Summary

Organizations are increasingly adopting DevSecOps, which integrates security into the DevOps workflow to enhance speed, scalability, and business impact while maintaining security. Tivity Health, a leader in health and fitness solutions, exemplifies this approach by utilizing Pulumi, an infrastructure as code (IaC) platform, to automate and streamline cloud infrastructure management. Tivity Health transitioned from a traditional data center to a cloud-native architecture, embracing security automation to achieve significant improvements in speed, cost savings, and security compliance. Pulumi's support for general programming languages allows developers to manage infrastructure seamlessly, leading to a dramatic 79% reduction in annual cloud spending. This DevSecOps approach has fostered cross-functional collaboration and required a cultural shift within the company, emphasizing proof of concepts and stakeholder buy-in. Looking ahead, Tivity Health is optimistic about leveraging Pulumi's AI-powered capabilities to further enhance their infrastructure management and maintain a competitive edge in deploying new products rapidly.
