Case Study

Optimization of the cloud infrastructure through Azure Infrastructure Automation

The "Azure Infrastructure Automation" project automated numerous Azure subscriptions and created a self-service portal for user-friendly access. Privilege Identity Management was also introduced. These measures significantly improved the speed and security of the cloud services, enabled precise budget controls and met high security and compliance standards.

Benefits and improvements achieved

The project has automated the setup of over 150 Azure subscriptions and ensures that costs are allocated to the correct cost centers.
End users benefit from easy access through a self-service portal, which increases user-friendliness.
Through Privilege Identity Management, similar to the Zero Trust model, authorizations were limited in time and managed automatically, which contributed to ISO27001 compliance.

Project overview

The company has been using Azure for years and launched the project to improve the automation of its cloud infrastructure while maintaining high security and compliance standards. "Guard rails" were introduced for compliance, security and authorizations in order to meet the high requirements.

The "Azure Infrastructure Automation" project was developed to automate the provision and management of cloud resources and meet the company's requirements for high security and compliance standards.

Internal consultants need quick access to accounts and the ability to deploy a virtual machine independently and without in-depth experience in security. The system was designed so that cost centers for resources can be automatically stored and assigned to projects, which enables precise budget control.

The entire process has been automated to enable employees to work smoothly and manage the lifecycle of subscriptions to ensure that resources are properly removed once projects are completed.

Challenges

One of the biggest challenges was developing an application without a database that could meet the strict security and compliance requirements.

The company's IT department did not have enough specialists with the necessary specialist knowledge to effectively meet the increasing demands for fast and secure cloud services while ensuring high security standards.

Solutions

Results

The project led to a significant improvement in the speed and security of cloud service provision.

The implementation of Privilege Identity Management improved security compliance and control over access rights, enabling the infrastructure to be managed securely and compliantly.
