Implementation of CI/CD Process for a Leading IAM Solution

Our client, an advanced IAM platform powered by zero-trust protocols and zero-knowledge proofs, required an operational model to keep pace with the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape and the growing demand for passwordless authentication solutions.

Challenge

The client aimed to deliver continuous innovation and enhancements to its platform without compromising security or availability. They needed to adopt a DevOps culture that could foster rapid development, testing, and deployment while maintaining the utmost security standards.

Continuous Innovation Without Compromising Security

Balancing the need for rapid development with maintaining high-security standards.

Scalable and Reliable Infrastructure

Ensuring infrastructure could handle scaling demands without sacrificing reliability.

Solution

The client leveraged Amazon EKS to enhance their DevOps processes, embracing the orchestration of containerized services to ensure a reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure that aligns with their zero-trust approach.

Result: The AI-driven solution significantly reduced the time-to-market for new features and improved responsiveness to security threats.

Entrans utilized AWS CloudFormation for defining the infrastructure, which included Amazon EKS clusters. This approach allowed for consistent deployment and version-controlled infrastructure management. By adopting Amazon EKS, the client efficiently managed Kubernetes containers, ensuring reliable deployment, management, and scaling of services.

AWS CodePipeline automated the release process from code to deployment, seamlessly integrating with Amazon EKS. Additionally, AWS CodeBuild handled code compilation, testing, and produced ready-to-deploy container images. Automated security scanning and compliance checks were integrated into the CI/CD pipeline to uphold high-security standards.

Container management and microservices deployment within Amazon EKS ensured high scalability and isolation, even during demand surges. Monitoring and logging were achieved using Amazon CloudWatch, with AWS X-Ray providing tracing and debugging capabilities. AWS IAM roles and AWS KMS enhanced security through permissions management and encryption of sensitive data.
