Implement & Adopt AKS in 2-4 Weeks
The Quisitive AKS Jumpstart is designed to help organizations understand and implement solutions on Azure Kubernetes Service.
The solution is designed to take organizations from understanding the technology to deploying an AKS environment according to best practices with a single workload running on it.
At the end of this 2-4 week program with our Microsoft experts, our clients understand the technology, modernization efforts, deploying AKS, and solutions into it, to better help plan the broader adoption of AKS within the organization.
How AKS Adds Value to Your Organization
- Faster Containerized Application Development: AKS reduces time spent on debugging while also addressing patching, auto-upgrades and self-healing, significantly reducing development timelines.
- Built-in Security and Compliance: AKS offers daily patches, node image auto upgrades and planned maintenance schedules to create a security-optimized system. You’ll also have identity and access control using Azure Active Directory. With Microsoft Defender for Containers, you have also the capabilities to improve, monitor and maintain security.
- Run Any Workload in the Cloud: With AKS, you can connect your Kubernetes clusters to public cloud providers to manage application deployments, monitoring, threat protection and governance. You can also use AKS on Azure Stack HCI to run containerized applications on-premises and host Linux and Windows containers.
- Cost Optimization: AKS has built-in flexibility, allowing you to only use the resources you need with the click of a button. This reduces costs, makes scaling easier and facilitates faster start-up speeds.
Azure Kubernetes Services Jumpstart: Our Four Step Process
Step 1: Education
Overview of cloud native technology, containerization, and Azure Kubernetes Service, coupled with a modernization perspective of modernization approaches, to help provide a common organizational understanding of the core technology concepts.
Step 2: Workshops
Quisitive will deliver a Workshop series to build on the learnings to help identify a use-case for an existing service that can be modernized and targeted for deployment into an AKS cluster
Step 3 : Deployment
Establishing the Azure Kubernetes Service instance, networking, and security to support the identified use-case and necessary application updates to containerize and construct supporting Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines to build and deploy the identified solution into the AKS cluster.
Step 4: Review & Recommendations
The last step is to review lessons learned with Microsoft Kubernetes engineers, areas for additional learning, and high-level roadmap for productionalization and organizational adoption.
