Kubernetes (EKS) Accelerator

We understand the importance for organisations to modernise applications to realise the full capabilities and value of the cloud.

It helps customers go to market 3X faster, and achieve up to 32% faster time to insights, 21% reduction in time to resolve security incidents, 33% reduction in operational costs, and more.

Even with these benefits we also understand the challenges that slow down modernisation initiatives including leadership prioritisation, siloed org structures, lack of tech skills, value justification, and just not knowing how to start.

The Cloud Modernisation Challenges

Learn Through Experience

Our innovative Kubernetes (EKS) accelerator will "empower you" to overcome these challenges and deploy modern containerised workloads to the AWS Cloud

Organisational Alignment

Kubernetes EKS Training

Train, educate and upskill your teams on containerisation (Kubernetes on EKS) and modernising application on AWS.

Empower your teams to be 'hands on keyboards' and deploy a real containerised workload during the EBA engagement.

Deploy Containerised Workloads

Utilise Agile Ways of Working

Learn, utilise and embed new ways of agile working into your business to kick start and accelerate your agile transformation.

Accelerate Containerisation

Bring together modernisation experience, prescriptive pathways, change management principles, and cloud expertise to create and sustain cloud modernisation.

Change the way teams work from legacy siloed teams to agile empowered cross functional teams.

Cross Functional Teams

The Kubernetes (EKS) Accelerator

The AWS Modernisation (ModAx) EBA is a proven-mechanism that Enterprises at various levels of cloud maturity have harnessed to accelerate their cloud modernisation journey.

ModAx addresses the blockers in getting started. It cuts through the fear of the unknown by learning through experience in a safe environment.

We have adapted the ModAx mechanism to create the focused Kubernetes (EKS) Accelerator. This enables us to still deliver the successful ModAx outcomes but in a shortened, repeatable and lower cost EBA engagement.

How will we deliver?

Align your organisation to deliver your prioritised business value (i.e. Development, Security, Finance, Operations, Infrastructure)

This is a 4-week professional services engagement utilising the EBA methodology, to train and empower your teams to deploy a modern application, data and database to EKS and RDS on AWS.

In this 4-week engagement we still combine traditional classroom training with cloud consulting, and agile ways of working.

You will develop the knowledge and skills to de risk and accelerate your containerisation initiatives utilising the Experience-Based Acceleration (EBA) methodology.

We will train and empower your teams to deploy a non-prod modernised app, data and database to EKS and RDS respectively.

We will 'empower' your organisation to maximise your cloud benefits by modernising on containers on AWS.

What is included?

• We will asses your current AWS cloud and container skills and deliver training to address any gaps.

• We will also asses your current environment and guide you to choose an app for deployment, and then guide you to define the target state architecture and services involved.

Assess and Architect

Execution

• We will lead you in utilising the EBA methodology to plan and prepare for the deployment of the modernised app, data, and database.

• We will define the goals for the execution event and ensure the right teams are enabled and available to participate.

Assess and Architect

• We will complete a retrospective and validate the outcomes of the sprint, identifying next steps to continue your cloud modernisation journey and expedite business value.

• EBA agile methodology and AWS cloud modernisation enablement of your participating teams.

• End to end engagement management including facilitation and hosting of the agile execution sprint by our EBA experts.

• Senior AWS certified modernisation experts supporting and empowering your teams to deliver AWS cloud business value.

Expected Outcomes

• In 4-weeks your teams will deploy a non-prod modernised app, data & database to AWS utilising Kubernetes on EKS and RDS.

• Empower your teams to break down silos, and build together to deliver modernisation value.

• Accelerate and expand your organisations AWS Cloud modernisation skillset.

• Learn by experience to gain confidence and kick start your AWS modernisation journey.

• Practitioners up skilled in the application modernisation on containers in AWS and the EBA methodology.

• Break down siloed workflows and waterfall processes

Build and Deploy

• The engagement culminates in a 1-day agile sprint facilitated by us to bring all your relevant teams together i.e. Engineering, Development, Security, etc.

• In this sprint empowered by our AWS experts your teams will collaborate to deploy the modernised app, data, and database to AWS.

• Your organisation will utilise agile ways of working to accelerate business value through the proven learn through experience working model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why a Private Engagement?

Book a 1:1 with our Founder and Managing Partner Oliver Morison.

Who has their "hands on keyboards" making the technical changes?

This done by the customer teams as this is a core principle of how your teams learn through experience.

How do we select the app for modernisation on containers?

We asses your current environment and guide you to choose an app for deployment, and then guide you to define the target state architecture and services involved.

What agile ways of working will we utilise in the engagement?

The execution event is run as an agile sprint with ceremonies. Your team will define their sprint goals, epics and user stories into a backlog during the preparation and utilise a Kanban board in the sprint execution event. A retrospective will be run post the engagement to identify lessons learnt and next steps to continue your cloud journey and expedite cloud business value. This is part of the EBA methodology engagement we will do with your teams.

How do you ensure leadership buy in?

A senior customer sponsor is a pre requisite for a successful engagement to ensure the goals are aligned to business priorities, and to rally support within the organisation to provide resources and the required cross-functional teams.

What number of participants take part in the 3-day execution event?

Typically 5-7 customer participants will take part dependant on your organisation's structure.

Can our existing cloud partner take part in the engagement?

Yes, your current partner is welcome and encouraged to participate in the engagement and the 1-day sprint execution event as an extension of your teams.
