Earthling Interactive - DevOps & Managed Services

Role in Project

Earthling Interactive designs, builds and supports websites and web-based applications. Working with the client, WALT Labs converted Earthling’s hosting instances from a complicated Rancher environment to a pure Kubernetes environment within AWS.

‍

The Challenge

Earthling wished to decommission their old Rancher environment and move their clients to a lightweight, simple and accessible environment specifically built for a multi-cloud environment. This required a complete redesign of their containerization and orchestration platform. The necessary development and changes were beyond the current capacity of their internal development team.

‍

The Solution

WALT Labs re-architected and deployed a new hosting environment utilizing Kubernetes along with helm to help manage applications even as the environment grows. This new environment is integrated with their existing CI/CD pipeline to allow for the current DevOps practices already in place.

‍

The Results

WALT Labs delivered a new robust and scalable environment that integrated with their already existing pipelines and practices. This enabled Earthling to continue supporting and developing their clients within an up-to-date environment and provide the capability to implement updates and scale the business as needed.

‍

Key Technologies:

• Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) – Allowed Earthling to update their existing out-of-date containerization platform to an updated, more robust solution.
• Helm – Allows for the management and standardization of deployments within the Kubernetes environment.

I have worked with the WALT team and they always listen and understand our requests and questions and come up with prompt and thorough solutions. I look forward to working with them because not only are they knowledgeable, but they are also very personable and friendly.
