Accelerating Delivery: A Unified Framework for Enterprise CI/CD Standardization

Abstract

Enterprises frequently develop disparate CI/CD pipelines across different teams, resulting in inconsistent practices, quality deficiencies, and governance vulnerabilities. To address these challenges, we present EntDevOps, a standardized DevOps pipeline framework that integrates a centralized template library, policy-as-code checkpoints, and consolidated metrics. Over a six-month period, EntDevOps was deployed within three projects in network services and analytics. Prototype assessment demonstrated the following outcomes:

• 48% reduction in build failures (from 25% to 13%)
• 35% decrease in mean commit-to-deploy time (from 42 minutes to 27 minutes)
• 72% improvement in automated policy compliance rates (from 58% to 100%)
• 22% increase in team satisfaction scores

This report discusses framework architecture, implementation methodology, architectural and workflow diagrams, quantitative evaluation results, and key insights gained. The recommended best practices provide enterprises with a framework to implement consistent, secure, and efficient DevOps processes across the organization.
