Case study Nkid’s journey to the cloud – RenovaCloud %

THE SOLUTION

With longstanding experience in cloud consultation, Renova Cloud leverages automation to help NKIDS move from on-premise infrastructure to cloud environment. We pair existing IT investments with secure, scalable solutions and overarching cloud management to create cloud-ready, agile infrastructure environments.

The target is to build a platform strategy hands in hand with Nkid that applies best practices across security, governance monitoring, storage, networking, applications life cycle management and container orchestration. Start with small, simple use cases; ensure that applications are stateless and immutable; and enforce standardization, automation and federation of clusters for easier management and rapid scalability.

Integrate platform as a service platform with continuous integration/continuous delivery, security and operational tools; if needed, then augment it with best-of-breed tooling that enables I&O to meet business SLAs and simplify developer workflow.

Create a platform ops team that works with application developers for platform selection and operations and is focused on continuous improvement to meet the required business SLAs of production applications. Renova Cloud Team has undertaken an investigation on the current situation of NKIDS and re-architect the whole system to meet the actual demand. Challenges and obstacles have been addressed along the process to set out an actionable implementation plan.
