Case
Enhancing Operational Efficiency through Automated CI/CD
Who are Telenet?
Telenet is a leading Belgian telecommunications provider, offering a broad range of services including broadband internet, fixed and mobile telephony, and television. Known for its innovation in digital and entertainment solutions, Telenet caters to both consumer and B2B customers.
The challenge
Mastering complexity: streamlining operations for 30+ services
Telenet was confronted with operational hurdles as it managed and updated more than 30 distinct services. The dynamic nature of their industry necessitated frequent updates and the integration of new services, which posed substantial challenges in maintaining service efficiency and reliability. The company required a solution capable of handling the complexities of multiple service management without extensive manual oversight. The solution needed not only to minimize human intervention and the potential for errors but also to ensure that each service adhered to stringent quality standards prior to deployment.
The solution
A seamless integration: automating CI/CD for better service management
The goal was to create a more streamlined, error-resistant operation that could adapt quickly to changes while maintaining high-quality service delivery to meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements. This is where our team stepped in to provide support to Telenet.
We implemented a fully automated CI/CD pipeline that integrates with tools like Cucumber for backend testing, Cypress for frontend testing, and Ansible for deployment management. This setup runs within a GitLab pipeline, allowing for continuous integration and testing that automatically pushes updates to test environments.
