Future Super, Australia’s first climate-conscious super fund, needed to modernise its infrastructure to support rapid growth while staying true to its sustainability mission. Fitzroy IT led a full migration from GCP Kubernetes to AWS, delivering a scalable, resilient, and environmentally efficient platform.
Technology aligned with Future Super’s mission – ethical investing powered by eco-friendly infrastructure.
A complete re-platforming to AWS, replacing complex Kubernetes management with streamlined services that improved scalability and resilience.
Significant improvements in system reliability, faster batch processing, and reduced operational costs.
Future Super needed to modernise its legacy infrastructure while keeping pace with growth and upholding sustainability values.
Future Super’s previous on-premises and Kubernetes setup created multiple hurdles:
Lack of dedicated development environments restricted productivity and slowed down delivery.
Inefficient infrastructure drove up costs and increased environmental impact, conflicting with Future Super’s climate-conscious ethos.
The steep learning curve and constant operational overhead of patches, updates, and teaching internal teams became unsustainable.
Fitzroy IT delivered a tailored AWS re-platforming strategy centred on scalability, automation, and sustainability.
Shifted from Kubernetes to AWS ECS and cloud-native services, streamlining operations while improving scalability and energy efficiency.
Introduced Infrastructure as Code for repeatable, reliable deployments across multiple environments.
Implemented AWS services to strengthen compliance with strict financial regulations, alongside end-to-end encryption and monitoring.
We leveraged AWS cloud services and modern tooling to build a high-performance, scalable, and secure infrastructure.
EC2, RDS, ECR, ECS, EFS, S3, CloudFront, Transit Gateway, and Control Tower for scalable infrastructure and automation.
AWS Lambda, API Gateway, CloudWatch, AWS Config, MemoryDB for Redis, and AWS Transfer Family to enable integrations and monitoring.
CloudFormation templates standardised deployments and eliminated manual setup.
Route 53 resolvers, IAM, AWS Inspector, and compliance frameworks ensured resilience, monitoring, and regulatory alignment.
The migration to AWS delivered measurable improvements across performance, sustainability, and scalability.
Processing time reduced from 4 hours to 1 hour.
Fully automated and reproducible infrastructure setup.
Development, Staging, QA, and Production environments deployed consistently.
Right-sized infrastructure reduced carbon footprint and operational waste.
"The Fitzroy IT team have surpassed our expectations. They have a wide range of expertise on hand and we have been impressed with their responsiveness in resolving issues and responding to queries. We are continuing to work in a hybrid model with Fitzroy IT supporting our internal DevOps team."
