Project Overview

Prospera Soft partnered with a global retail client to enhance the deployment and scalability of their containerized applications. The client required a robust, fault-tolerant system capable of managing containerized applications efficiently, ensuring seamless scaling and self-healing capabilities.

To address these needs, Prospera Soft implemented a Kubernetes-based solution using Helm charts on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), integrated with a custom Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for enhanced security and isolation.

Client Challenges

  • Complex Container Management:
    The client struggled with managing and orchestrating containerized applications across multiple environments.
  • Scaling and High Availability:
    Handling traffic spikes and scaling workloads dynamically was a challenge.
  • Infrastructure Overhead:
    Managing on-premises infrastructure was becoming resource-intensive.
  • Network Isolation:
    Ensuring secure communication between application components was critical.

Key Highlights

Kubernetes and Pods:

Utilized Kubernetes for efficient container orchestration, with pods ensuring modularity and independent scaling of application components. Automated scheduling and load balancing optimized resource use.

Custom VPC for Enhanced Security:

Designed a VPC with private/public subnets, custom IP ranges, and availability zones for secure network isolation and efficient communication between components.

Helm Chart Development:

Developed custom Helm charts to simplify deployments, ensuring repeatability and error-free updates. Rolling updates and rollback support ensured smooth application changes.

Deployment Orchestration:

Integrated Kubernetes with Amazon EKS to automate deployment and scaling. Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and monitoring policies allowed dynamic scaling and minimal downtime.

Amazon EKS Cluster Creation:

Prospera Soft designed and deployed a highly scalable Kubernetes cluster on Amazon EKS. The cluster was configured to optimize resources and provide seamless integration with existing systems.

Helm Chart Development:

    Custom Helm charts were created to manage deployments, enabling:
  • Simplified application packaging.
  • Configurable and repeatable deployments.
  • Rolling updates and rollback support.

Results & Benefits

    Custom VPC Configuration:

    A tailored Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) was set up to enhance security and network isolation. It featured both public and private subnets, custom IP ranges, and DNS-enabled routing for efficient internal and external communication.


    Deployment Orchestration:
  • Connected Kubernetes to the EKS cluster for real-time management.
  • Deployed applications using Helm charts, ensuring consistent and error-free deployments.
  • Set up monitoring and scaling policies to adapt dynamically to workload demands.
  • Ongoing Monitoring and Scaling:
  • Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler was configured for dynamic scaling.
  • Implemented self-healing mechanisms to automatically recover pods and containers in case of failures.
    About Kubernetes and Pods:

    Kubernetes is a leading container orchestration platform that automates application deployment, scaling, and operations. Key components include:

  • Pods: The smallest deployable unit in Kubernetes, a pod can run one or more containers sharing storage, network, and lifecycle. Pods ensure efficient resource usage, rolling updates, and fault tolerance.
  • Services: Kubernetes services abstract the complexity of discovering and connecting pods, enabling seamless communication within and outside the cluster.
  • Custom VPC for Enhanced Security:
    To address the client’s requirement for network isolation, Prospera Soft designed a Custom VPC with the following specifications:
  • Private and Public Subnets: Ensuring secure segregation of application components.
  • Custom CIDR Blocks: Configured IP address ranges for efficient resource allocation.
  • Availability Zones: Enhanced fault tolerance by spanning subnets across multiple availability zones.
  • DNS Hostnames and Routing: Enabled seamless application and database communication.
  • Seamless Deployment and Scaling:
    Kubernetes enabled smooth deployments with Helm charts, ensuring consistent configurations across environments. Autoscaling reduced operational overhead during traffic spikes.
  • Enhanced Resilience and Fault Tolerance:
    Kubernetes self-healing capabilities minimized downtime by automatically recovering failed containers or pods.
  • Secure Networking:
    Custom VPC provided robust isolation and secure communication between application components, adhering to compliance standards.
  • Improved Operational Efficiency:
    Automating container orchestration freed up the client’s engineering team to focus on innovation, reducing time-to-market for new features.
  • Cost Optimization:
    Using Amazon EKS eliminated the need for managing on-premises infrastructure, significantly reducing costs.
