An enterprise steel and metals company seeks to enhance the automation and efficiency of their multi-cloud infrastructure. By leveraging GitOps and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), the goal is to streamline operations, improve observability, and ensure security across their distributed systems. The project involves deploying Kubernetes clusters and other key technologies like Terraform, Docker, and Prometheus, all orchestrated through Jenkins and ArgoCD.
The target users include IT managers, DevOps engineers, and system administrators within the steel and metals industry, specifically those responsible for maintaining and optimizing cloud infrastructure.
The steel and metals company faces challenges in managing its multi-cloud infrastructure, leading to inefficiencies, increased costs, and security vulnerabilities. Standardizing and automating their cloud operations is critical for maintaining competitiveness and operational efficiency.
There is a strong motivation driven by the need for competitive advantage and significant cost savings from optimized cloud resource utilization. Additionally, enhanced security and compliance with industry standards are critical factors.
Failure to address the current infrastructure challenges could result in ongoing operational inefficiencies, higher costs, and potential security breaches, ultimately leading to a competitive disadvantage.
Current alternatives include maintaining the status quo with manual processes and existing fragmented solutions, which are not scalable or sustainable in the long term. Competitors may already be investing in similar automation and optimization strategies.
Our solution offers a unique combination of multi-cloud support with automated infrastructure management using GitOps and IaC, coupled with enhanced observability and security, tailored specifically for the steel and metals industry.
The strategy will focus on demonstrating cost savings and risk mitigation through case studies and ROI analysis, coupled with targeted outreach to key decision-makers within the steel and metals industry through industry trade shows and digital marketing campaigns.
