Client Trying to Improve Time to Market with their Application Features

FP Complete migrates critical services system to a new, modern infrastructure

A connected health company migrated their web services to AWS to support their life-critical monitoring system, which leveraged a complex cellphone/telecommunication setup.

Unfortunately, their initial solution for long-term AWS deployment didn’t meet their needs. They were finding it difficult to maintain the system and deploy new updates — costing them time and money. So, they called in reinforcements from FP Complete to update their system and:

• Shorten release cycles
• Improve application deployments for their web services
• Make scaling easier to meet user demand
• Create more reliable software builds to deploy, test, and optionally roll back

FP Complete’s Solution

• Created new AWS infrastructure footprint using FP Complete own in house Terraform templates.
• Ensured customer awareness and satisfaction of new AWS environments via tight technical alignment, communication and education with DevOps teams.
• Provided Terraform specific training to ensure customer comfort and proficiency.
• Designed and implemented new Blue/Green application deployment system to facilitate seamless switching between deployment builds and with legacy AWS environments.
• Ensured interoperability of newly merged new infrastructure with existing in-use tools like Puppet, used for server instance management.
• Assisted in setting up adherence to new network standards such as VPCs, Transit Gateways, WAF and DNS changes due to a merger that happened simultaneously during this DevOps infrastructure project.
• Codified corporate standards into declarative infrastructure ensuring future modification efficiency.
• Worked closely with the customer’s network operations team to ensure the new systems VPCs and Transit Gateway Networks aligned with the network setup the customer was using across their corporate network. This network setup was integrated and set up to work smoothly with the customer’s corporate WAF and DNS.
• Introduced and implemented modern DevSecOps tools like Packer, which enabled the customer to pre-build server images ahead of deployments. This allowed them to reduce the time needed to initialize and set up new servers, improving turnaround on new deployments.
