Automated Pipelines Capability

When a new
vulnerability is
detected, Tenable
releases a plugin.
Customer will use
that plugin to detect
all the nodes that are
out of compliance.
The scan is executed
again to make sure that
the node passes the
scan.
If the application
works fine, the VM
process is complete
If the application fails,
the developers are
informed so that they
can start to
troubleshoot.
Bakery
AMI
Generation
The cookbook
is updated
based on the
plugin to
incorporate the
fix into all the
impacted
nodes.

Agile / Sprint Methodology
21

Scrum Team Focus
Agile Project Success
1. Cannot constrain Scope, Time and Capacity to
successfully.
a. Development requires learning and making
trade-offs which necessitates flexibility in one
constraint.
2. Lean and Agile development methodologies leave
Scope flexible.
3. Agile and Lean need a target state to guide
development, and constant measurement to ensure
progress towards the goal without artificially fixing
Scope.
4. Ensuring Value is primarily driven by connecting the
Sprint/Scrum process to the business.
Constraining all three pillars means you constrain learning
and the ability to profit on that learning

Case Study : B2C - Connecting service providers
and consumers
● A mobile app - iOS and Android - Flutter based
● Web App to manage administration activities.
● App backend : AWS serverless lambda. When
there is no request to serve, lambda functions
will shut down automatically – which saves the
cost
● Lambda functions can also scale on-demand.
● Consultants can create their proﬁle and user
can view the consultant proﬁle using the
platform to book an appointment.
● Application is integrated with the payment
gateway Razorpay to handle all the commercial
transactions.

Case Study : Capital Market - migration and
modernization for their Financial Services
Application
● Containerizing the customer application
using AWS ECS Fargate
● Setting up Operations/Monitoring dashboard
on datadog.
● Help in migrating private GitLab to public
SaaS GitHub.
● Automating the deployment of environments
for the application with the implementation
of ASG to achieve scalability and high
reliability.
● Creating high level infrastructure of AWS
services using Terraform.

Case Study : RecruitTech - Secure & High
Available Recruitment Platform
1. AAIC proposed them a new architecture which
suggested to use ECS Fargate with Autoscaling &
SPOT instead of ECS NodeGroups to save the
cost as well as to scale automatically.
2. Also, Cutshort wasn’t using any
Infrastructure-as-a-Code (IaaC) tool so we
introduced them with terraform and how it can
help them to spin up a new solution
infrastructure in few minutes.
3. Told them about AWS savings plan and how it
can beneﬁt on the overall cost
4. Help them to setup the AWS organization for
consolidated billing.
5. Integrated their G-Suite with AWS Single-Sign-On
to manage access centrally across their AWS
Organization

Consolidated Billing SSO Scalable Cost Optimized Secure

Case Study : Sales AI - Update AWS RDS major
version with zero downtime
High level approach was:
1. Create an AWS RDS Cluster with the required version and copy the data from existing RDS Cluster to this
new Cluster
2. Setup AWS DMS(Data Migration Service) between these two clusters
3. Once the replication is done and is ongoing then switch the application to point to the new DB. In our case
the micro-services running in AWS Fargate has to upgraded with the new end point and it took care of
draining the old and using the new.

Engagement Model & Commercials

info@appliedaiconsulting.com | www.appliedaiconsulting.com
Engagement Models
1. Resource Augmentation [Full or Fractional] - Where AAIC certified
associates get involved with customer’s larger scrum team and deliver as
per the execution plan sprint over sprint.
2. Managed Services - Where AAIC certified associates work with
Customer’s larger scrum team but still own the end to end piece of delivery.
This is where AAIC brings in SMEs for every small aspect of work rather
than giving one resource who may not know all aspects of the deliverable.
3. Outsourced Projects - where AAIC Team owns the complete delivery and
via incremental milestones and demoes gives the visibility of the progress
to customer. AAIC puts the best resources to deliver the project on
committed timeline and budget.
