Abstract:

To succeed in cloud adoption and thrive in multi-cloud environments, most organizations develop centralized platform teams. The primary function of these centralized platform teams popularly known as Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) teams is to industrialize application delivery. The platform teams which are made up of individuals who provision, run and manage shared infrastructure in cloud environments across teams, act on the requests generated by developers. This activity is time-consuming and prone to manual errors. This paper defines a system that enables developers to access platform capabilities on-demand using templates via a self-service mechanism. Application delivery in cloud environments may evolve into proven repeated patterns useful for standardizing how people function and what tools they consume and which process they follow. These standardized steps can be converted into a template made with infrastructure as Code. Using this system, the developers can launch their required resources using templates without intervention from platform teams while adhering to internal compliance of the organization. These templates built using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) by the platform teams make it easy to create new resources in the cloud and release new capabilities more quickly; ensuring that desired configurations are set by Infrastructure, Network, Security, and Operations Engineers.

I. Introduction

Cloud has become a go-to choice for organizations to deliver new solutions. As the cloud architectures of organizations have matured, they have become more complex to manage and dynamic to tackle. This demands businesses run their workloads using the most efficient and innovative environment. Organizations that have attained a certain maturity working on the cloud are further tuning their processes, people, and tools. They are establishing centralized teams to manage platforms that allow for smooth cloud adoption enterprise-wide and help with scaling. With cloud deployments being the norm, these centralized teams are required to deliver several standardized workflows compliant with the organization’s internal policies. These deployments require shared infrastructure, runtimes, or services in the cloud. To deliver these standardized workflows with minimal manual interventions and execute them as a self-service this paper defines a system that would enable platform teams to create templates with IaC to provision the required resources.
