Open Innovation Platform by Virtusa

Microsoft Azure Services Utilized Containerization & Compute: Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) hosts the cloud-native Open Innovation Platform (OIP) and containerized workloads, while Azure Container Registry (ACR) securely stores and manages OIP container images. Networking & Security: Azure Application Gateway, DNS & Web Application Firewall (WAF) manage secure application routing, traffic, and web protection. Microsoft Entra ID provides enterprise identity, authentication, and role-based access control (RBAC), and Azure Key Vault secures application secrets, keys, and certificates. Data & API Management: Azure Database for MySQL delivers a fully managed database layer, while Azure Blob/File Storage handles platform storage and data management. Azure API Management enables seamless API publishing, management, and developer portal access. Monitoring & Infrastructure as Code: Log Analytics & Application Insights supply continuous operational logging, telemetry, and monitoring. Terraform & ARM Templates automate infrastructure provisioning and operational deployment.

Professional Services Activities Architecture & Provisioning: Defining target Azure architecture and deployment patterns, followed by hands-on provisioning of networking, security, and underlying platform infrastructure. OIP Deployment & Customization: Deploying OIP components onto Azure and delivering platform-tailored UX changes, custom landing pages, branding, and platform-specific enhancements. Integration & Synthetic Data: Integrating OIP with customer identity platforms, existing APIs, and internal/third-party systems, while setting up synthetic data environments for secure experimentation. Automation, Testing & Training: Establishing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) CI/CD automation pipelines, executing end-to-end integration and security testing, and delivering hands-on Developer Days, bootcamps, hackathons, and end-user enablement workshops.
