Cloudify
Cloudify needed to bolster its security with individualized policies for every container cluster during its migration from virtual machines (VMs) to a serverless infrastructure. After investigating several options, Cloudify chose Calico as the best solution for container networking and security, workload access controls, and micro-segmentation. As a result, Cloudify scaled to sixty customer deployments per month, streamlined user experience, and reduced security controls and policies implementation from days to minutes.

Lemongrass
Lemongrass customers run extensive SAP landscapes, consisting of countless production workloads, as well as non-production workloads that need to be maintained even when they’re not in use. They turned to SUSE because their operating system is commonly used to develop SAP solutions and is certified to run mission-critical SAP workloads, including memory-intensive SAP HANA applications. SUSE allows customers the ability to operate and scale their SAP systems in a repeatable and predictable manner. Using SUSE Manager, customers can manage and update their SAP HANA resources while incurring near-zero downtime. The implementation to SUSE allowed customers to Spin up specific SAP systems in a self-service, on-demand manner with daily cost transparency, recover SAP data and systems builds from a specific point in time via continuous backups, work off of the most recent and most accurate copies of production data, automate business operations and thus, maintain and patch systems without having to shut them down.

Speed is a key benefit in secure DevOps, but teams often think that there’s a tradeoff between speed and security. That’s not always the case. With CloudGuard Dome9’s Dynamic Access Leases, we were able to provide just-in-time access for our DevOps teams to allow for rapid yet secure access which was a major enabler for our IT operations.

TrueCar

TrueCar, a digital automotive marketplace, needed a solution to gain visibility and reduce the amount of time engineers dedicated to monitoring and tracking. Siloed monitoring tools led to high mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) and prevented their engineers from innovating. After implementing Datadog, TrueCar was able to monitor all environments and went from developing a feature in months to just one day.
