Why do we need to migrate to the cloud…

An evolution happens – why even more automation, and more data? 2021 .. Huge testbed for single unit under test (UUT) 1 Operator per testbed Very high costs Exchanging of unit is labour-intesive One testing unit for multiple UUTs (Battery Cells) 1 Operator for whole lab Costs per UUT are much lower UUT exchange works automated 2021 ..

The Pain Points

Slide 13

Slide 13 text

Cloud Migration Strategy Pain Point 1

Slide 14

Slide 14 text

Cloud Migration Strategy Decide for a strategy before starting the implementation Lift & Shift (Rehost) Whole application is taken and pushed into container not possible / would cause to much costs Refactoring Rebuild

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

Pain Point 2 Starting with a too complex implementation

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

Lift and shift to container using Azure Kubernetes Service Source: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/architecture/solution-ideas/articles/migrate-existing-applications-with-aks “Easily migrate existing application to container(s) and run within the Azure managed Kubernetes service (AKS)”

Slide 17

The goal of the first implementation Azure Container Registry Azure Kubernetes Service Azure Virtual Machine Azure File Share Container 1 2 3 4

The faults 1. ACR not properly attached with AKS 2. Missing statements in Workload 3. Wrong Firewall Settings

Slide 19

The faults 1. ACR not properly attached with AKS 2. Missing statements in Workload 3. Wrong Firewall Settings nodeSelector: kubernetes.io/os: windows tolerations: - key: "kubernetes.io/os" operator: "Equal" value: "windows" effect: "NoSchedule" restartPolicy: Never backoffLimit: 4

The faults 1. ACR not properly attached with AKS 2. Missing statements in Workload 3. Wrong Firewall Settings

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

Start lightweight: use e.g. a Serverless Service Azure Container Instance

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

Pain Point 3 Manual Provisioning

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

Manual Provisioning of the resources e.g.: Creating a Kubernetes Cluster in Azure Can you reproduce your environment after the destruction?

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

Use Infrastructure as Code resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" { name = "example-resources" location = "West Europe" } resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster" "example" { name = "patricks-aks" location = azurerm_resource_group.example.location resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name dns_prefix = "exampleaks1" default_node_pool { name = "default" node_count = 1 vm_size = "Standard_D2_v2" } Terraform Configuration Azure Kubernetes Service

Slide 30

Conclusion Decide for a Cloud Migration Strategy Avoid to start with a too complex implementation – start lightweight Don‘t do manual provisioning – use Infrastructure as Code Monitoring of the costs, increase the automation
