IT Operations Automation
Context
The client, a major international banking group, operates a very large Windows server estate requiring high levels of industrialization, security, and monitoring. To meet these requirements, the client launched an initiative to automate operational processes, strengthen compliance, and improve security management across more than 20,000 Windows servers. In this context, the client relies on Avaliance to design automation and monitoring solutions based on modern technologies, combining Python, Flask, MongoDB, and Kibana.
Challenges
The client needed to industrialize the management of its Windows infrastructure while ensuring high levels of compliance and security.
Key challenges included automating system operations at scale, ensuring server compliance (antivirus, monitoring, restart policies), monitoring and securing a critical server estate, and industrializing the tracking and deployment of critical Microsoft patches.
Achievements
-
design and optimization of APIs for Windows infrastructure management to automate operations (OS installation, start/stop)
-
development of automation solutions based on Python and Flask
-
implementation of compliance monitoring mechanisms for Windows infrastructures (antivirus, restart policies)
-
centralization and visualization of operational data through MongoDB and Kibana
-
industrialization of tracking and deployment of critical Microsoft patches across the server estate
