Turning a Developed System into a Cloud-Ready Government Platform

Building a software platform is only the beginning. The real challenge comes when that system needs a reliable environment where it can be deployed, managed, and prepared for real-world use

COKREATES developed the Government Resource Planning (GRP) platform to support government operational requirements. Our team worked with Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) to bring this complex application into a private cloud environment, preparing the infrastructure and deployment process needed to run the platform effectively

The journey started with deploying the GRP platform on an OpenStack Private Cloud environment at NDC and later supporting its transition toward the NDC e-Gov Cloud platform. The project involved deploying 10 GRP modules while establishing automation practices across 6 platforms.

Beyond deployment, the team focused on creating a smoother cloud delivery process by introducing automated redeployment workflows and operational practices that reduced manual effort and improved consistency for future application deployments.

The Challenges

Moving a developed application into a cloud environment requires much more than simply installing software. The GRP platform needed a properly prepared infrastructure where its different components could run smoothly, communicate effectively, and support different stages of deployment. The challenge was creating an environment that could bring together application requirements, infrastructure capabilities, and operational needs.

The team needed to prepare multiple environments, including production, UAT, staging, SQTC, and training, while ensuring each environment had the right configuration and resources. This required a clear understanding of application dependencies, infrastructure requirements, and deployment processes to maintain consistency across different stages.

As the number of deployments increased, managing everything manually became more challenging. The team needed a structured approach that could reduce repetitive work, improve deployment consistency, and make future changes easier to implement. Establishing automation and repeatable processes became an important part of creating a smoother cloud deployment journey.

How the Our Team Handled It

Building the Private Cloud with OpenStack

The journey started by establishing the OpenStack Private Cloud environment.. Our team designed the deployment architecture with high availability in mind and configured the required cloud resources, services, and infrastructure components to create a reliable foundation for hosting the GRP platform.

Cloud Deployment Journey: From Development to Production

The team followed a structured deployment approach, moving the GRP platform through Development, SQTC, UAT, Staging, Rollout, Production, and Training environments. Each stage allowed the team to validate functionality, resolve issues, and ensure the application was properly prepared before moving toward the next phase.

Through application deployment, environment configuration, service validation, troubleshooting, and operational support, the team created a controlled pathway for bringing the GRP platform from initial setup to production readiness.

OpenStack Private Cloud to NDC e-Gov Cloud Migration

After establishing the GRP platform within the OpenStack Private Cloud environment, our team supported the migration journey toward the NDC e-Gov Cloud platform. The transition required careful planning, infrastructure preparation, configuration management, and validation to ensure application components were properly aligned with the new cloud environment.

The team handled migration support activities including infrastructure provisioning, backup management, security enforcement, monitoring, and operational validation to create a smoother transition between cloud platforms.

The Outcome

Production-Ready OpenStack Cloud

Architected and deployed a high-availability Private Cloud , provisioning isolated, scalable environments across Production, UAT, Staging, SQTC, and Training.

100% Automated Infrastructure Delivery

Automated full-stack application deployment and environment configuration using custom Ansible playbooks, eliminating manual provisioning errors and accelerating setup times.

High-Availability Cloud Migration

Successfully migrated the national Government Resource Planning (GRP) platform onto NDC Cloud infrastructure with high-availability service design and automated failover.

Multi-Thousand TPS Performance

Every cloud transformation begins with learning how applications, infrastructure, and operations work together.

This project represented an important step in deploying government applications on private cloud infrastructure. By combining cloud engineering, automation, and operational support, the team helped create a practical pathway for future digital service deployments.

The biggest achievement was not only deploying a system.

It was building the knowledge, processes, and confidence required to move complex applications toward a cloud-driven future.
