, create new and decommission old, etc.). You need a foolproof process and platform that enables you to shift the workloads, or build out new work loads. If you’re employing a multi-cloud environment strategy the last thing you want is multiple tools to manage your deployments.

Attempting Kubernetes migrations and deploying your applications to new k8s targets can take hours, involve multiple people, and have downtime. As your Kubernetes adoption grows, so does the latency, and complexity of managing the growing number of accounts, configurations, and credentials. It can be a logistical nightmare, not to mention the computing resources you can burn through.
