Graviton Migration Case Study
As an enterprise-scale company specializing in AI-powered data processing, xxxx business has rapidly grown over the past couple of years, reaching massive growth as it onboards more customers.
To facilitate their scale and ensure they are doing so efficiently, xxxx engineering team realized that their existing EKS Node Groups using Intel CPUs were either too expensive or, in some cases, not delivering the required performance to meet their SLA.
The ideal solution for xxxx was to migrate their EKS workloads to Dual Arch utilizing both EC2 Graviton Instances, which are ARM-based and provide better performance at a lower price, and Intel/AMD CPUs.
However, successfully migrating EKS applications built for traditional Intel-based EC2 to ARM-based Graviton requires some expertise and DevOps resources.
Moreover, due to their massive scale, their applications’ infrastructure comprised many secure and compliant resources, making the migration process a massive challenge.
xxxx selected Opsfleet because of its Graviton expertise and because it trusted them to make the migration seamless.
Since OpsFleet is an advanced AWS Partner, we had access to AWS resources and funding to kick off the migration project.
The implementation phase consisted of 3 main milestones:
Tinkering with the code libraries was the most time-consuming effort for xxxx developers, and that's where Opsfleet came in to manage and streamline the entire process.
Although some services were kept “out-of-scope” due to legacy dependencies that did not support ARM, a significant portion of the workloads were migrated successfully.
Opsfleet intensely collaborated with xxxx developers and ensured that every piece of code was detected and considered.
Opsfleet completed the migration of their applications to Graviton instances swiftly, seamlessly, and risk-free while managing the various constraints of a large enterprise:
After collaborating with Opsfleet, xxxx engineering team successfully shifted their EKS applications to Graviton-based instances. Now, they benefit from better application performance and a lower EC2 bill.
Opsfleet completed the migration to the highest standard and saved xxxx engineers plenty of time and effort in a long and daunting migration process.
Codium was using the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for all their research-related workloads and were worried about being pigeon-holed to one provider. They were motivated to migrate to AWS.
