Kubernetes Platform Migration

Migrating a grown VM landscape onto a GitOps-driven Kubernetes platform.

  • Kubernetes
  • ArgoCD
  • Terraform
  • Helm
  • Prometheus

Status & progress

Completed Duration: ~4 months

Completed

  • Infrastructure as code (Terraform)
  • GitOps with ArgoCD
  • Monitoring & alerting
  • Runbooks & team training

Starting point

Services that had grown over years ran on individual, manually maintained VMs. Deployments were risky, releases took hours, and knowledge lived in the heads of a few people.

Solution

A step-by-step migration to a declarative platform — no big bang.

  • Infrastructure as code with Terraform for reproducible clusters.
  • GitOps with ArgoCD: the Git state is the single source of truth.
  • Observability with Prometheus/Grafana and meaningful alerts, not noise.
  • Runbooks & training so the team operates the platform itself.

Result

Deployments from hours to minutes, traceable changes and a team that evolves the platform independently.
