Greenfield AWS Setup Application Modernization Using Kubernetes

Client

The client is an India-based general insurance company, offering a robust InsurTech platform to provide digital insurance services to its customers. This company provides a wide range of products, ranging from Health to Motor and Travel Insurance, boasting end-to-end digital customer onboarding and support across all its products.

Challenges

• The client wanted to deploy one of their core insurance applications on AWS, as they needed quicker scaling to accommodate their exponential growth.
• They had created the microservices for the Non-ABS insurance applications, which they wanted to containerize and deploy on Kubernetes cluster on AWS

LTM Solutions 

• This being the first cloud deployment for the client; a greenfield AWS landing zone setup was automated, establishing organization and supporting accounts.
• A complete infrastructure build was automated using Terraform scripts, which were replicable for future deployments as well 
• A microservices-based architecture, with container management using Kubernetes, CI/CD using Jenkins and Maven, and configuration management using Ansible, was implemented. The complete architecture was designed on a scalable model within auto-scaling groups, to tackle immediate spurt in the policy processing count.
• Using the implemented architecture, the client was able to scale up their processing performance by 100 times during the pandemic, for digital policy issuance.
• In addition to the continuous consulting engagement with the client and end customers for enhancements, LTM also engaged to maintain the client’s environment 24x7, through its managed services offering
