Success Stories
Delivered by: SORINTians
A Well-known Corporate and Investment Bank
Initiate a DevOps Practice
1) Challenge
Used by core banking offices.
Client’s requirement included:
- Adapt a DevOps practice.
- Accelerate software development & delivery.
- Guarantee a robust software.
2) Goind forward
Intensive requirement gather sessions, software assessment
and product selection.
3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
Proposed a tailor-made CI/CD solution. That included:
In a proposal form, an architected CI/CD solution from scratch.
- Customized SWLC with heavy automation tools. Automate new project onboarding, QA onboarding, fully code QA and simplify deployment on OKD/VMs.
- Openshift Origin as container platform.
- Centralized login process on EFK with customized “Fluentd” configuration as a new logging system.
- Pipeline to supported (Java, Python, TS, C/C++)
Result & delivery (UTD)
- Delivered in several phases. Main phase in 3-4 month.
+544 projects managed by centralized & extensible CI/CD pipelines. - Introduction to GitOps principles.
- Versioning deployment code.
- Code review for deployment changes.
- Supported the development team to integrate legacy/new software in CI/CD solution.
- Started managing SWLC and QA. (Assigned at later stages)
- Introduced an automated QA badge (by third party)
Well know Italian Retail – Store Chain
Enhance the CI/CD Practice
1) Challenge
Issues in DevOps practices.
Client’s requirement included:
- Fix legacy CI/CD pipeline.
- Overhaul and refactor CI/CD processes.
- Implement a maintainable workflow. In terms of tech and culture.
2) Goind forward
Intensive requirement gather sessions, software assessment
and product selection.
3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
In a proposal form. A re-architected CI/CD solution. That included:
- Introduce several new software and use already effectively installed.
- Introduce GitOps principles:
- Separate build code from deployment code.
- IReplace imperative pipeline with declarative one.
- Versioning deployment code.
- Code review for deployment changes.
- Influence client’s team and create a dynamic workflow.
Result & delivery (UTD)
- Delivered in several phases. Main phase in 1-2 month.
- Solution was executed 100% effectively.
- Implemented generic Jenkins CI pipeline to build and publish application containers.
- Declarative management of Jenkins Jobs (both CI and CD).
- Drastic changes in culture approach. Lead to a positive workflow.
- Documentation, required alignments.
- Took the learnings and closed the challenge.
Research and Intelligence Services
Migration and major changes in the CI/CD tools
1) Challenge
Client’s requirement included:
- Migrate from Docker Swarm to K8S.
- Substitute BitBucket/Bamboo to OpenSource alternatives.
- Implement CI/CD with new infrastructure (different VCS and target system)./li>
2) Goind forward
Understanding the environment through round tables.
3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
In a proposal form. An executable timeline for:
- Software selection (Rancher as cluster management tool, GitLab as VCS, Tekton as CI/CD tool).
- Installation and configuration of Rancher and K8s clusters.
- Migrate VCS tool (from BitBucket to Gitlab).
- Introducing GitOps principles.
