Airbus Helicopters describes a live internal platform built on OpenShift using GitLab CI pipelines that run on each push to perform code quality checks, builds, automated tests and full container security scans before deploying to dev, preprod and offering one‑click production. The platform enforces SSO, integrates an APM for monitoring, aims to reduce a 45‑day change cycle across ~450 apps (~800 changes/month) with 250 IT staff, and is being opened to external startups while already running a production pilot.
