# BFSI Customer Story — 80% faster releases

**Industry:** BFSI
**Cloud:** AWS
**Outcome:** 80% faster releases

## Summary
Containerization rewired the delivery pipeline and the cost base.

## The Challenge
A major Indian bank ran a customer-facing IIS ASP.NET monolith on Windows 2012 Server — a stack that was increasingly difficult to scale, patch, and secure. Every release introduced downtime risk, and every new feature required disproportionate operational effort.Operating costs were climbing because the only path to handle more load was provisioning additional Windows VMs. At the same time, the bank had to maintain strict BFSI security and compliance standards across every change.Leadership needed a way to modernize without rewriting the application, without breaking compliance, and without taking the platform offline for customers.

## The Solution
CloudHedge applied automated containerization to the legacy ASP.NET monolith, packaging it into Docker containers and deploying it onto managed Kubernetes — turning a brittle Windows-bound workload into a portable, orchestrated service.The end-to-end modernization was driven by CHAI Flow, which automated discovery, container build, environment provisioning, and rollout. The same automation enabled rapid replication of production-grade environments for testing, staging, and DR with no manual setup.The bank's existing security controls, identity integrations, and compliance posture were preserved through the migration, so the modernization didn't introduce new audit surface area — it simply replaced the underlying runtime with something modern.

## The Outcome
Deployment timelines collapsed by 80% — the application was modernized and live in roughly one week — while infrastructure costs dropped 45% by distributing services across containers instead of standing up additional virtual machines.The bank also achieved zero downtime during platform upgrades and patching, and gained the ability to provision new environments in minutes rather than hours, giving engineering teams a much faster feedback loop on every change.
