Executive Summary:

Security Benefit, a leading retirement and investment management company, partnered with ITTStar to implement AWS Terraform infrastructure automation services for modern cloud provisioning. By automating infrastructure deployment using Terraform and AWS, the organization significantly reduced onboarding time, improved operational efficiency, standardized infrastructure provisioning, and accelerated cloud operations across development, QA, and production environments.

Customer challenge:

Manual cloud provisioning often delays application deployment and increases operational risk. Infrastructure as Code implementation on AWS enables organizations to automate infrastructure provisioning, standardize cloud resources, eliminate configuration errors, and accelerate DevOps workflows while improving governance and scalability.

Partner Solution:

ITTStar implemented automated AWS EC2 provisioning using Terraform by integrating Terraform templates with GitLab CI/CD pipelines, AWS IAM, and Active Directory. The Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach standardized cloud deployments, reduced provisioning time from weeks to a single day, and improved security, governance, and operational consistency across AWS environments.

Why AWS?

DevOps infrastructure automation with Terraform enables organizations to automate cloud deployments, manage Infrastructure as Code, and accelerate application delivery. Combined with AWS cloud services, Terraform provides secure, scalable, and repeatable infrastructure provisioning while reducing manual effort and improving operational reliability.
