AWS Lift & Shift: Enterprise Cloud Modernisation and GitOps Deliver
Transitioning Legacy Infrastructure to High-Security, Multi-AZ Containerised Cloud Runtimes
Overview

An authoritative transition blueprint designed to bridge the gap between legacy technical execution and business strategy—replacing isolated local environments with automated, enterprise-grade cloud runtimes and GitOps delivery pipelines.

The Challenge

The client faced configuration drift, low-availability local hosting, static credential risks, and manual deployment processes. Legacy monoliths lacked automated security guardrails and cross-environment execution parity, creating compliance friction during banking audits.

The Solution

COOi engineered an end-to-end cloud modernisation architecture featuring: Terraform IaC & GitOps Assembly Lines: Replicable environments managed via version-controlled code. Containerisation & Orchestration: Multi-stage Docker builds deployed to Kubernetes and backed by AWS Multi-AZ RDS. Shift-Left DevSecOps: GitHub Actions CI/CD with OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication, and AWS Secrets Manager integration for zero static password exposure.

The Results

Zero-Trust Security: Eradicated hardcoded access keys and static database passwords across all environments.

Audit Traceability: Reversible, cryptographically signed Git SHA tracking across all deployed container artifacts.

High Availability & Scale: Dynamic horizontal scaling with automated multi-zone failover, achieving aggressive RTO/RPO compliance targets.
