Transformative DevOps solution for a Digital signage firm
Challenge
The client was functioning using a complicated network of servers, databases, and networking components, and manual configuration updates took up a significant amount of their IT team's time. A need for IaC (Infrastructure as a Code) implementation was identified.
The client was functioning using a complicated network of servers, databases, and networking components, and manual configuration updates took up a significant amount of their IT team's time. A need for IaC (Infrastructure as a Code) implementation was identified.
Solution
The client was currently using AWS and wanted to move to Azure. After a thorough as-is analysis, it was discovered that a robust IaC (Infrastructure as Code) needs to be implemented. The solution involved defining and controlling infrastructure configurations using code for automated provisioning, configuration, and scalability of infrastructure resources. Terraform was selected as a tool because of multi-cloud support. CI/CD pipelines were integrated into the IaC, allowing automated changes in the infrastructure. Load balancers were implemented to manage workload of infrastructure.

Results
The client enjoyed automation and a high level of efficiency with the elimination of any human error with no need for manual configuration. The firm could quickly scale its infrastructure up and down in response to varying workloads. IaC's ability to supply and deprovision resources on demand resulted in significant cost savings. Unused capabilities were automatically terminated to avoid unnecessary expenses.
