Accelerate Development with Microservices and OpenShift

Background

As businesses strive to stay ahead of the curve, technology has become an integral part of their initiatives. However, the traditional methods of utilizing technology are too sluggish in keeping up with the rapid changes in the business ecosystem. To keep pace with digital transformation, companies are turning to deployment-centric application platforms and DevOps initiatives. Red Hat's OpenShift Container Platform, which is composed of container-based open source tools, is helping organizations accelerate application development while optimizing infrastructure usage. In addition to OpenShift, firms are seeking the scalability and reliability that AWS provides. By using AWS ROSA (Red Hat OpenShift on AWS) and AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), businesses can easily deploy and manage OpenShift deployments. Digital Alpha recognizes the importance of leveraging OpenShift and AWS and is seeking the guidance and support of an AWS Partner to assist them in deploying their microservices to OpenShift using AWS ROSA and EKS.

Features

• Container-based architecture: A container-based architecture is essential for faster and efficient application development, deployment, and scaling.
• Microservices architecture: A microservices architecture enables developers to work on smaller, independent components of an application, facilitating faster development and deployment.
• DevOps integration: Integration with DevOps tools and processes, such as CI/CD, automated testing, and deployment, streamlines the development process and accelerates delivery.
• Scalability: The solution should be designed to scale applications easily and efficiently, ensuring that they can handle increasing demand and traffic.
• Cloud-native architecture: A cloud-native architecture ensures that the solution is optimized for cloud infrastructure, making it more scalable, resilient, and cost-effective.

Benefits

• Failback time at release reduced by 95%
• Operating costs improved by 90%
• Flexible operation that withstands surges in traffic
• Spot Instances reduce Amazon EC2 costs by up to 80%
• Automated app delivery for cluster updates

Common Use Cases

• Cloud-Native Applications: Developing cloud-native applications using microservices and OpenShift can help organizations take advantage of cloud infrastructure, making it easier to scale and operate applications in the cloud.
• Digital Transformation: Modernizing legacy applications using microservices and OpenShift can help organizations streamline operations, reduce costs, and increase agility in the face of changing business requirements.
• IoT Applications: Building IoT applications with microservices and OpenShift can enable organizations to quickly develop and deploy scalable, resilient applications that can handle the unique demands of IoT devices and data.
