Challenge

Financial institutions are among the most heavily regulated sectors, and as a global finance services company, the client has to comply with a set of stringent information and data security compliance requirements. It required a robust yet compliant solution for efficient cloud infrastructure management as well as handle dynamic demand of cloud infrastructure resources. Automated deployment across branches was also needed to ensure that security updates or changes can be implemented swiftly and consistently across all branches, enabling greater operational efficiency.

Solution

Cloud Kinetics completed the containerized application deployment with Kubernetes (EKS) to standardize the deployment and management of containerized applications across different environments. To ensure optimal performance, Cloud Kinetics worked with the client to come up with a roadmap for phase-wise deployment of in-scope applications to cloud across all branches. The coordinated rollout helped the client to reduce risks of disruptions, optimize cost, better manage security risks, and speed up time-to market for new applications and services.
