The Challenge
With a small DevOps team managing critical ocean data infrastructure, IMOS needed to transition from legacy systems while maintaining control and efficiency.
Key Pain Points
- Manual Terraform operations from workstations
- Legacy Chef and CloudFormation complexity
- Limited process control and visibility
"We wanted to put some control and some process around that. It was no longer kind of acceptable to just be doing a Terraform plan and apply on our CLI, on our workstations."
Why Terrateam
IMOS chose Terrateam for its simplicity, seamless GitHub integration, and minimal management overhead compared to alternatives like Jenkins.
Key Benefits
- Native GitHub workflow integration
- Simple configuration process
- Responsive support team
"I really appreciate that ability to just be able to jump on a Slack channel and you guys are personally responding."
The Results
IMOS overhauled infrastructure operations by adopting automated deployments, real-time visibility, and collaborative GitOps workflows with Terrateam.
- Manual CLI operations
- Complex legacy systems
- Limited process control
- Automated GitOps workflows
- Structured peer review process
- Enhanced visibility and control
"If you're wanting a very simple solution, it integrates directly with your Terraform code repository. It's a really good solution."
