Qumu wanted help to accelerate innovation in their Google Cloud environment by enabling agile development of new cloud native services, designed for long-term supportability, reliability, scalability.
Project Challenges
As part of a larger Cloud Transformation, Qumu wanted to update their Java-based applications in GCE VMs, and transform their software development process by adopting new cloud native techniques, so they can bring more new features to market faster.
“The Strategic Cloud Engineer and Managed Services offerings from Zencore have provided a boost to our efforts to increase the deployment speeds. Zencore’s expertise will help us continue to increase velocity over time.”
Solution
Zencore was engaged to help reshape the software supply chain pipeline, from the repo structure, branching strategies, build of container artifacts, CI/CD pipelines development, network and security configuration, to the infrastructure runtime on Kubernetes with GKE, Zencore has been engaged to provide an end-to-end solution as well as help manage and troubleshoot the current and future environments.

Results
This engagement led to the creation of a brand new paradigm, replacing a mono repo structure, with ephemeral Git branches and associated test environments being provisioned. This included Github actions integrations for CI and Harness for CD, ultimately landing application services on GKE with security and networking best practices in place.
