Elastic Cloud Migration for a Century-Old Poultry Processor in the USA
Client
The client is a 100+ year old, family-owned poultry processing company based in the USA. They specialize in high-quality cooked and raw chicken products for the foodservice, retail, and industrial sectors, with a reputation for operational excellence.
Project Context
The client was operating an on-prem Elasticsearch deployment and wanted to migrate approximately 30TB of data to Elastic Cloud. They needed to set up a cloud-native ingestion strategy, preserve historical data, and transition to using fleet agents for management.
Project Objectives
- Cloud readiness assessment and deployment sizing
- Migrate 30TB+ of historical data
- Migrate existing ingestion pipelines, dashboards, and policies
- Integrate with Azure AD for secure SSO
Challenges
- Data sensitivity and scale (~30TB)
- Real-time ingestion pipeline cutover
- Managing SSO and post-migration observability setup
Solution
- Deployed a new Elastic Cloud environment with optimal sizing
- Used snapshot-restore from GCS for legacy data
- Migrated all custom dashboards, ILM and agent policies
- Configured Azure AD integration for SSO
