Major Airline Slashes AWS Costs and Reduces Support Cases 10x
How we helped a major U.S. airline transform their fragmented Kubernetes infrastructure into a streamlined, cost-efficient platform.
Significant reduction in AWS infrastructure costs
Reduction in support tickets and operational overhead
Single platform for all container workloads
500+ Clusters Creating Operational Chaos
A major U.S. airline had accumulated over 500 OpenShift clusters across their AWS infrastructure. This sprawl was driving up costs exponentially and generating an unmanageable volume of support cases that overwhelmed their operations team.
Cluster Sprawl
Over 500 OpenShift clusters consuming excessive AWS resources with no centralized management or visibility
Support Overload
Unmanageable support case volume straining the operations team and slowing incident response times
Fragmented Infrastructure
Inconsistent configurations across hundreds of separate clusters creating security and compliance risks
Consolidated Multi-Tenant ROSA with Ansible Automation
Li9 designed and implemented a modern, consolidated architecture using Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) with Ansible Automation Platform for infrastructure as code.
ROSA Migration
Migrated from 500+ clusters to a handful of multi-tenant Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS clusters
Ansible Automation
Implemented Ansible Automation Platform for consistent, repeatable infrastructure deployment and management
Security & Compliance
Centralized security policies and compliance controls across all container workloads
Transformational Outcomes
The consolidation delivered dramatic improvements across all operational and financial metrics.
Key Takeaway
By consolidating 500+ fragmented OpenShift clusters into a streamlined ROSA architecture with Ansible automation, Li9 helped this major airline achieve dramatic cost savings while reducing their support burden by 10x.
