Accelerating DevOps Agility with Configuration Management and IaC

Centizen helped us adopt Configuration as Code, bringing structure and agility to our DevOps pipeline. What once took hours of manual effort is now fully automated. Thanks to Centizen, we’ve significantly reduced deployment time and enhanced our team’s productivity.

– Infrastructure Lead

Integrated Credit Solutions Provider

A leading provider of Integrated Credit Solutions, the organization supports a wide range of reporting, inspection, and transaction services for users across multiple industries. Operating in a highly regulated environment, it ensures consistent infrastructure performance, secure deployments, and traceable system changes.

The Challenge

Maintaining consistent configurations and full visibility across development environments was becoming increasingly complex, calling for a more structured and centralized approach.

The Solution

Centizen implemented an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach using Terraform and Ansible, along with automated policy enforcement to reduce drift and deployment delays.

The Outcome

The client achieved faster deployments, reduced manual intervention, and better visibility across configurations—leading to improved audit readiness and developer productivity.

The Solution

Phase 1: Discovery & Strategic Planning (Week 1–2)

Centizen deployed a skilled DevOps team to assess the client’s on-premise and cloud setup. Key configuration baselines and compliance rules were defined, setting the foundation for automated control and tracking.

Phase 2: Infrastructure as Code Setup (Week 3–4)

Using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and GitLab CI/CD, Centizen converted infrastructure and app configurations into reusable, version-controlled scripts. This ensured uniform deployments and repeatable environments across development, QA, and production.

Phase 3: Policy Enforcement & Drift Management (Week 5)

Security and compliance policies were codified using HashiCorp Sentinel and AWS Config.. Centizen implemented auto-remediation mechanisms to detect and fix drift using Lambda functions triggered in real time.

Phase 4: Monitoring & Visibility (Week 6)

Centizen integrated Grafana, ELK Stack, and Splunk to create live dashboards and centralized logging for tracking configuration changes, service status, and audit trails. Teams could now visualize and respond to infrastructure changes instantly.

The Outcome

The Outcome

  • The adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automated configuration management by Centizen brought about significant operational benefits for the client. Deployment speed improved dramatically, as reusable, version-controlled scripts eliminated inconsistencies and manual errors across environments. This consistency also reduced the number of configuration drift incidents, thanks to real-time monitoring and auto-remediation workflows that kept infrastructure aligned with defined baselines.
  • Audit readiness saw a complete transformation. Every configuration change was now logged, tracked, and versioned—making compliance reporting faster, more accurate, and fully automated. Developers were able to focus more on innovation and delivery, spending less time troubleshooting environment mismatches or deployment failures. As a result, developer productivity rose sharply.
  • The stability of services also improved, with rollback capabilities allowing the team to respond quickly to failed changes or incidents. With fewer errors and more resilient infrastructure, overall service uptime increased significantly. Finally, the move to automation and better resource optimization contributed to a notable reduction in IT operational costs, further enhancing ROI.
