How we migrated the manual deployments to Automated Docker Containers on-premises and cloud data centers

How we migrated the manual deployments to Automated Docker Containers on-premises and cloud data centers through Capistrano scripts which were written 15 years ago!!!!

Our client was in the midst of automating their manual deployments. They needed to transition from manual deployment to automated Docker Container deployment on-premises and in the cloud data centers.

Problems-

• Migration from manual deployment to automated Docker Containers on-premises and in cloud data centers.
• The client wanted to migrate manual deployments from Capistrano scripts written 15 years ago.
• Create a portable DevOps solution that automates the platform's cloud-native infrastructure creation and deployment.
• Automate the deployment process from beginning to end.
• Create a solution that uses container workloads to automate platform services.
• Reduce deployment times and allow for the quick deployment of new software features and security upgrades.

The objectives of this upgrading project were to:

To comply with new DevOps and cloud-native principles, modernise the entire deployment lifecycle.

Grupdev was tasked with optimising the product deployment methodology and fully automating the implementation of their application stack utilising modern DevOps practices and cloud-native frameworks.

The ultimate goal was to create an automated solution for speedier, more consistent, and more predictable.

Solution-

Grupdev began the project by doing a thorough examination of the application's current deployment model and dependent services. To get a better understanding of the system architecture, build and deployment process, and the steps involved in building a deployment artifact, a thorough analysis was conducted. Inconsistencies in deployment and manual methods were discovered. Changes to the existing architecture were addressed and documented as well. Grupdev developed a plan and roadmap for implementing the cloud-native DevOps automation solution based on the results, goals, and objectives of our client's stakeholders.

Grupdev developed a delivery model, and the team's strategy took into account all aspects of People, Processes, and Technology to guarantee that the transformation was successful.

Steps which were followed during migration-

• Migration from manual deployment to automated Docker Containers on-premises and in cloud data centers.
• Grupdev built the infrastructure set up through Jenkins Pipeline for fully automated form testing and deployment to production.

The following are some of the steps:

• Tagging and building package, building docker container, traffic shaping, deployment of the container, validation of container, and rollback option
• The approach made use of a variety of cloud-based tools.

Some tools to highlight are:

• Docker, Jenkins, Ansible, and jetty

Results-

Portable, fully automated deployment solution for cloud and on-premise environments.

A CI/CD pipeline that consistently produces a compliant, secure, and consistent deployment artifact.

Modernize infrastructure and application delivery with standardized DevOps tools.

From scratch to fully operational deployment in multiple target environments.
