The Solution

Cloudreach conducted an assessment of the company’s estate and processes, uncovering many instances where governance was required. 

In the design phase, Cloudreach created a tenant model for the various applications and entities, including activities such as:

  • Creating a high level enterprise structure. 
  • Standardizing usage of Terraform templates for deploying governed Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters.
  •  Improving security posture.
  •  Drafting a disaster recovery plan.

 The implementation phase involved numerous aspects, including:

  • Creating a new landing zone to empower easy onboarding of application components.
  • Using AKS to create a network infrastructure.
  • Integrating AKS clusters into the higher level tenant model.
  • Triggering the creation of new processes and modifying current ones.
