Cloud CD/CI Automation

GitOps to integrate request fulfilment, provisioning, configuration, deployment, and security operations.

November 1, 2022

Establishing Automation and Continuous Delivery/Integration into your Platform delivery is key to creating agility, efficiency and scale in your platform delivery. When you need to get control of your platforms, the expenditure and reduce the service overhead, "Infrastructure as Code" provides the means to get configuration control, compliance, and provide assurance. CD/CI enables you to join up your platform delivery with your application creation, integrated into your service management. It enables you to quickly build, deploy and change services, globally, while at the same time giving your technical delivery the ability to see, amend or extend those platform services as required. With CD/CI pipelines, automation becomes an integrated part of the delivery. Billing, Service Quality, Monitoring and Security become easier. Our CD/CI Automation service integrates your designs, to your infrastructure deployment with standard patterns.

At the heart we provide the services to integrate your configurations ( GitOps with GitHub or GitLab, for example ), with your application and service patterns ( DevOps with Terraform or similar ) to deploy services automatically. Tailoring and Compliance through Infrastructure-as-Code provides hardening and confirmation that services are set, and maintains those controls ( DevSecOps - Chef Infrastructure and Inspec ). Integrated into your Service Desk to provide self-service to projects and operations teams, and joined to your Network Operations to provide monitoring and service quality. With deployment, our service provides the automated integration into the Security solution, providing visibility, early warning and remediation in the event of an issue ( SecOps ).

CD/CI Automation is integral to meeting compliance and assurance in your delivery ( eg ISO27000 ).

We align and deliver to the CIS standards, augmented with industry and local needs ( like PCIHSS, HIPAA etc ). We work with the latest key products and platforms; Gitlab, Jenkins or Azure DevOps to provide the automation, Terraform to provision, Ansible, Chef and Puppet to configure. Project control and management is integrated into Azure Boards, Jira or your preferred tooling.

And because we are a secure, specialist provider, our service can use either public, private or a hybrid approach (to meet your risk appetite and data needs).
