A leading Australian Telco was running over 90% of their applications across thousands of on premise virtual machines. To ensure future business needs were met and to deliver additional capability, flexibility and scalability to support the business a majority of these workloads were flagged to move to a hyperscale public cloud provider.
As a fast moving business in the competitive world of telecommunications in Australia, the team faced resource constraints while managing a complex estate of new and legacy environments from a history of acquisitions. The focus was to increase the resilience, reliability and recoverability of their IT infrastructure and while upskilling and introducing best practices within their internal team of SMEs. With multiple competing priorities in a fast moving environment it was identified that a partnership was required with a provider who could document current state, define future state aligned to best practice and enable their team to deliver on the transition roadmap aligned to their priorities.
Before committing production workloads to a new cloud environment, DevOps1 were engaged to ensure there was a 'single source of truth' to manage, scale, comply and secure public and private cloud infrastructure. The starting point for DevOps1 was to build a 'Secure Platform Lifecycle Management' program utilising an infrastructure as code platform.
This enabled the organisation to introduce policy as code, cost controls, drift detection, ensure version control and provide foundation for the ongoing automation of cloud infrastructure via a centralised secure private registry.
This has ensured that ongoing deployments to public cloud are compliant, secure, scalable and automated to ensure that ongoing deployments of new Landing Zones can be deployed knowing they will continue to adhere to best practice.
