Empowering Sony: OriginsAI’s Site Reliability Expertise
OriginsAI partnered with Sony in Japan to bolster their digital infrastructure and optimize operational efficiency. Recognizing the need for scalable and secure cloud solutions, we delivered Site Reliability Services, meticulously crafting an internal design document for EKS testing, scalability, and policy management. We implemented rigorous compliance testing using Kube-Bench and Terratest, ensuring adherence to industry standards. By integrating global Kubernetes policy management through Kyverno, we created a unified and streamlined approach for policy enforcement across Sony’s distributed infrastructure.
