The Challenge
- Slow-release cycles take weeks together to release new features.
- Uncertainty regarding rapid time to market and faster release cycle activities.
- Reduction required in operational overhead while keeping the release cycle rolling at a minimal cost and lacked support of a dedicated technical team. Activities.
- Lack of transparency in resolving errors.
- Lack of smoother version updates and rollbacks resulting in improper version updates.
- Inability to access the real-time application logs from their existing monitoring setup using Datadog.
- Unavailability of continuous application deployment.
Solutions
- Designed and set up an Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster.
- Configured both Linux and Windows nodes. Enabled cluster autoscaling. Configured AWS Load Balancer Controller and Nginx Ingress controller.
- Containerized the .NET applications and deployed them to ECR and resolved application-related errors.
- Deployed Highly available, scalable, fault-tolerant microservices to EKS for the specific namespaces.
- Setup single deployment for login applications and exposed using an AWS application load balancer.
- Setup dedicated Kubernetes Deployment resource per tenant for all other applications. Applications are exposed using cluster-IP service type.
- Implemented highly available Nginx ingress backed by AWS NLB for traffic management. Further, configured host-based routing along with the ingress resource.
- Accomplished HPA enablement based on CPU and memory consumptions.
- Successfully implemented infrastructure and application monitoring with AWS CloudWatch and Datadog.
- Integrated Datadog with EKS by ensuring container logs are accessible from Datadog Dashboard.
- Successfully integrated TeamCity with BitBucket by configuring it with TeamCity project.
- Integrated TeamCity with ECR by adding ECR connection in TeamCity project configuration and by adding docker support in build configuration.
- Accomplished integration of Octopus with ECR by adding AWS ECR as an Octopus External Feed.
- Integrated Octopus Deploy with EKS by adding EKS Cluster as a Kubernetes target. Create service accounts to configure the added Kubernetes target.
