Travel technology platform: Rancher-to-EKS and Jenkins migration work
This delivery programme covered a large Jenkins estate and a full Rancher-to-AWS EKS migration for a B2B travel technology platform.
Challenge
The platform was operating across more than 40 Jenkins instances and 800 jobs, with an on-premise Rancher estate and a growing need to move workloads onto AWS EKS without disrupting delivery.
What was delivered
The migration programme included the Rancher-to-EKS transition and a parallel Jenkins modernisation. Key components included:
- migration of 40+ Jenkins instances and 800+ jobs
- internal CI tooling built on top of Jenkins using Python, Flask, Groovy and Bootstrap
- shared libraries to standardise pipeline behaviour
- Helm-based Kubernetes deployments and production support
- greenfield campaign platform delivery for more than 22 travel partners
Business impact
- 40% reduction in environment provisioning time
- 60% reduction in pipeline setup and configuration time
- 30% reduction in deployment errors
What another engineering team can reuse
This experience is relevant to SaaS teams managing a large Jenkins estate while moving workloads to EKS. It covers migration sequencing, shared pipeline design, release support and production operations.
