Case Study: a British multinational financial services and asset management company achieves agile cloud modernization with CloudHedge

Delivering Agility by Modernization of App Environments to EKS & DevSecOps process

A large multinational financial services and asset management company sought to modernize its application infrastructure to reduce costs and increase agility. The client faced the complex challenge of migrating from an on-premise OpenShift cluster to AWS EKS while also standardizing its CI/CD processes by moving from Jenkins to GitHub Actions. To navigate this transition without disrupting developer productivity, they partnered with CloudHedge for its expertise in Kubernetes managed services and DevSecOps.

CloudHedge implemented a comprehensive solution by establishing a resilient EKS infrastructure with Fargate, a backup cluster for redundancy, and automated, reusable GitHub Actions workflows. This new GitOps-driven DevSecOps process integrated security checks with tools like Veracode and Trivy to prevent faulty deployments. The results for the client were significant, including enhanced security through granular permissions, simplified environment management, and a major boost in developer productivity and deployment frequency. CloudHedge's work also delivered improved observability with custom Datadog dashboards and alerts for quicker issue resolution.
