PFE: Building a Governed Multi

Organizations increasingly rely on complex solution environments for development, testing, training, and customer demonstrations. However, creating and managing these environments is often slow, manual, and inconsistent, leading to wasted resources, configuration drift, and compliance risks. There is a lack of a unified, automated platform that can provision, govern, monitor, and retire such environments efficiently while maintaining security and cost control. This project seeks to solve this problem by designing a cloud -native platform that automates the entire lifecycle of solution environments using modern DevOps, IaC, and GitOps principles.
<\/div>

Methodology for Solution
<\/h4>

1. Requirements and Architecture: Define goals, personas, and governance needs. Design scalable, cloud -native architecture using Kubernetes, IaC, and GitOps principles.
   <\/span><\/li>
2. Infrastructure and Automation: Provision infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible. Configure networking, TLS, storage, and observability for automated environment management.
   <\/span><\/li>
3. Security and Governance: Implement RBAC, OPA, and Vault. Integrate IGA workflows for approvals, recertifications, and policy enforcement.
   <\/span><\/li>
4. Platform and API Development: Develop portal and APIs for environment creation, lifecycle control, and collaboration using React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL.
   <\/span><\/li>
5. GitOps and Delivery: Adopt Git as truth. Configure Argo CD for declarative deployment, automated synchronization, and versioned environment changes.
   <\/span><\/li>
6. Lifecycle and Blueprints: Automate create, pause, snapshot, and delete. Package reusable blueprints with Helm for standardized solution stack deployment.
   <\/span><\/li>
7. Observability and Resilience: Deploy Prometheus, Grafana, and Velero for monitoring, alerts, backups, and recovery within defined RTO/RPO targets.
   <\/span><\/li>
8. Testing and Documentation: Run CI/CD tests for quality, performance, and security. Produce detailed technical documentation and operational runbooks.
