Migration from kOps to EKS for Kubernetes Management

This case study details the migration of Framebridge from Kubernetes Operations (kOps) to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to enhance its technology infrastructure. Framebridge, a custom framing company, faced challenges with its existing kOps deployment, including issues related to upgrades and downtime. The decision to migrate was driven by the need for improved reliability and efficiency in managing their Kubernetes clusters. Fairwinds provided comprehensive support during the transition, including guidance on the migration process and implementing Infrastructure as Code with Terraform. The case study outlines the planning and execution phases, emphasizing the importance of minimizing downtime and ensuring seamless integration with existing workflows. Following the migration, Framebridge reported significant improvements in operational efficiency and system reliability, allowing their engineering team to focus on product development rather than infrastructure management. The partnership with Fairwinds exemplifies how expert guidance can facilitate complex transitions in cloud-native environments.
