Global deployment of applications following DevSecOps practices
Overview.
The clients, an international airline conglomerate wished to build a single solution for customer self-services kiosks used in departure and connections area for multiple airlines. The clients wished to have global deployment of the new application. To enable such large-scale deployment, the clients wanted to collaborate with someone with expertise in working on large projects and huge clients and for the same, they entrusted Coforge Limited with the responsibility.
As customers sought to innovate and grow faster, they found them-self-limited by their existing technology environment. Customer was running its monolithic application workload in its datacenter, but the technology that datacenter used was holding them back. It didn’t offer them the innovative features they needed.
With such a large scale, it typically took the developers 10-15 days to stand up development environments for testing new features. It was too costly and not fast enough. Even small-scale experiments took time in several days. They also wanted to streamline development processes to support its new continuous integration and delivery focus following DevSecOps methodology.
Solution.
Proposed Solution was to re-architect the existing solution to micro-services-based stack that could be deployed on AWS ECS based infrastructure. Coforge followed a structured approach and the latest framework to build the new application. We used our expertise of AWS, microservices, agile and DevSecOps to factor the application into microservices. Coforge decided to containerize the applications, build an agile DevSecOps pipeline to track application modernization and brought in a blue-green strategy to manage and automate container deployment.
The overall above architecture kiosk brings operational efficiencies. Coforge has also used AWS CI/CD to automate the application’s release and reduced the overall time in releasing the new application. Coforge applied AWS Code Commit as code repository and AWS Code Pipeline, Code Build and Code Deploy along with Amazon ECR to automate build generation and code deployment.
The impact.
Productivity : Up to 95% improvement in productivity due to saving of effort of in environment provisioning and manual coordination to obtain approvals etc. Appreciation from frequent flyers and business flyers who travel with little luggage
Cycle time : 2-3 days (Up to 80%) reduction in cycle time as the Environment provisioning time is reduced by 85% due to automation.
Time Reduction : Reduction in airport operation cost by adopting microservices pattern and AWS cloud platform
