As a part of CI/CD design, SNP will study the current container application images, code repositories, development & release frequencies. SNP will also understand the pre-requisites and approval processes the customer is following during each release between development, QA, and production environments. Based on the observations, SNP will design the Azure DevOps workflow including security for DevOps and prepare a CI/CD implementation plan.
The SNP DevOps team will review the Azure DevOps workflow and implementation plan with the customer along with the toolset like Azure DevOps Pipelines, security tools like Aqua/Twist Lock and other Azure DevOps extensions finalized during planning. This step will finalize the deployment steps that the SNP team will perform in the coming phase.
The SNP deployment team will move forward and deploy the finalized Azure DevOps workflow using Azure Pipelines and ACR, container images to Dev & QA environments including DevSecOps. The pilot release is crucial to know the success of CI/CD Pipelines and any fixes that might be needed before moving to production.
SNP’s deployment team will implement the CI/CD Pipelines as per the tested workflow during the pilot phase. SNP will document the whole configuration in a standard CI/CD template with the current state of DevOps along with applied security. As a part of the CI/CD solution reliability period, SNP will enable a 5-day support post-deployment process.
An application lifecycle is influenced by DevOps throughout its plan, develop, deliver and operate phases. Each phase of the application lifecycle is dependent on another without being role-specific. DevOps transformation undergoes various stages of maturity. SNP’s maturity model gives an organization the understanding of their most distinguished elements and helps the organization think tank to formulate language and discussion of what needs to be improved and how that can be achieved.
SNP’s expert architects will lead your organization through the maturity model by following the below-mentioned practices:
From code to cloud, constant integration and constant delivery are how organizations can automate each part of their DevOps process. The source or version control system allows the developers to track changes made to the code and collaborate on code.
Infrastructure is the backbone of the system and an integral part of software development. Leveraging Infrastructure as Code, SNP helps customers automate repeatable tasks like provisioning, configuration, and deployments for one or more machines.
Development, Security & Operations is a transformational shift in the digitally evolving IT world which incorporates secure culture, practices, and tools to drive visibility, collaboration, and agility of security into each phase of the DevOps pipeline.
Data engineering helps organizations design and implement the management, monitoring, security, and privacy of data using the full stack of Azure data services to satisfy business needs. Data engineering saw a gradual evolution from the days of handling data on Excel spreadsheets and local machines to handling data on the cloud. In the modern business environment, data engineering could be viewed in two ways—dealing with a cloud-native data warehouse where all the organizational data is processed or handling different cloud-hosted datasets from different departments that are analyzed on a centralized system or software.
SNP Technologies will deliver the following consulting services:
Business leaders can leverage data as an asset and scale up their productivity with data modernization by:
SNP Technologies and Microsoft bring the power and ease of using Azure Databricks Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to modernize your data warehouse with a robust Apache SparkTM analytics platform in the cloud for high performance and global scalability. Azure Databricks provides a fast, easy and collaborative analytics platform to accelerate and simplify the process of developing dig data and artificial intelligence solutions backed by industry leading SLAs.
SNP Technologies’ Azure database migration services are 360o of managed services designed to perform migrations from multiple database sources to the Azure cloud platform with negligible downtime. It provides businesses with a highly available and comprehensive solution. SNP would integrate some of the existing Azure tools and services in the data migration services.
A modern data warehouse takes modern and complex data processing up a notch. It brings together data of an organization of any scale easily and provides insights through analytical dashboards, reports and advanced analytics for all the users across the organization.
Cloud has changed the way applications are designed and data is processed and stored. Long gone are the days of a one-stop solution single database that handles all of the solution’s data. Technology now allows the users to use multiple, specialized storage, each optimized to serve specific capabilities. Multiple layers of business logic that are read and written in a single data layer is obsolete. Solutions are now designed and developed around the data pipeline that describes how data flows through a solution, where it is processed, where it is stored and how it is consumed.
Organizations can leverage AI without having developers who are skilled in machine learning with cognitive services. All they need is an API to embed the ability to see, hear, speak, search, understand and accelerate decision making.
However, legacy applications and line-of-business (LOB) applications that aren’t cloud-born, tend to remain on-premise. Managing such complex environments and the cloud seamlessly can be cumbersome. Identifying and recruiting certified experts is time-consuming and takes focus away from the core business. This is where we come in. SNP can manage Microsoft Azure Environments with our industry-acclaimed processes and technology platforms to provide comprehensive solutions for monitoring, managing, and optimizing your cloud resources and workloads.

Your team and SNP present a synopsis of the engagement to its executive sponsor to communicate the value proposition, lessons learned and potential that Azure Kubernetes Service offers to your organization.
What is the application called and what function does it carry out? Which department owns the application? Who is the product manager?
How frequently is the application updated? Is the application scheduled for a major upgrade, replacement or retirement?
A list of all the services that support each application. This includes front-end, middle-tier, APIs, databases, Windows services, web services, file storage (public files) and any other components that are used by the application.
The number of components that make up an application. These components could be deployed independently and have dependencies on other applications or be dependencies for other applications. In addition to the number of components, you want to be mindful of the technologies that are used to support these components.
Map each application component to a technology, such as .NET, Angular, Java, SQL, Node, etc. By gathering this information, along with application architecture, you will be able to determine which Azure services can support your applications.
Determine who uses the applications, whether they have internal or external users, hours of operation, how many users does the application have on a daily basis, peak days or times. Does the application have a constant load, or is it more heavily used at the beginning or end of the month? The answers to these questions will help formulate the end-state for a move of the application into Azure, including sizing and scaling strategy.
Determine how the application is currently deployed, including whether the different components reside within the organization’s internal network, or on externally accessible servers. Is there an automated process to package and deploy the application (CI/CD)? Does the team use scripts such as PowerShell to perform deployments? How are database changes handled? Do the servers have any third-party components installed on them to allow the application to function properly?
Does the organization have a development, test, and production environment for the application? This will help you create a strategy for the customer’s subscriptions and resource groups, as well as give you a path towards moving the customer’s dev/test environments to Azure as part of the path towards production.
How much operational support does the application require in terms of backups, server reboots, uptime management? How does the support team work with the application e.g. do they need to log in to servers to perform their support tasks? Understanding these will help you determine the type of metrics that have to be accessible to the support team once the application is in Azure. It will also frame the conversation of VMs or containers vs non-VM setup with PaaS or serverless computing.
Are the SLI/SLO/SLAs in place for the applications? Do you have deployment outage windows? Is this a mission-critical application?
Are there any external application dependencies? What is the plan to access those dependencies once the application is moved to Azure?
How is access to the application managed? Is it custom authentication, a well-known authentication provider, AD, etc.?
As you learn about the various applications, are you able to create a logical map from the technologies that support the application to technologies available in Azure? For example, if the application is hosted in IIS, it would map to an Azure App Service. If it uses a SQL Server database, it would be mapped to an Azure SQL Database. This would help you determine if you would need to make code changes and the level of effort needed to change the application and get it ready for Azure.
Identifying where there are resources that map directly from the on-premises world to PaaS lowers the complexity of your move to Azure. Throughout the inventory phase, the partner should be aware of systems or components that would require code changes to support the move. Once those are found, the partner should assess the level of effort needed to make the required changes and make the component compatible with a PaaS or serverless architecture.
