Actionable DevOps Assessment Developed for Transportation Data Company

Actionable DevOps Assessment Developed for Transportation Data Company

UDig’s DevOps assessment provided knowledge and best practices allowing the client to build a business case for investments in DevOps processes and tooling. By delivering on this assessment, the client has an actionable roadmap to reduce deployment times and increase capacity in their data center while improving quality in deployments and applications. UDig’s practical approach recommended taking an iterative approach, breaking down the implementation into smaller, but attainable and high impact changes.

How We Went from Ideas to Impact

  • The Idea

    Resolve manual releases resulting in quality issues and inability to recreate deployments.

  • The Process

    Determine opportunities for tools and methodologies to enable infrastructure and realize cost savings in automation and the cloud.

  • The Impact

    Tactical, actionable DevOps assessment and plan identifying inefficiencies, inconsistencies and constraints with recommendations for incremental improvements.

  • UDig’s practical approach recommended taking an iterative approach, breaking down the implementation into smaller, but attainable and high impact changes.

The Idea

A transportation data giant wanted to explore automation for deployments to increase quality and reduce manual intervention. The client experienced quality issues due to manual releases, had no way to recreate deployments and speed was limited due to manual constraints.

They turned to UDig to provide a DevOps assessment and action plan for how to better leverage DevOps in their organization. The organization was not seeking another software vendor, but a technology-agnostic approach providing honest, unbiased recommendations for tools and methodologies to enable infrastructure and realize the cost-saving benefits of automation and the cloud.

The Impact

After conducting a thorough audit of the organization’s existing processes, the UDig team found the legacy provisioning processes inhibiting the client with slow provisioning of environments, poor allocation of resources, environmental inconsistencies and inefficient utilization.

In addition, the organization’s dependence on physical equipment limited their overall capacity, preventing additional projects from completing that needed resources due to overprovisioning. As part of the DevOps assessment, the team recommended a multi-phased approach to provide incremental improvements with phased investment including containerization to improve utilization density and more efficient deployment, Terraform to provide visibility into all instances and a combination of public and private cloud instances with automatic scaling.
