In this success story, we helped our client with DevOps consulting & transformation solutions. Our DevOps experts assessed and transformed the manual Kubernetes application deployment model of the client to an automated workflow.
The best part is that we remediated their DevOps pipeline from square one without any break in their business continuity.
Get to know the client & their business challenges
Our client helps their customers in financial planning and advisory. They have developed a signature micro-service application to render consulting services to their customers.
The client has planned for frequent patches, upgrades, implementation of new features, and deployment in their application. They had multi-stage environments for their application. (Development, Testing, Live)
The manual deployment process was redundant and time-consuming with continuous releases. In addition, the client was concerned about their security practices as they were dealing with third-party financial data sets.
They were in search of DevOps experts to build an automated deployment pipeline with best security practices for their signature micro-service application.

Our solution to the client with the DevOps Transformation service!
AVASOFT team dived in to analyze and automate the client’s signature application that is deployed in the Tanzu managed Kubernetes environment.
- Our team kick-started with a detailed assessment of the application infrastructure and their release management.
- We suggested the best practice recommendations of feature branching strategy to streamline their version controlling. We dived in to developing a unique repository for the client in Git-Bitbucket as per their business needs.
- Successively, we have integrated Git-Bitbucket with the Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to build an automated release management workflow.
- On successful completion of test coverages in the CI/CD pipeline, the artifacts are bundled by Pro get and notified to Octopus Deploy for further processing.
- Our team has customized the artifacts release management with an approval-based deployment pipeline to the live environment to avoid critical downtime.
- If the release management team approves the artifact, Octopus Deploy pushes the patches to the Tanzu managed multi-clustered Kubernetes application.
- Right from streamlining the repository to automating release management, we eased the complete deployment model of the client.
- The application infrastructure was remediated with the focus on the cloud-native and security-inclined thought process. These best practices enhanced scalability, cost-efficiency, and role-based access control.
Business gains for the client
- Our client experienced an 80% reduction in deployment efforts. They could easily push the releases in higher environments by approving the artifacts in Octopus Deploy.
- The development teams could focus on enhancements, patches & upgrades rather than spinning around deployment complexity.
- With our best practice recommendations, they could easily bridge the gaps in their micro-service application and make it scalable.
- They had no more hassles of manual deployment in each environment.
Value Add-On
In addition to automated release management, we enabled the blue-green deployment model for the client’s micro-service application. This feature ensured complete business continuity & enhanced user experience.
