Linux Image Management

ClientRetail Pharmacy Chain

Central/regional offices and retail locations require more frequent OS and application release management cycle. A Linux based DevOps framework is employed to enable continuous delivery of pharmacy systems, including OS images, patches and application packages.


Case Study Overview


Initial State

The process of delivering new operating system images and business application releases to central and peripheral pharmacy servers is slow and complex. The business is looking for ways to transition to a more frequent method of provisioning new product features, application bug-fixes and system patches to the target devices.


Target State

A Linux-based DevOps framework is designed, implemented and deployed in production environment. As a result, solution development is transitioned to Continuous Delivery, where IT can respond to the business demand in a timely manner.

Such method is also adopted for IT purposes, where OS images and critical security patches can be quickly assembled, verified and provisioned to any endpoint.
