Many communications service providers around the world are finding it increasingly challenging to meet customer demands in the context of ongoing Digital Transformation across industries and more recently , disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic . Türk Telekom wanted to apply cutting-edge application technologies and methods in order to deliver services more dynamically .
With this collaboration , Red Hat supported Türk Telekom with optimising its microservices architecture and consolidating services and data management and analysis . It standardised on Red Hat OpenShift as the foundational horizontal application platform for greater ease of deployment and scaling . Red Hat Consulting and Red Hat Training provided upskilling programs to help Türk Telekom to get the best value from its cloud-native technologies and to be more agile using microservices and CI / CD . Türk Telekom also leaned on the expertise of Red Hat services to help define a security architecture that takes advantage of OpenShift ’ s native features including network and container isolation and application data access protection .
Türk Telekom ’ s strategy targets 30 key applications for migration to OpenShift . A total of 10 applications are live today on the platform , providing an enhanced experience for customers . For example , the performance of game distribution platform Playstore . com has increased by up to 30 % since its migration to OpenShift . Red Hat consultants continue to collaborate with Türk Telekom to shift workloads successfully , including one migration that completed three weeks ahead of schedule .

Using Red Hat OpenShift ’ s self-service capabilities Türk Telekom can deploy applications in as little as 90 seconds compared to taking days previously , with automation helping remove manual processes so developers can be more productive . More agile life cycle management as well as autoscaling enables the business to bring new capabilities and updates to market as they are ready and manage workloads dynamically , instead of limiting production pushes to specific days . Additionally , Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is enabling virtual machine workloads to be run and managed alongside container workloads . OpenShift holistically helps improve cost effectiveness and efficiency for the business .
Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation provides Türk Telekom with the capability to manage storage centrally . For more agile integration with internal and partner applications as part of its microservices infrastructure , Türk Telekom is also in the process of implementing Red Hat 3scale API Management and Red Hat AMQ messaging platform . It is also planning on bringing in Red Hat OpenStack Platform as a foundation for its private cloud .
