Automated Infrastructure and Monitoring for Secure, Scalable App Deployment

Manual Provisioning Hindering Operational Agility: Many healthcare IT departments still rely on semi-manual provisioning of application infrastructure, which hampers agility, increases the risk of misconfigurations, and slows down the deployment of mission-critical clinical systems.

Absence of Real-Time System Monitoring and Clinical Alerting: Without robust observability frameworks, including proactive monitoring, alerting, and telemetry, healthcare organizations struggle to maintain system uptime, jeopardizing clinical workflows and patient safety.

Underutilization of CI/CD Pipelines and DevSecOps Practices: Incomplete integration of continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) and the lack of automated code scanning and runtime error reporting resulted in delayed feature releases, heightened security exposure, and non-compliance with healthcare data regulations.

• Support and maintain IT infrastructure deployed in the GCP cloud.

• Configure and maintain CI/CD.

• Assist the development team.

• Optimize infrastructure architecture and overall infrastructure costs.

• Infrastructure deployment was transitioned to the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) concept using Terraform.

• GKE network policies were implemented to segregate Kubernetes network layer access for improved security.

• Sentry was integrated to capture client-side application errors.

• Cloud logging and monitoring were set up to track infrastructure performance, service statuses, and alerts, ensuring proactive issue resolution.

• Security Onion was deployed to monitor potential network security threats.

• SonarQube was implemented as a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool to identify vulnerabilities in the code.

• Aqua Scanner was utilized for Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and Zap Proxy was used to detect vulnerabilities in web application endpoints.
