Case Study: a US-based telecom provider achieves continuous deployment and faster provisioning with Royal Cyber and Chef

Continuous Integration & Deployment Using Chef for a Leading Telecom Industry

A US-based telecom provider, a subsidiary of a larger telecommunications company, faced significant challenges due to its constantly changing infrastructure requirements and rapidly expanding application functionalities. Their processes were fragmented and not standardized, making it difficult and time-consuming to consistently deploy environments from development to production. To address this, they partnered with Royal Cyber to implement a solution using Chef for configuration management.

Royal Cyber's approach was to deploy Chef as the primary infrastructure management tool to standardize technology across the entire business. This move automated previously manual installation and configuration steps, introducing development best practices like code review and automated testing. The results for the telecom provider were substantial, including an 80% improvement in efficiency, the ability to achieve continuous deployment, and a massive reduction in deployment times, such as deploying WebSphere updates within minutes. Royal Cyber’s solution also increased consistency, accuracy, and prevented unauthorized access to production environments.
