With Azure DevOps and cloud power the Wheels of innovation in Movement set.
For ours Customers, one leading Car manufacturer, provided the existing On-premiseInfrastructure a real Obstacle for Agility and innovation represent. The complex ITSystems in the Microsoft Azure cloud to migrate and at the same time the CI/CD pipelines from Jenkins to Azure DevOps convert, resulted in itself as one double The challenge . In addition came strict Compliance and Safety requirementswhich while the entire Migration and in the later CloudOperation fulfilled become had toin order to high Standards of the Automotive industry fair to become.
The migration of the existing on-premise infrastructure posed a major challenge, as the car manufacturer's IT landscape was highly individualized and included numerous legacy-based applications. These systems had to be migrated under the highest security standards and without interrupting operations. The migration involved monolithic and inflexible applications that could not easily be transferred to the cloud in their existing form. This complexity required careful planning and execution to minimize downtime while guaranteeing system availability.
Another critical point was the conversion of the Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines to a flexible, scalable system that could meet the company's growing requirements. The existing Jenkins pipelines could no longer meet the requirements for speed and flexibility, which severely limited the efficiency of the development and deployment process. In addition, the strict compliance and data protection requirements of the automotive industry had to be observed during the migration. It was essential to ensure that all cloud-based systems complied with industry-specific security and data protection standards.
Jenkins was yesterday - Azure DevOps is today
We migrated the car manufacturer's IT infrastructure securely and scalably to Microsoft Azure to improve flexibility and agility. Using Azure Site Recovery and virtual machines, we ensured a fast migration with minimal downtime. This transition enabled the client to efficiently adapt its IT systems to changing market conditions.
The existing Jenkins pipelines were converted to Azure DevOps, which led to a significant increase in the speed and reliability of software deployment. This enabled the car manufacturer to optimize its development processes and react more quickly to changes.
To ensure compliance and security, we used Azure Security Center and Azure Policy. These solutions ensured compliance with industry-specific regulations and enabled continuous security monitoring.
We can tell you a lot, so let's just take a look at the speedometer:
shorter Time for testing and Provide from Applications.
lower Error rate with the Software provision thanks to more automated Pipelines.
increased Team productivity through simplified and standardized Processes.
less Troubleshooting effort through the Introduction one standardized CloudSurroundings.
Improvement the System availability through the Use from Azure-supported High availability solutions.
As you can see, migrating an existing infrastructure to the cloud and optimizing CI/CD processes doesn't have to be a Mount Everest. Based on the challenges that our customers have overcome together with us so far, here are a few inspirations on how you could apply our knowledge to your specific challenges - and we are of course always available to discuss a customized approach with you:
Fintech - Cloud migration and CI/CD optimization
In the financial industry, organizations often face the challenge of securely and efficiently migrating legacy infrastructures and monolithic applications that handle sensitive financial data. To overcome this challenge, we would start with a comprehensive analysis of existing systems to determine security and compliance requirements. Our solution would be to migrate to a scalable cloud infrastructure, supported by modern CI/CD tools that make the software deployment process faster and more flexible. We would also ensure that all security and compliance requirements are met through specialized management tools. This would not only significantly reduce operating costs and downtime, but also optimize time-to-market for new financial products and increase customer confidence and satisfaction.
Healthcare - Secure and scalable data management
Healthcare providers are often faced with the challenge of managing sensitive patient data and health information both securely and efficiently. To address this challenge, we would take the cloud migration route, relying on highly secure and scalable data solutions designed specifically for the needs of the healthcare industry. We would ensure that all data protection and compliance requirements are met, while also creating the ability to deliver software updates quickly and efficiently. By using modern CI/CD processes, we could ensure that the provider can always work with the latest technologies and security specifications. The result would be improved patient data management, increased data availability and a noticeable reduction in operational overheads, leaving more resources available for innovation in patient care.
Retail - improving e-commerce and the customer experience
A common problem in retail is the scalability of IT infrastructure to cope with seasonal traffic peaks. If this doesn't work optimally, it results in downtime and a poor customer experience. We would solve this problem by migrating to an elastic cloud infrastructure that is able to dynamically adjust the required resources during periods of high demand. Additionally, by using modern CI/CD tools, we would ensure that new features and updates to the e-commerce platform could be deployed quickly and reliably. This would not only improve the customer experience, but also increase the efficiency of operations. The result would be a seamless, scalable shopping experience, less downtime and greater competitiveness through the rapid implementation of new features that would increase sales and customer satisfaction.
A look behind the Backdrops - Tools that with migration one decisive Role played:
Microsoft Azure made it possible to provide a scalable, flexible and secure infrastructure that ensured the smooth operation of the application in the cloud and adapted dynamically to customer needs.
Containerization and orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes facilitated the fast and efficient deployment and scaling of applications, which led to a significant reduction in operating costs and downtime.
Switching to Azure DevOps for continuous integration and delivery significantly accelerated software development and deployment, resulting in faster time-to-market for new features.
Azure Monitor and Azure Log Analytics ensured that system performance and security measures were continuously monitored and optimized so that problems could be detected and rectified at an early stage.
With the help of Azure Security Center and Azure Policy, the strict compliance requirements were easily met and the security of the infrastructure was ensured at all times.
Azure SQL Database and Azure Cosmos DB provided secure and scalable data management, enabling large volumes of data to be stored and processed efficiently.
The use of C#, .NET, Java, Python, JavaScript and ASP.NET Core enabled us to develop flexible and performant applications that were both fast and easy to maintain.
With Microsoft Teams and Azure documentation, team collaboration was optimized, resulting in efficient communication and well-structured project development.
