Key Takeaways:

• Grid Dynamics delivers a cloud migration starter kit that reduces time and costs for companies moving from on-premises Pivotal Cloud Foundry (now called VMware Tanzu) to managed Azure Kubernetes Service
• The new starter kit combines Grid Dynamics' microservices platform experience with Azure to provide a reliable and scalable foundation and accelerate infrastructure provisioning
• Companies that leverage the starter kit can build a high-quality, production-ready, enterprise-grade microservices platform more quickly, accelerating the time to market of new products

SAN RAMON, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 19, 2022 / Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GDYN) (Grid Dynamics), a leader in enterprise-level digital transformation services and solutions, announced today that it has released a new starter kit to facilitate enterprise migration from Pivotal Cloud Foundry (now called VMware Tanzu) to Microsoft's Azure Kubernetes Service (Azure AKS).

The new Migration Starter Kit combines Grid Dynamics' custom microservices platform experience with Azure AKS cloud migration expertise to simplify the transition of existing Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) microservices workloads without the added time and expense needed for backend infrastructure work. With Grid Dynamics' deep experience executing complex application modernization programs, the company's newest starter kit leverages Azure AKS Blueprints. It addresses key cloud migration and microservices challenges, enabling users to build a production-ready, enterprise-grade microservices platform quickly.

"The Kubernetes Migration Starter Kit released gives companies a significant boost in their cloud migration efforts and enables enterprises to quickly create the core foundation needed to move PCF-resident applications and datastores to Azure," said Rajeev Sharma, Chief Technology Officer at Grid Dynamics. "By using the tool, companies also gain the advantage of a fully managed microservices platform, which overcomes the scalability limitations of on-premises PCF deployments and removes the need for infrastructure provisioning. As a result, the starter kit shaves months off a company's modernization efforts, improving efficiencies, reducing costs, and ultimately accelerating the time to market their digital transformation initiatives."

Data Migration and Application Modernization Out of the Box

The Grid Dynamics Starter Kit allows companies to focus on their business domain logic and enables quick onboarding of clean slate implementations. As a result, enterprises can migrate legacy applications, databases, and query caches to a cloud-based platform as a fully operational product on Azure. Additionally, the starter kit leverages Azure AKS Blueprints to implement best practices for identity access management, and provisions a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline using Azure DevOps.

The starter kit shortens the time required to provision cloud environments from months to days, enabling companies to drive business value much faster than is possible with PCF.

The Grid Dynamics Kubernetes Migration Starter Kit delivers several key out-of-the-box capabilities and benefits:

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD
• Automation identity and role management
• Standardization of infrastructure
• Scalability
• Accelerated time to market

Complementing the starter kit, Grid Dynamics offers custom consulting services to optimize the operation of an enterprise's microservices on Azure, including both data migration and application modernization, allowing users to focus on building products and services that deliver business value much faster.
