Zero-downtime server migration

A full Ubuntu move, with automation, monitoring and supervision intact, and not a minute offline.

Automation deployments, monitoring and process supervision migrated with no tolerance for downtime. The client kept us on a long-term retainer.

The problem

A full Ubuntu server migration, including automation deployments, monitoring and process supervision, with no tolerance for downtime.

What we built

We moved automation deployments, monitoring and process supervision to the new server without taking anything offline, and documented the whole setup on the way.

How it works

  1. No downtime

    Services stayed up for the entire migration.

  2. Fully monitored

    Monitoring and process supervision in place on the new server.

  3. Documented

    The setup written down, so it never depends on one person’s memory.

“Handled our entire Ubuntu server migration including automation deployments with zero downtime. This is a team that knows servers, not just code. Monitoring, scheduling, process supervision: all sorted in a single engagement.”
Raj P., Infrastructure Lead, United Kingdom
