As part of our cloud optimization and development acceleration initiatives, we are exploring a hybrid cloud approach where non-production workloads, particularly those involving Kubernetes and relational databases, are deployed on E2E Cloud, with production workloads remaining on AWS. This strategy aims to leverage E2E Cloud for cost efficiency and scalability in development and testing phases, while capitalizing on the robustness and breadth of services offered by AWS for production.
Evaluate the technical feasibility, performance, security, and cost-effectiveness of utilizing E2E Cloud for non-production environments, specifically focusing on Kubernetes and relational database services comparable to AWS's EKS and RDS. Develop a CI/CD framework that enables automated, seamless deployment across both cloud platforms.
- Service Compatibility: Assess E2E Cloud's capabilities to support Kubernetes clusters and relational databases in line with EKS and RDS features and performance metrics.
- Automation and CI/CD: Design a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline that automates the deployment process to E2E Cloud for non-production and AWS for production, ensuring minimal manual intervention.
- Cost-Benefit Analysis: Perform a detailed comparison of costs involved in running non-production environments on E2E Cloud versus AWS, highlighting potential savings.
- Security and Compliance: Verify that deploying on E2E Cloud meets our organization's stringent security and compliance requirements for non-production data and applications.
- Performance Benchmarking: Benchmark the performance of non-production workloads on E2E Cloud against AWS, ensuring that developer experience and application testing are not compromised.
- Compatibility and Feasibility Report: Insights on integrating E2E Cloud with our current AWS infrastructure, with a focus on Kubernetes and database services.
- CI/CD Pipeline Architecture: Detailed documentation of the CI/CD pipeline architecture, including tool selection, configuration, and operational workflows.
- Cost Analysis Document: Comparative analysis of the operational costs associated with running non-production workloads on E2E Cloud versus AWS.
- Security Assessment: A comprehensive review of E2E Cloud's security features and compliance posture in relation to our non-production workload requirements.
- Performance Benchmark Report: A report detailing the performance of non-production workloads on E2E Cloud, ensuring they meet or exceed our current standards on AWS.
- Implementation Roadmap: A phased plan for integrating E2E Cloud into our development lifecycle, complete with timelines, required resources, and key milestones.
