The Challenge

Major media and entertainment company is on an amazing journey to move their infrastructure footprint into AWS cloud.

Customer's cloud operation team was eager to leverage Chef to introduce orchestration tools into their AWS environment. The intent was to move into a recipe driven approach for both application server builds and updates to insure consistency, as well as cross company operational configuration for running instances / VMs.

"The recipes requirements, creation and testing have been the key components of client's goal to run efficiently in the cloud."

The Benefits

The Benefits
Cloud operations team successfully reached their goal by reducing implementation and on-going management time by at least 50%. When a new server is provisioned, Chef agent is installed and corresponding runbook configures all necessary packages based on the server's role and permissions. All server updates and code modifications are performed via Chef without no direct manual interventions. Fun fact, the engagement was delivered ahead of schedule, so the rest of the time was spent to harden and automate security operations.

well done is better than well said.
