The Challenge
SMS Group needed to implement a scalable, highly available, and cost-efficient cloud application in China using the Alibaba Cloud platform. For that, SMS Group required a solution to set up a secure, compliant, centralized billing and multi-account Alibaba Cloud environment. In addition, as SMS Group organization expands its use cases of Alibaba Cloud services, they required a solution to create new accounts automatically in a scalable and efficient manner.
The Solution
Roopu Cloud set up a Landing Zone in China, creating multiple Alibaba Cloud accounts to ensure separation of business processes. This met SMS Group’s needs, producing a production-ready environment. The cloud application was deployed using a Kubernetes cluster in China, meeting all SMS Group’s requirements for security, availability, scalability, and cost-efficiency. In addition, an automation process was implemented to manage the account creation and bootstrapping in an easy and fast way, so that new accounts are created with defined baselines and governance in place.

By working together, the SMS Group dramatically reduced the time to market in China, with a 4-week project delivery timeline, empowering them to reinvest their time on core business development.
