CASE STUDY
Overview

KO Technologies were engaged to help automate some cloud SaaS solutions to reduce operational time and cost.

Challenges

Automation for CloudFlare, Azure Active Directory, GitHub and CI/CD pipeline improvements for deployments into AWS ECS.

Solutions

We created a sandpit environment for testing the GitHub and Azure AD SAML integration, which gave the client confidence in the implementation.
We tested many scenarios before enforcing SSO. This helps the DevOps team manage users more easily and securely.

 

Phase 1 – to implement GitHub and Azure AD SAML.
Phase 2 – Automate Cloudflare configuration.
