Overview

Engagement overview

Axiom Telecom sought to establish a scalable technology foundation for its next-generation distribution platform as it expanded across multiple supply chains. The organization required an automated, repeatable approach to provisioning cloud infrastructure that reduced manual effort, ensured consistency across environments, and simplified infrastructure management.

TO THE NEW worked with Axiom Telecom to implement an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) framework on AWS, enabling standardized infrastructure provisioning, faster deployments, and improved operational efficiency across cloud environments.

Business objective

The engagement focused on creating a scalable and automated infrastructure foundation to support the client's next-generation distribution platform.

01

Automate infrastructure provisioning to reduce deployment time and manual effort

02

Standardize infrastructure configurations across development, staging, and production environments

03

Enable rapid provisioning of on-demand environments for development and testing

04

Minimize operational risk through version-controlled infrastructure management

05

Business solution

TO THE NEW collaborated with the client to establish an Infrastructure as Code framework that automated infrastructure provisioning and standardized cloud operations across AWS.

  • Implemented Terraform workspaces to manage infrastructure consistently across multiple environments

  • Configured environment-specific deployments using shared infrastructure code

  • Validated infrastructure changes before deployment using Terraform planning

  • Retrieved environment-specific infrastructure credentials securely through AWS Secrets Manager

  • Automated provisioning of core AWS infrastructure including networking, compute, storage, databases, and Kubernetes services

  • Automated network provisioning for subnets, routing, NAT gateways, and related infrastructure components

  • Integrated Ansible with Terraform local-exec provisioners to configure provisioned resources

  • Automated installation of Kubernetes tools including Kong, Istio, Fluent Bit, kube2iam, and supporting services

  • Configured Terraform state storage using Amazon S3 for centralized infrastructure state management

  • Established Terraform state locking with Amazon DynamoDB to protect infrastructure consistency

  • Generated dynamic Ansible inventories and configuration files using Terraform resources

Business impact

The Infrastructure as Code implementation improved deployment efficiency while strengthening operational consistency across cloud environments.

Infrastructure provisioning completed in less than 1 hour, significantly reducing deployment effort

Automated infrastructure provisioning reduced manual configuration effort and human error

Standardized infrastructure management improved consistency across development, staging, and production environments

Version-controlled infrastructure simplified change management and rollback processes

On-demand environment provisioning accelerated development and testing workflows

Centralized infrastructure state management improved operational reliability and deployment consistency
