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

Managing distributed on-premises infrastructure across hundreds of sites creates inconsistency, manual lifecycle bottlenecks, fragmented visibility, and scalability problems, especially when hardware, operating system, Kubernetes, and application operations span thousands of servers. The proposed design centralizes orchestration in AWS while keeping execution on site, using hybrid connectivity, AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, Amazon EventBridge, DynamoDB, AWS Systems Manager, and supporting services. Redfish APIs provide vendor-agnostic bare-metal control for BIOS, firmware, power, and health operations, while EKS Anywhere deploys and operates management and workload clusters on local hardware; orders and inventory records track workflows and resource relationships. DynamoDB Streams also automate DNS, certificates, AWS access, and storage integrations, while centralized observability aggregates server, cluster, and application signals; the post presents architectural patterns and defers detailed implementation workflows and templates to later parts.
