How Amazon EKS Anywhere facilitates hybrid cloud operations for application modernization

Jun 30, 2022 | Announcements, Migration, MSP

Gartner states that hybrid infrastructures are becoming the dominant strategy for application modernization. And that by 2025, 85% of infrastructure strategies will integrate on-premises, colocation, cloud, and edge delivery options.

The hybrid strategy embodies two areas, specific business needs and workload placement. To accomplish this, some workloads will be placed on-premises to meet security or data sovereignty compliance requirements. Other workloads will reside in a public cloud or multiple cloud environments. It will then be essential that IT tools and processes extend across these environments.

A recent cloud market study reveals that 71% of organizations want IT Ops to provide developer-ready Kubernetes that ensures cluster and application performance. Amazon EKS, a fully managed Kubernetes solution, eliminates much of the complexity associated with deploying and operating cloud-native applications. To support hybrid cloud operations, Amazon EKS Anywhere enables you to run Amazon EKS on your on-premises infrastructure with support of bare-metal clusters.

Use Amazon EKS Anywhere to:

  • Begin your move to managed Kubernetes by running Amazon EKS clusters on your on-premises infrastructure.
  • Secure your applications in a disconnected environment and maintain data sovereignty of large data sets to meet regulatory requirements.
  • Modernize on-premises applications without having to focus on Kubernetes upstream maintenance and security patches.
  • Support hybrid cloud and gain operational consistency with a toolset that is unified between Amazon EKS on AWS and on-premises Amazon EKS Anywhere.

nClouds extends fully managed developer-ready Kubernetes across hybrid cloud environments with Amazon EKS Anywhere Services by nClouds. nClouds helps you:

  • Set up a secure connection between on-premises infrastructure and AWS Cloud.
  • Install and configure Amazon EKS Anywhere on on-premises servers.
  • Set up access controls for Amazon EKS running on an on-premises infrastructure.

Amazon EKS Anywhere extends Amazon EKS’s operational consistency, reliability, and flexibility to hybrid and multi-cloud domains. nClouds builds on-premises Amazon EKS Kubernetes infrastructure for our clients. We provide flexibility for our clients to transition to running EKS clusters in their customer-managed, on-premises data center, or bare-metal clusters.”
