What steps did John take to ensure a smooth migration to the containerized environment?
assistant
John Mosquera conducted an assessment of the existing infrastructure to identify bottlenecks and dependencies. He collaborated with the development team to refactor parts of the application into microservices. A CI/CD pipeline was designed and implemented for building Docker images and deploying them to AKS clusters. Helm charts were created for managing Kubernetes manifests, and RBAC policies were set up for secure cluster management. A phased rollout strategy was orchestrated, starting with non-critical workloads to test stability before migrating mission-critical components. John ensured a smooth migration by assessing the existing infrastructure, refactoring the application into microservices, implementing a CI/CD pipeline, and orchestrating a phased rollout strategy.
