Case Study: Sakura KCS achieves faster, more reliable DevOps with Puppet

Sakura KCS automates daily IT tasks for 3 staff with Puppet

SAKURA KCS, an information service provider based in Japan, faced challenges with manual, error-prone IT management and unstructured development processes. Their extensive infrastructure required hours of daily monitoring, and siloed teams hindered efficiency and business value. To address this, they turned to Puppet to kickstart a DevOps initiative and automate their systems management.

By implementing Puppet's desired state management, SAKURA KCS automated routine tasks like password changes, patching, and security enforcement across their entire fleet. Puppet also enabled the creation of standardized virtual test environments, improving collaboration and quality. The results included significant gains in operational efficiency and accuracy, with fewer staff required for daily tasks. Working directly with Puppet professionals provided the confidence to build a durable DevOps practice, transforming their development flow and empowering their engineers.
