This article outlines our experience migrating workloads from an on-premises data center to the AWS Cloud, culminating in the decommissioning of our last server in December 2024. The migration focused on our Motion Data product, which leverages geo-information analytics from Deutsche Telekom's mobile network to provide anonymized mass movement insights for industries such as retail, tourism, and public transport. Our transition to AWS was driven by rising colocation costs and the need to modernize our infrastructure, which faced limitations due to outdated technology constraints, high maintenance efforts, and inefficient storage and compute resource management. We selected AWS's Replatforming approach to harness managed services, improve scalability, and replace legacy Hadoop infrastructure with a more flexible Spark-on-Kubernetes and S3-based solution. The migration delivered key benefits, including 35% lower infrastructure costs, access to up-to-date technology stacks, and removal of resource constraints for compute workloads. By leveraging AWS-managed services such as Kubernetes (EKS), EMR, and RDS, we optimized performance, simplified operations, and positioned ourselves for future growth and innovation in cloud-native environments.

In a multi-cloud setup, using Rancher to manage Kubernetes clusters requires adding NAT gateway IPs to the Rancher Load Balancer's Security Group. Due to Security Group limits of 1,000 IPs per ENI, employing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) is beneficial. WAF allows 100 IP sets with 10,000 IPs each, supporting up to 1 million IP addresses and providing enhanced logging and metrics.

Catena-X, das offene Datennetzwerk in der Automobilbranche, hat einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf dem jährlichen Mitgliedertreffen von CESMII im Jahr 2023 gemacht. In Zusammenarbeit mit CESMII präsentierte Catena-X seinen innovativen Ansatz für die intelligente Fertigung, der sich auf die Einhaltung von Vorschriften, datengesteuerte Super-Apps und dezentrale Technologie konzentriert. Der Dialog zwischen dem Catena-X-Verband und CESMII führte zu Gesprächen über die Erweiterung ihres Open-Source-Softwarekerns in den USA. Die gemeinsame Erkundung eines C-X Hub U.S. mit CESMII markierte einen erfolgreichen Schritt zur Beschleunigung der Aktivitäten von Catena-X in den USA, wie in ihren jüngsten Engagements und Präsentationen deutlich wird.

Entdecken Sie den International Manufacturing-X (IM-X) Council, der auf der Jahresmitgliederversammlung von CESMII 2023 vorgestellt wurde und ein globales kollaboratives Datennetzwerk für die intelligente Fertigung fördert. Die USA und Deutschland führen die Initiative an und stimmen digitale Zwillinge und Softwareanwendungen ab. Tauchen Sie ein in die Entstehung von Manufacturing-X, den IM-X-Workshop und Einblicke in gemeinsame Projekte wie Catena-X.

Die Internationale Automobil Ausstellung (IAA), auch bekannt als IAA Mobilität, kehrte 2023 nach München zurück und war damit zum zweiten Mal in der Stadt präsent. Diese Ausgabe der IAA unterstrich einen bedeutenden Paradigmenwechsel vom konventionellen Automobil hin zu einem umfassenden Angebot an Mobilitätslösungen. Diese multipolare Perspektive zog sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Veranstaltung.
