Migration of an Orange Application to Google Cloud Platform

Orange needed to migrate part of its system to Google Cloud Platform, starting with a seller competition application.

The key challenge was migrating an application based on a Spring backend and React frontend from virtual machines to Kubernetes.

The project also required preparing cloud infrastructure in an Infrastructure as Code model and creating a pipeline automating the build and deployment of new application versions after code changes.

Edge One Solutions supported Orange by providing IT specialists responsible for application migration and infrastructure preparation in Google Cloud Platform.

The scope of support included moving the backend and frontend from virtual machines to Kubernetes and using managed Google Cloud services such as Kubernetes Engine, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Load Balancing.

The team also supported infrastructure as code preparation and created a CI/CD flow automating testing, building, and deployment of application updates.

As part of the project, the seller competition application was migrated to Google Cloud Platform.

The Spring-based backend and React-based frontend were moved from virtual machines to Kubernetes, enabling better use of a scalable cloud environment.

The infrastructure was prepared in an Infrastructure as Code model, while the CI/CD pipeline enabled automated testing, building, and deployment of subsequent application versions after code changes.

In the telecommunications sector, applications supporting business processes must be stable, scalable, and ready for frequent changes driven by organizational needs.

The Orange project shows how cloud migration, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD can support application modernization and improve the deployment of subsequent system versions.

For large organizations, a similar approach can reduce dependency on virtual machine-based infrastructure, increase environment flexibility, and accelerate business application delivery.
