Containers & Kubernetes

Based on market researches and our experience interacting with Clients, Containerization of workloads will be a key enabler for Enterprises.

Key drivers for adoption of Containers and Kubernetes are:

Business agility & Faster time to market
Velocity: Accelerated development velocity & increased developer productivity
Efficient DevOps: Truly write once, run anywhere
Efficiency: 36% IT Efficiency gain attributed to Containerized deployments
No Vendor Lock-in: Containers & Container orchestration – the most viable options

Key challenges with Containerization & adoption of Kubernetes adoption are:

Standardization of technology stacks, base images and services
Integrated Security: role based access controls, image vulnerability scans, patching
Communications Management between services, circuit breaking, fail over, load balancing
Taking advantage of Serverless workloads
Multi cloud cluster management, policies
Inadequate Tooling
Skill gap: Different levels of cross skilling and upskilling required

Make-the-shift

LTIMindtree’s “Make-the-Shift” offering provides a streamlined, proven, runbook-based approach to containerize and migrate application workloads out of on-premise application servers, virtual machines, docker swarm, and a set of Cloud Foundry-certified platforms (like Pivotal Cloud Foundry, IBM Cloud and Atos Cloud Foundry) into Kubernetes or a Kubernetes-based Enterprise Platform-As-A-Service like Red Hat OpenShift, Google Anthos, and Rancher. Our model follows a four-stage ( Assessment >> Readiness >> Migration >> Optimization) approach, leveraging in-house accelerators and tools in key phases of the process.

Our ARMouRed Approach for Bulletproof Migration

Our four-stage ARMouRed Approach builds a concrete platform that helps enterprises migrate their workloads to Red Hat OpenShift in a recursive pod-based strategy for maximum efficiency and minimal disruption.

Expedited by Leveraging our In-house Accelerators

LTIMindtree’s suite of in-house accelerators help enterprises expedite their migration journey, with minimal downtime or disruptions.
