Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because build and deploy has a clear owner |
| Productivity | Handoffs in continuous delivery sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Consul is the governed place engineering teams use for continuous delivery |
Story
Utilities work at PPL spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Build and deploy was splitting across regional habits. Engineering teams asked for a shared way to run continuous delivery without freezing local judgment.
HashiCorp (Consul) is what they standardized on. HashiCorp (an IBM company) provides infrastructure automation software, including Terraform and Vault, for cloud provisioning and secrets. PPL uses it as the system of record for build and deploy, with engineering teams as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
