Server consolidation, real-time monitoring, continuous integration and deployment, docker-based virtualization etc. are some of the ways to optimize the infrastructure costs.
Problem: Customer wanted to reduce the server maintenance costs and speedup the deployment process
Methodology: Cenacle optimized the IT infrastructure costs by implementing the DevOps best practices as below:
- Consolidated the servers to share the resources
- Created Docker containers for core modules that need scaling
- Implemented CI/CD for auto deployment
- Implemented monitoring tools to identify and auto-scale the resources based on demand
Results: Achieved a
3 fold reduction in the server costs over a period of 6 months from USD 18k down to USD 6k
