Project Overview

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.

Sustainability Focus

Technology aligned with Future Super’s mission – ethical investing powered by eco-friendly infrastructure.

AWS Migration

A complete re-platforming to AWS, replacing complex Kubernetes management with streamlined services that improved scalability and resilience.

Performance Gains

Significant improvements in system reliability, faster batch processing, and reduced operational costs.

The Challenge

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:

Environment Limitations

Lack of dedicated development environments restricted productivity and slowed down delivery.

Rising Operational Costs

Inefficient infrastructure drove up costs and increased environmental impact, conflicting with Future Super’s climate-conscious ethos.

Complex Kubernetes Management

The steep learning curve and constant operational overhead of patches, updates, and teaching internal teams became unsustainable.
