Multi-Cloud DevOps Automation Case Study

Orchestrating Operations Across Clouds

About the Project

Enterprises today often run applications across multiple cloud providers to balance cost, performance, compliance, and vendor risk. But managing infrastructure and application deployments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud — while maintaining consistency and speed — poses significant operational challenges.

A global logistics and supply chain company partnered with Spundan to build a unified Multi-Cloud DevOps Automation framework, ensuring that its teams could provision, deploy, and manage workloads seamlessly across multiple public clouds — without adding manual complexity or compromising compliance.

The client operated diverse applications — real-time shipment tracking, partner APIs, and customer-facing dashboards — deployed on AWS for scalability, Azure for compliance workloads, and GCP for advanced analytics pipelines.

Challenges

Before engaging Spundan, the client faced several obstacles:

Fragmented Tooling

Different cloud teams used different tools, scripts, and deployment practices — leading to silos, errors, and duplicated effort.

Inconsistent Environments

Environments drifted between clouds, causing unexpected failures during deployments and scaling.

Manual Provisioning

Infrastructure provisioning lacked automation, slowing down new service launches and scaling.

Compliance Risks

Managing security policies and compliance controls manually across providers created audit headaches.

Spundan's Solution

Spundan's cloud and DevOps architects designed a robust Multi-Cloud DevOps Automation solution that unified operations under a single, flexible automation framework.

Key solution elements:

Unified IaC

Used Terraform to codify infrastructure for AWS, Azure, and GCP — version-controlled in Git repositories with strict approvals.

Multi-Cloud CI/CD Pipelines

Built modular CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI, and ArgoCD, orchestrating deployments across cloud targets from a single workflow.

Secrets & Policy Management

Integrated HashiCorp Vault and Azure Key Vault for secure, centralized secrets management and fine-grained access control.

Compliance Automation

Implemented policy-as-code tools like OPA (Open Policy Agent) to enforce governance and compliance across clouds automatically.

Environment Consistency

Deployed reusable templates and config modules to ensure that dev, staging, and production environments matched, no matter the cloud.

Monitoring & Rollback

Integrated monitoring tools and automated rollback strategies to ensure that cross-cloud deployments remained resilient and observable.

Implementation Timeline

The transformation unfolded in three phases over six months:

1

Discovery & Blueprinting

Assessed current workloads, cloud accounts, and DevOps maturity; designed the multi-cloud automation architecture.

2

Pilot Projects

Automated infrastructure and pipelines for critical applications on AWS and Azure to test workflows and compliance integration.

3

Full Rollout & Training

Expanded automation to all environments and workloads; trained in-house teams on managing IaC, CI/CD, and policy-as-code at scale.

Key Outcomes

"Spundan's multi-cloud automation has made our operations truly cloud-agnostic. We launch, scale, and secure workloads in any region, on any provider, with full confidence.”
— Head of Cloud Engineering, Global Logistics Client

  75% faster infrastructure provisioning, shrinking environment setup time from days to hours.

  Consistent deployments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, eliminating environment drift.

  Stronger security posture with centralized secrets and automated compliance checks.

  Higher team productivity, freeing engineers from repetitive manual tasks.

Lessons Learned

Standardization is Essential

Reusable modules and consistent pipelines kept workflows predictable and auditable.

Automate Everything

From provisioning to deployment and policy enforcement, automation reduced human error dramatically.

Upskilling Multicloud Teams

Cross-cloud knowledge and training built confidence in teams to operate anywhere.

Conclusion

By automating its multi-cloud operations, this global logistics company gained the agility to deploy applications where they make the most business sense — while maintaining control, security, and speed at scale.
