Move to DevOps

An AWS Modernization Pathway with TD SYNNEX

The "Move to DevOps" pathway is fundamentally about changing processes, culture, and tooling. It's a combination of cultural philosophies and a suite of AWS tools that increases an organization's ability to deliver applications at high velocity, evolving products faster than with traditional methods and leading to greater business agility.

Triggers & Compelling Events

Manual Release Processes

Deployments are slow, risky, and require significant manual effort.

High Failure Rate

Frequent outages and long recovery times after deployments.

Lack of Visibility

Difficult to monitor application performance and troubleshoot issues.

Inconsistent Environments

Dev, test, and prod environments drift, causing bugs in production.

Security Vulnerabilities

Security is an afterthought, slowing down releases and increasing risk.

Siloed Teams

Lack of collaboration between Dev and Ops teams creates friction.

The Modernization Journey: From Pain to Platform

Solving Manual Release Processes

By implementing AWS CodePipeline, you automate the entire software release workflow. This CI/CD service builds, tests, and deploys your code every time there is a change, based on the release model you define.

Solving High Failure Rate

AWS CodeDeploy automates deployments and minimizes downtime. It allows for blue/green deployments and automatic rollbacks, drastically reducing the risk of production failures and enabling rapid recovery.

Solving Lack of Visibility

Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray provide deep insights into application performance. CloudWatch monitors logs and metrics, while X-Ray traces requests as they travel through your entire application, identifying bottlenecks and errors.

Solving Inconsistent Environments

AWS CloudFormation, AWS Config, and AWS Proton ensure consistency. CloudFormation provides Infrastructure as Code templates, Config continuously monitors for drift, and Proton allows platform teams to define and vend standardized application stacks for developers.

Solving Security Vulnerabilities

DevSecOps is integrated into the pipeline. Amazon CodeGuru Security and AWS CodeCommit scan for code vulnerabilities and secrets, catching issues before they reach production and shifting security left in the development lifecycle.

Solving for Siloed Teams

Amazon CodeCatalyst provides a unified software development service, bringing together all the tools teams need to plan, code, build, test, and deploy applications on AWS. This breaks down silos and creates a single source of truth for the entire development lifecycle.
