Deutsche Telekom case study: Stabilizing Deutsche Telekom's IAM and speeding up releases

Objectives

Deutsche Telekom, a leader in fiber optics, is building its own system for mapping every fiber path. It is the biggest system we have ever seen, and Telekom needed help with the IAM Red Hat SSO (Keycloak) solution inside it, along with a large backlog of tasks across OpenStack, AWS and Keycloak.

Solution

Michal, Patrik and Andrej joined the IAM team and worked through the adaptation period. Once up to speed, they cleared backlog tasks and helped the team deliver the required functionality. They found their way around the complex Telekom infrastructure and CI/CD ecosystem.

Technologies used: Red Hat SSO, Kubernetes, GitLab CI, Pulumi, Kubernetes operators and OpenShift.

Quote

Michal and his team from DevOpsGroup joined a team, which is providing central infrastructure components for Access Management, some 6 months ago. They adapted to our very complex microservices driven environment very fast, providing benefits to the team early. Our architecture is based on Kubernetes running on AWS, and the whole CI/CD Pipeline is based on GitLab using HELM and HELMFILE with a high level of complexity. With their deep knowledge about these technologies, they helped us to stabilize our production deployments while at the same time increase the deployment schedule. They are also able to provide architecture and solution design skills. Michal and his team show good social competencies.
