Partnerships

Synthesis is a HashiCorp partner which enables us to provide specialist knowledge and advice on the value proposition of the HashiCorp offerings for our clients. The HashiCorp product suite facilitates the development and deployment of large-scale service orientated software installations. Every product in the suite addresses a specific need throughout the DevOps lifecycle and focuses on enabling self-service infrastructure throughout an organisation.

The tide of companies going through digital transformations to adopt new technologies such as cloud and DevOps philosophies is rising and presenting new challenges along the way. From development to IT operations, companies need to critically evaluate how they build not only for the present but for the future as well. In order to succeed with a cloud journey, the adoption of DevOps techniques of self-service infrastructure is critical.

Giving developers access to provision their own infrastructure may be daunting, especially in a large, regulated environment. To address this, organisations often need to enforce policies on the type of infrastructure created, how it is used, and which teams get to use it. Using HashiCorp’s Sentinel policy as code framework, provides compliance and governance without requiring a shift in the overall team workflow. And because it is defined as code, it enables collaboration and comprehension for DevSecOps.

For self-service IT, the decoupling of the template-creation process and the provisioning process greatly reduces the time taken for any application to go live. This is because developers no longer need to wait for operations approval if they use a pre-approved template.

Our partnership with HashiCorp dovetails perfectly with our established Amazon Web Services (AWS) partnership allows Synthesis’ clients to take advantage of next-generation architecture to enhance automation, productivity and security while reducing costs.
