"With env0 we can streamline our 
deployments easily.
We can now maintain a large number of projects, and env0 ensures that the process is scalable, especially when we have to deal with multiple cloud accounts."
- Reducing the time and complexity of setting up new environments
- Using env0 IaC automation and scheduling features
- Leveraging env0 as an SSoT for all IaC management
- Easily provisioning, managing and viewing resources
- Deployments take less than 10 minutes
- Pre-set expiration dates minimize cloud sprawl
- Governance streamlines processes and reduces manual errors
- Automted access managment enchances security
Background
Virgin Media O2 is an industry-leading UK-based telecommunications company that provides telephone, television, mobile and broadband services. With many pioneering endeavors under its belt and a focus on digital experiences, Virgin Media is committed to growth, innovation, and exceptional customer service.
The Challenge
Virgin Media O2’s Digital Security Team uses Google Cloud Platform to deploy and manage multiple proof of concept (POC) environments that they use to test new architectures, applications, and capabilities for their growing company. Traditionally, these environments were set up using a variety of tools, sometimes taking hours to complete.
The Solution
Moving IaC automation and execution to env0 was an easy decision for Virgin Media O2. The env0 capabilities allowed them to control their biggest challenges—all under one umbrella—while giving teams increased flexibility and control over what they need to do in order to accomplish their end goal.
The Impact
Introducing the new process has generated excitement among internal teams, due to the following benefits that env0 has driven:
Deployment‍ in under 10 minutes
A deployment traditionally took hours to stand up. With the complexities involved around ensuring runners were configured properly, to the copy and pasting of keys, and configuration of NAT and peering, it could take up to half a day to set up a single POC deployment. Now, with a simple click and as few as five variables, a proof of concept can be created in less than 10 minutes.
Scheduling and cost control
By using env0, deployments are no longer abandoned and left in unknown states after they are required. Deployments are set to expire and if a new one is needed, it can be created within minutes, ensuring the requirements are up to date, not to mention the cost savings associated with controlling cloud sprawl.
Streamlined processes and enhanced security
Prior to env0, Virgin Media O2 teams first started defining their project in GitLab. After the project was defined, they needed to create credentials and inject them, often leaving them susceptible to a security breach, depending on where those credentials ended up.
By managing this with env0, the entire process is now automated, and steps previously missed, forgotten, or improperly completed, are now controlled by env0.
