Overview​

Mainely Innovations delivers a modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solution using Terraform to enable consistent, compliant, and automated deployment of AVEVA PI System resources across AWS and Azure. Our approach empowers organizations to manage servers, databases, security rules, load balancers, SSL certificates, and more—using declarative configuration files for repeatable and reliable results.

By leveraging Terraform’s modular and extensible architecture, we help clients define, provision, and scale complex PI System infrastructures with ease, ensuring that deployments are standardized and compliant with organizational and regulatory requirements.

Advantages​

  • Consistency: Uniform, reliable deployments across AWS and Azure.
  • Compliance: Enforce organizational policies and regulatory standards automatically.
  • Scalability: Easily scale infrastructure as PI System needs grow.
  • Efficiency: Automate resource provisioning for faster, error-free deployments.
  • Simplicity: Straightforward configuration files make resource definition and replication easy.

Goals​

  • Ensure consistent and compliant infrastructure deployments for PI Systems in the cloud.
  • Eliminate manual inconsistencies and reduce operational risk.
  • Enable rapid, repeatable provisioning and scaling of resources.

Challenges​

  • Each cloud environment (AWS, Azure) presents unique requirements and constraints for PI System deployments.
  • Maintaining compliance and standardization across multiple environments can be complex.
  • Our Terraform-based solution addresses these challenges by providing a unified, adaptable approach to resource provisioning, streamlining deployment and ensuring reliability.
