Hybrid cloud orchestration: Modernizing on-premises infrastructure management with AWS

This article demonstrates how to build a hybrid cloud orchestration solution that manages distributed on-premises infrastructure at scale using AWS serverless technologies and EKS Anywhere.

• Event-driven orchestration engine using Lambda, Step Functions, and DynamoDB for centralized control with distributed execution
• Vendor-agnostic hardware management through Redfish APIs for BIOS, firmware, power, and health operations
• EKS Anywhere cluster lifecycle automation including creation, scaling, upgrades, and termination across multiple sites
• Inventory Management System tracks infrastructure resources, relationships, and operational history across hundreds of sites
• Order management system coordinates operations asynchronously with callback patterns for long-running tasks
• Centralized observability using ADOT, Prometheus, and Grafana for monitoring across distributed environments
• Hybrid integration patterns for DNS, certificates, AWS API access, and persistent storage across cloud and on-premises

The solution enables enterprise-scale infrastructure management with operational consistency, scalability, and centralized visibility across geographically dispersed data centers.
