Contino to Present #DevOps Case Study at @DevOpsSUMMIT NY | @ContinoHQ #Serverless #AWS #APM #Monitoring #ContinuousDelivery

Contino is a global technical consultancy that helps highly-regulated enterprises transform through DevOps and cloud computing

A DevOps Case Study: CI/CD as a Service, Serverless, and AWS

Meet Ryan and Ernie after their presentation at Contino Booth #230

Contino is working with a large retail banking institution in the US. Embedded in the bank are legacy operating models, technologies and practices. After years of data center expansion, vendor driven software development and various data incidents, the client decided to adopt more automated practices and tooling to allow for secure software deployment to the AWS cloud. The intent is to allow for various development teams to operate independent of the enterprise pipeline backbone, and integrate/onboard applications into the pipeline when ready for a rigorous testing and inspection process while deploying to the AWS cloud.

Through the Contino dual-delivery model, the teams validated and improved the AWS pipeline strategy. The validation and elaboration allowed for the dual-delivery team to scope tightly on assuring security by employing a security concept referred to as the "clean room". The clean room, as well as the larger pipeline, treats the individual tooling options as commodities and contributors towards the ultimate goal of creating a seamless enterprise pipeline that is simple for contributing teams to leverage. Adding and removing tools to the clean room and pipeline now becomes a matter of minutes, rather than weeks. Essentially the clean room is the enterprise means to create DevOps for DevOps. In short, we created CI/CD as a Service, using Serverless AWS technology such that using the pipeline is based on a subscription / broker model for both service consumption and activity rendering.

With the impact of lifting the enterprise capabilities and technology shifting from private to AWS, there was mindful intent paid towards the holistic enterprise architecture to support such an uplift. Contino worked with the client to model and review all areas of impact, including the business, application and technology tiers using an industry standard Architecture Modeling Language (The Open Group). This view uniquely provides a measured and progressive view of how security, AWS, DevOps and business operations are all integrated to drive for sustainable digital transformation in a highly regulated bank. This view allowed for legacy concerns to be remediated in a modern context and brokered meaningful conversations to handle typical objections that prevent many teams from more simply migrating and consuming AWS public cloud services at scale.

Infrastructure and services that historically took days or weeks to provision can now be tested and deployed ephemerally and in minutes, allowing for more rapid testing and much tighter feedback loops to the product delivery teams.

Contino is a global technical consultancy who specialise in helping highly-regulated enterprises transform faster, modernizing their way of working.

The company focuses on people, process and technology to enable rapid digital innovation, and work with you through every step, from concept to delivery.

Founded in 2014 by Matt Farmer and Benjamin Wootton, they've now grown to over 200 people worldwide, with offices in London, New York, Atlanta, Sydney and Melbourne.

Contino partners with AWS, HashiCorp and Kubernetes. And they hold AWS Financial Services and DevOps competencies; are approved to perform AWS Well-Architected Reviews; and hold over 50 AWS certifications.

Digital Transformation is much more than a buzzword. The radical shift to digital mechanisms for almost every process is evident across all industries and verticals. This is often especially true in financial services, where the legacy environment is many times unable to keep up with the rapidly shifting demands of the consumer. The constant pressure to provide complete, omnichannel delivery of customer-facing solutions to meet both regulatory and customer demands is putting enormous pressure on...
IoT is rapidly becoming mainstream as more and more investments are made into the platforms and technology. As this movement continues to expand and gain momentum it creates a massive wall of noise that can be difficult to sift through.

There are so many connected products already in place today with many hundreds more on the h...
