In 2025, Integral and the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) of Western Australia marked another milestone in a partnership built on innovation and trust. 

After years supporting the state’s digital identity and access management platform, Integral helped DPC take a major step forward, transitioning from a self-managed Red Hat SSO environment on OpenShift to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Auto Mode and Amazon Aurora.

The move was driven by the department’s need for cost efficiency, and tighter integration with AWS services. EKS Auto Mode delivered just that, automating infrastructure provisioning, dynamically scaling resources, and integrating seamlessly with Route 53, CloudFront, CloudWatch, Aurora Serverless, Secrets Manager, and Elastic Container Registry (ECR).

By shifting from MySQL to PostgreSQL and embracing serverless compute, the platform now runs leaner, faster, and more securely, reducing operational overhead while improving performance and resilience. Auto Mode takes care of both the control and data planes, managing updates and patches automatically to keep the system secure and always current.

To maintain the pace of open-source evolution, Integral implemented automated validation pipelines and weekly upgrade testing through GitHub Actions. This enables rapid iteration, confident deployment, and continuous improvement.

This project exemplifies Integral’s strength in modernising containerised environments and reinforces our commitment to delivering tailored, future-ready solutions that help governments operate smarter, faster and more securely.
