Scaled Kubernetes Continuous Delivery with GitOps

Ruckus Networks significantly enhanced its service deployment efficiency and reduced costs by adopting Harness for continuous delivery, leading to an 80% reduction in Kubernetes service onboarding time from one week to the same business day and saving $250,000 in DevOps costs. Transitioning from monolithic virtual machines to a Kubernetes-based microservices architecture, Ruckus faced challenges with the traditional deployment pipelines that were service-specific and lacked reusability. To address this, the company explored options including scripting pipelines manually or building an MVP continuous delivery platform, but ultimately chose Harness for its self-service capabilities and the ability to reuse pipeline templates. This decision not only accelerated the time-to-market by reducing the continuous delivery process from six months to two weeks but also enabled DevOps and developers to manage configurations as code, allowing all pipelines to be version-controlled and easily managed within Git repositories.
