Today, we want to tell you how Marek regained control.
Marek, head of IT at a large company, was fed up with manual application deployment. Each new launch meant an avalanche of tickets, manual configuration of VMs, Kubernetes, IPs, load balancers… and finally still opening network traffic. Deployment time? Days, and often weeks.
Problems:
➡ Long wait times and multi-step approvals
➡ Errors due to manual operations
➡ Lack of standardisation
➡ Overloaded IT team
The solution? Automation.
Marek implemented application and infrastructure standards, automated appointment and approval processes, and launched a self-service portal. As of now:
➡ Applications are available in a several minutes
➡ Processes are repeatable and compliant with standards
➡ IT team focuses on strategic activities
Automated has been, among other things:
➡ VM/K8s creation and configuration
➡ Assignment of IPs, subnets, LBs
➡ Acceptance process, monitoring and auto-scaling
➡ Integration with CMDB and data updating
The result
➡ Faster deployments
➡ Fewer errors
➡ More time for the IT team
➡ Better quality and control
The effect
Marek has achieved all this with a private cloud based on VMware Cloud Foundation, enhanced with our add-ons and the team’s experience, coming soon in version 🔗 9 (VCF 9)
Don’t waste your time manually deploying applications. Be like Marek.
