Enable Self-Service Infrastructure & Deployment Pipelines

This standard mandates enabling self-service infrastructure and deployment pipelines to reduce operational dependencies on external teams.

1. Enable Self-Service Infrastructure & Deployment Pipelines:

Reduce operational dependencies on external teams. This approach ensures that teams can manage their infrastructure and deployments independently.

• 1.1 Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Tools:
  • 1.1.1 On-Demand Environment Management:
    • Provide teams with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools to manage environments on-demand.
    • Automate the deployment of IaC tools.
  • 1.1.2 Tool Management:
    • Automate the tracking of IaC tool usage.
    • Implement tool tutorials.
• 1.2 Automated CI/CD Pipelines:
  • 1.2.1 Independent Deployment:
    • Implement fully automated CI/CD pipelines so teams can deploy independently.
    • Automate the configuration of CI/CD pipelines.
  • 1.2.2 Pipeline Management:
    • Automate the tracking of CI/CD pipeline deployments.
    • Implement pipeline feedback collection.
• 1.3 Standardised Infrastructure Templates:
  • 1.3.1 Consistency and Security:
    • Standardise infrastructure templates and configurations to ensure consistency and security.
    • Automate the generation of infrastructure templates.
  • 1.3.2 Template Management:
    • Automate the tracking of template usage.
    • Implement template tutorials.

By enabling self-service infrastructure, organisations can reduce operational dependencies.
