For companies considering containerisation as a key part of their cloud migration strategy, our "Discover Kubernetes" Migration Planning service helps organisations prioritise requirements, and determine a high-level plan, including indicative estimates and costs, for a successful Kubernetes Implementation. Working closely with key stakeholders, we:
- Define and document cloud & containerisation goals and requirements
- Review specific cluster requirements (such as cloud environment, storage, networking and identity management)
- Consider non-functional requirements (such as security, high availability, logging, monitoring and alerting)
- Review target workloads and applications to determine potential migration approach (re-host; re-platform; re-factor)
- Review existing development approach, use of container solutions, and DevOps processes
- Define software requirements, and potential licensing / subscription costs
- Define next steps, including high-level estimates, costs and an indicative plan. - Planning service works with specific services

Tackling economic inequality
We actively seek opportunities to support and engage with local organisations, initiatives, and events that strive to improve the lives of local residents. We aim to create a lasting and positive impact.Equal opportunity
Throughout the UK (and internationally), there is widespread and ongoing concern regarding the inadequate uptake of young women in STEM-related subjects. One effective way to address this issue is by sparking interest in STEM subjects early on, especially during critical stages of education. An organisation which does this brilliantly is educational charity STEMPOINT, of which Tier 2 is a proud partner.
