Breaking free from lock-in: How a leading insurance provider migrated 1,500 workloads to ROSA in 10 months

Imagine finding out your core platform contract is ending, leaving you with a multi million-dollar liability—and just 10 months to move 1,500 critical workloads. That was the reality for the engineering team at State Farm.While they had previously used Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) and VMware vSphere, the underlying platform was highly proprietary. To escape vendor lock-in and secure long-term cloud portability, State Farm executed an urgent, 10-month race to migrate 1,500 workloads to Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA), all without disrupting core business operations.
