Breaking Free From Lock-In: How a Leading Insurance Provider Migrated 1,500 Workloads to ROSA in 10 Months
Red Hat, Friday, August 14th, 2026
State Farm migrated 1,500 workloads from Pivotal Cloud Foundry to Red Hat OpenShift on AWS in 10 months.
Red Hat published a customer story on State Farm, whose engineering team faced an ending core platform contract, a multi-million-dollar liability and just 10 months to move 1,500 critical workloads.
The team had previously used Pivotal Cloud Foundry and VMware vSphere, but the underlying platform was highly proprietary.
To escape vendor lock-in and secure long-term cloud portability, State Farm executed an urgent 10-month migration to Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS.
The move was completed without disrupting core business operations. The story covers how the team sequenced the migration under deadline pressure.
