Migrate Stateful Workloads to StatefulSets with Storage Class Tuning
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Design a StatefulSet for Redis on EKS with tuned gp3 storage, snapshot 120GB data, and validate DR under 30 min RTO — get a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The FinTech (regulated under MAS, on a Q3 deadline to retire bare EC2 in favor of EKS) needs every stateful service migrated with a tested DR story before the next pen-test.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Migrate a Redis Sentinel cluster from bare EC2 to EKS StatefulSets with tuned storage classes and a tested DR story, then produce the playbook for PostgreSQL + Elasticsearch.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design StatefulSets with PVCs, PDBs, and the right storage class
- Tune EBS gp3 IOPS + throughput per workload
- Plan a cutover with snapshot-based data migration
- Define and validate a DR policy end-to-end
