BlueJeans selected Taos to assist in its cloud migration to AWS, as well as create its CI/CD automation

Summary

When BlueJeans engaged Taos, they were looking into migration from an on-prem, bare-metal hosted software stack to AWS. They had a mix of monolithic applications and microservices. Most of these were manually built and deployed to their servers over ssh. Some services were dockerized. Many required server specs that were either manually configured or configured via manually triggered chef.

Solution

Taos created the CI/CD framework design utilizing a modified git-flow strategy for triggering CI/CD events and workflow. BJN were committed to using BitBucket server as their git hosting platform. Because they were using Jenkins for creating and executing jobs, we choseJenkins as our CI/CD automation tool. BitBucket webhooks were wired with Jenkins BitBucket organization plugin to enable the trigger of jobs via events in BitBucket, such as commits, the creation of pull requests, and merges into “mainline” branches.
