Overview
Who this is for
Companies in Canada, the United States and Europe running containerized applications on OpenShift, from a single cluster to several environments, often in financial services, logistics, education or the public sector. The buyer is the CTO, Head of Infrastructure or platform lead.
The problem
OpenShift bundles a lot: routes, image streams, build configs, security context constraints and an operator ecosystem. Moving off it is not a lift and shift, so teams stay on aging versions and renewing licences, with a platform that takes more people to run than they have.
What we deliver
Assessment and design. We inventory applications, OpenShift objects, operators, storage and pipelines, map each to its EKS equivalent, and design the target platform: networking, identity, ingress, storage classes, observability and security policies.
Platform build. Amazon EKS clusters built with infrastructure as code, with Karpenter, the AWS Load Balancer Controller, EBS and EFS storage, EKS Pod Identity and policy enforcement in place of security context constraints.
Application migration. Routes, image streams, build configs and deployment configs are converted to Kubernetes-native resources, container images move to Amazon ECR and pipelines are rebuilt with GitOps. Applications run in parallel and cut over service by service, each with a rollback path.
Handover. Runbooks, training and a hypercare period, then your team runs the platform or Dedicatted runs it under a managed service.
For ongoing operations after cutover, see Managed Kubernetes Operations and Upgrades for Amazon EKS by Dedicatted.
AWS services integrated
Amazon EKS, Karpenter, AWS Load Balancer Controller, Amazon ECR, Amazon EBS and Amazon EFS, EKS Pod Identity, AWS Secrets Manager, Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights, Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, AWS CodePipeline or your CI system with Argo CD, and AWS Application Migration Service where virtual machines move too.
Outcomes
- Workloads off OpenShift and onto Amazon EKS, cut over service by service with a rollback path.
- Kubernetes-native manifests and GitOps pipelines your team can maintain.
- A platform defined as code, with no proprietary objects left to carry.
- A clear choice between running it yourselves or under a managed service.
Evidence
Dedicatted holds the AWS Migration and Modernization Consulting Competency and the AWS Service Delivery validation for Amazon EKS. We moved a North American cash logistics company from OpenShift to Amazon EKS and AWS Fargate, and are moving a Canadian education group off an end-of-life OpenShift platform onto Amazon EKS, with managed operations to follow.
Where we deliver
Dedicatted is an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and AWS Managed Service Provider headquartered in Toronto and Montreal, Canada. It is the first Canadian partner to hold both AWS AI Competencies (Generative AI and Agentic AI) and the first and only Canadian AWS Partner to hold the AWS Digital Sovereignty Services Competency. We deliver across Canada, the United States and Europe, in English and French, and support Canadian data residency in the AWS Canada (Central) and Canada West (Calgary) Regions.
AWS infrastructure charges
AWS bills you for the new EKS clusters and their resources from the day they are built, so during parallel running you pay for both platforms until cutover. Your OpenShift subscription stays with its current provider until you end it. We work through IAM roles you create.
Highlights
- OpenShift to Amazon EKS without a rewrite: routes, image streams, build and deployment configs and security context constraints converted to Kubernetes-native resources and policies, on EKS clusters built with infrastructure as code.
- Pipelines and cutover that keep production safe: continuous integration and continuous delivery rebuilt with GitOps, images moved to Amazon ECR, and applications run in parallel and cut over service by service with a rollback path.
- From an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with the AWS Migration and Modernization Competency and the Amazon EKS Service Delivery validation, which has moved a cash logistics platform from OpenShift to Amazon EKS and is moving an education platform the same way.
