Project Overview

Initial Situation

The need for flexibility and scaling of online store environments has increased more and more in recent years, not only due to the Covid19 regulations and thus the temporary closure of the retail sector. Modern cloud environments based on container technologies in conjunction with PaaS and SaaS services are suitable for flexible, horizontal scaling of online store environments.

Vision

OBI's online store environment is to be set up in such a way that it can optimally exploit the advantages of the cloud in terms of scalability, flexibility and cost optimization. To this end, the environment is to be migrated to the Amazon Web Services public cloud platform, taking modernization aspects into account, and transferred to stable operation.  

Solution

The AWS experts from Arvato Systems developed a migration concept for relocating the entire online store environments, taking into account aspects of the AWS Well-Architected Frameworks and best practices. In the first step, the first parts of the online store were containerized and implemented in AWS in corresponding EKS clusters (Container Acceleration). Arvato Systems monitors these as Elastic Applications, provides the corresponding 24/7 operation and system support, and advises on security issues if required.
