Abstract: DevOps is an important concept in the world of software development and deployment that aims at marrying development (Dev) with operations (Ops). Its application throughout organizations has yielded great results. Not only has it bypassed the problems of rigid software processes, but it has increased product velocity, thereby increasing customer satisfaction. Operating with DevOps principles leads to high performing technology organizations. Over the years, technology has advanced. Businesses now desire to act at DevOps speed. Inside the realm of enterprise technology, however, several long-standing problems still exist. Dealing with those problems is often a painful uphill battle.
In this paper, we explore DevOps enablement in a legacy insurance enterprise with a multi-decade on-premises primary claim processing infrastructure and address subjects like culture, legacy transition, and individual forms of legacy enablement that allowed a large enterprise to embrace larger transformations while modernizing their infrastructure in a secure, risk-mitigated way. All of this while giving business units, stakeholders to the transformation, the ability to deploy policy or claim changes frequently, thereby providing continual business value. As noted earlier, applying DevOps at the enterprise level has been considered difficult and not something that has been widely practiced. Lessons learned, best practices established, and caveats across several industry verticals of secure DevOps enablement across legacy infrastructure are detailed in this paper. Embracing these practices will provide a seamless but secure DevOps capability for many enterprises running legacy infrastructure inside their firewalls.
