Case Study: Variant accelerates secure application deployment with Fairwinds Insights

Variant uses Fairwinds Insights to Make it Easy for Developers to Deploy Kubernetes Applications Securely

Variant, a company that utilizes technology to modernize freight logistics, faced a challenge in its deployment process. Their platform engineering team was burdened with a manual 3-5 day checklist to ensure application security and readiness for production, which delayed deployments and consumed valuable resources. To automate this process and make it easier for developers to deploy securely, Variant selected the Fairwinds Insights Kubernetes governance platform from Fairwinds.

The Fairwinds solution automated security scanning and policy enforcement, integrating directly into the CI/CD pipeline. This allowed developers to identify and fix issues in staging, eliminating the need for manual reviews. Implementing Fairwinds Insights saved the platform team one to two weeks of work per month, freed them to focus on engineering sprints, and significantly sped up developer deployment times.
