A leading media technology company with decades of experience in film, video, audio, and digital production sought to modernize its development environment. With a focus on innovation and delivering high-quality digital solutions, the organization was looking to adopt cloud technologies to streamline application development and testing.
For this organization, the journey into cloud began with planning the deployment of Ubuntu Virtual Machines and a VPN Gateway, as they were new to cloud technologies. Their goal was to create a secure, scalable environment that would support development and testing, while preparing for a full production rollout.
As part of their current setup, the customer is using Microsoft Dev Box to provide pre-configured, cloud-hosted development environments for their developers. This enables developers to quickly build and test applications without worrying about manual configuration. Azure Storage is being used to store application data securely, while Azure Virtual Machines provide flexible compute resources. Adequate bandwidth has been provisioned to ensure reliable connectivity and smooth operations.
The deployment plan focused on providing a secure and efficient environment that could scale as their operations grew. Virtual machines were configured to support development workloads, while the VPN Gateway established secure connections between on-premises systems and the cloud. Microsoft Dev Box enabled fast onboarding of developers, giving them access to ready-to-use environments, and Azure Storage offered reliable data management. Network resources were also optimized to support future production needs.
With this setup, the organization now has a cloud environment that allows developers to work efficiently in pre-configured virtual machines, ensures secure connectivity, and provides scalable compute and storage resources. The infrastructure is fully prepared to handle full production deployment while maintaining performance and reliability.
