Kubernetes for telecom operations

An AWS EKS platform providing a repeatable and supportable route for deploying telecommunications services.

Environment

AWS EKS

Focus

Repeatable application delivery

Controls

Infrastructure as code and observability

Standardise delivery without hiding operations

Teams needed a consistent deployment target for services with different scaling, availability and integration requirements.

The platform had to make security, networking, monitoring and day-two ownership explicit rather than leaving each application team to solve them independently.

Delivery approach

  • Foundation. Cluster, networking, identity, ingress and baseline workload services.
  • Delivery. Repeatable infrastructure and application deployment patterns.
  • Day two. Monitoring, logging, backup, scaling, patching and operational runbooks.

What changed

  • A common platform for deploying and operating services.
  • More repeatable environments and release controls.
  • Clearer day-two responsibilities for platform and workload teams.
