Case Study: Fortune 500 electrical and data‑networking distributor achieves automated AKS deployments, 40% fewer idle resources and operational transparency with Altoros

Gaining Transparency and Automation Across a Kubernetes Deployment

Altoros was engaged by a Fortune 500 distributor of electrical, communication, and data‑networking products (serving 100,000+ daily users across 280 locations) that struggled with manual deployments, wasted spend from overprovisioned clusters, lack of transparency into usage and performance, and insecure secret management. The customer sought to migrate to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and improve automation, autoscaling, observability, and security, and turned to Altoros to plan and execute the transition.

Altoros assessed the existing architecture, implemented AKS with GitOps, CI/CD pipelines and Horizontal Pod Autoscalers, introduced Azure Monitor dashboards and secure secret handling (e.g., Key Vault), and provided training and ongoing support. As a result, deployments were automated (freeing hundreds of engineering hours monthly), idle resources fell by 40% (saving thousands of dollars per month), migration proceeded with zero downtime for the initial microservices, and the customer gained improved visibility and security under Altoros’ ongoing support.
