Cloud Native with Azure Kubernetes POC (10-day)

Cloud Native Applications Workshops (2-day)

The goal of these workshops is to engage with you in these specific topics surrounding Cloud Native application app transition, development and implementation. Secondly identify which use cases are valuable for you and translate these to a Proof-of-Concept statement of work.

Discovery workshop cloud native

• Understanding Kubernetes, cloud-native apps and supporting Azure technologies.
• Whiteboard session on mapping migration strategies and common obstacles to avoid.
• Learn how you can use Azure Arc for simplified management, enabling faster application development consistent with other Azure services to any Kubernetes distribution in any location.
• Learn how to integrate with Azure Policy through OPA Gatekeeper or git driven Operations using Azure native Flux integrations (CNCF project).

Scoping workshop to define POC applications

• Identify web applications for migration to cloud-native.
• Workshop, follow-up & planning activities for POC.

Cloud Native Proof-of-Concept Implementation (8-day)

Build activities

• Azure governance and connectivity: Enabling basic governance and connectivity.
• Azure Kubernetes: Deploy Azure Kubernetes and integrate with other Azure services like Azure Container registry, Azure monitor and Azure Policy/Security Center.
• Kubernetes internals: Examine Kubernetes components to orchestrate workloads across distributed infrastructure.
• Enable integration Azure Defender & Azure Security Center with AKS.
• Migrate the identified web applications to containerized applications running on AKS.

Deliverables

• Technical documentation of the implemented environment.
• Your application roadmap: define next steps, based on POC outcomes.
• Proof-of-Concept wrap-up and handover
