DEVOPS FOR GLOBAL REIT CLIENT

CI-CD & DevOps Modernization Enables Client to Automate Deployments, Saves 25% of Developers’ Time, Cuts Defects by 30%

This Real Estate Investment Trust client realized a quick win for itself with our Azure-based implementation enabling better CI-CD pipeline management. The client is now driving faster software releases with much-improved quality assurance and workflows.

THE CLIENT

Our client is a real estate investment trust (REIT) focusing its investments in data centers. It is carrier-neutral, offering various services to over 225 operating data center facilities worldwide.
Their primary focus is on serving cloud and information technology services, communications, social networking, financial services, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and consumer products companies.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

The client deploys large-scale web applications that are widely used and require frequent updates due to their customers’ growing business needs.
The internal team was having difficulty implementing effective automated quality gates for the Continuous Integration portion of their CI-CD pipeline (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery).
They were looking for Azure expertise to help implement their entire Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) process. They stipulated no manual intervention and auto-rollbacks in the event of deployment failures with Azure services.

RECODE’S SOLUTION

Recode Solutions supports clients with their DevOps business and technology transformations.
For this client, the Recode team designed and implemented a reusable solution for moving the legacy deployment process into a modernised CI/CD pipeline using Azure technologies. Our comprehensive solution included:
  • Learn customer applications and their development/release model.
  • Perform software composition analysis on legacy code to identify the potential security risks.
  • Determine the potential for applications to be transitioned to DevOps.
  • Test the waters with prototype transition for a project followed by the entire ecosystem.
  • Assist the IT organization in the creation of CI/CD branching to improve the overall CI/CD pipeline for speed and efficiency.
  • Create separate Azure Code Pipelines for automated deployments to support the client’s DEV, SIT, and PRD environments.
  • Configure WebHooks for each pipeline so that they are triggered with each commit.
  • Add triggers, tags, and notifications to the Build and Release pipelines to alert the team to errors and incidents. Also, configured rollbacks to deploy the previous stable version, if a deployment failed.
  • Migrate all applications from the APAC region to Azure DevOps and set up Build and Release pipelines for the migrated apps. (Each pipeline is stored as code on GitHub.)
  • Develop application-level dashboards to provide visibility into individual work items, builds, and releases.
  • Script the entire CI/CD process into a parameterized template, allowing recreation of the entire process, as well as to perform Integrated Unit and Smoke tests within the pipelines
  • Use Azure DDoS Protection Standard and Azure Web Application Firewall on Azure Application Gateway to protect our business-critical workloads and data streams across our environment.
  • Create and use end-to-end automated testing scripts for functional, performance, and load testing.

BUSINESS OUTCOMES

Our client experienced significant success after migrating to Azure DevOps.
  • Dramatically improved the IT organization’s software delivery practices by implementing Continuous Delivery that not only enabled faster releases, but improved software quality and streamlined engineering workflows.
  • 25% of their developers’ time is now spent on coding rather than manual deployments and bug fixes.
  • 30% fewer functional defects and 50% increased test coverage.
  • Our intervention introducing parameterized templates streamlined the development and deployment processes, allowing for a faster go-to-market feature.
  • By enabling Blue/Green deployments, their application release model can now target disruption-less transitions.
  • Increased DevOps efficiency through automated build/deployment and testing.
  • Built-in code scanners reduced our chances of being hacked.
By improving the client’s monitoring capabilities, we have enabled timely reporting that are driving actionable insights and personalization.
