Azure Tenant Migration for Daimler Trucks AG

Impact Stories Azure Tenant Migration for Daimler Trucks AG Streamlining Infrastructure and Application Migration Company Name Daimler Trucks Industry Automotive Location Germany Impact Seamless Tenant Migration Application Azure Background Following the separation of Daimler AG into Mercedes Benz and Daimler Truck entities, Daimler Truck required its own infrastructure and systems and needed to migrate its systems and applications from Mercedes Benz’s (MB) Azure tenant to its own Azure tenant. Challenges Faced Identification of Interactions The application interacts with various sources, including backend and frontend components. Unfortunately, these interactions were not adequately documented, necessitating a review of the application configuration to identify them accurately. Techno-Functional Documentation Techno-functional documentation was not readily available, requiring a deeper dive into the code level to define various integrations accurately. Subsequently, the documentation was updated to reflect these integrations, with any information gaps being documented separately for clarity. Azure Infrastructure Versioning The versions of Azure utilized were not up to date, posing potential issues as the current infrastructure was nearing the end of support. To mitigate this risk, collaboration with Azure support was initiated to resolve version conflicts and ensure the infrastructure’s stability and security. The Solution Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform Deployed infrastructure using Terraform, with all code stored in a central GitHub repository, enhancing traceability and resilience. Resource Extraction We generated a comprehensive list of all resources currently deployed in Azure for each subscription, ensuring that no resources are overlooked during the migration process and helping in creating an accurate inventory for subsequent steps. Identify Dependencies Between Resources to Determine Deployment Order Analyzed the exported configurations to identify each and every dependency between resources. Configuration for Specific Subscription Using Terraform Develop Terraform modules for each resource type. These modules serve as reusable templates that define the necessary infrastructure components and their configurations, facilitating consistent and repeatable deployments. Automated CI/CD Pipelines Set up pipelines to automate the deployment of Terraform configurations, ensuring controlled and auditable changes. These pipelines streamlined the deployment process, enforced version control, and ensured that all changes go through a controlled and auditable process.
