CI/CD Delivery for Cloud Services

CI/CD Delivery for Cloud Services streamlines and optimises delivery through modern continuous integration practices. Tailored for secure public and private sectors, it ensures rapid scalability and consistent deployment. We bridge the gap between requirements and production via automated, test-based delivery architecture, connecting every change to quality gates.

Service Detail

Delivery Approach and Implementation

We implement continuous integration and continuous delivery with highly automated build, test, and release workflows. By embedding GitOps into the development lifecycle, we ensure that Git repositories remain the absolute source of truth for both development and operations. Our engineers design and maintain the delivery architecture, configuring essential tooling and integrations—including Jira, Azure DevOps, and Confluence—alongside CI/CD platforms like GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Travis CI. This methodology supports faster, safer releases and reduces errors through automation, providing enhanced visibility across the entire lifecycle for both public and private cloud environments. deployments are made consistent and repeatable through integrated quality gates, environment promotion strategies, and Test-Driven Development (TDD).

Operating Model and Structured Transition

We deliver services as a repeatable, secure operating model defined by clear governance, lightweight ways of working, and measurable outcomes. Work is planned in short, focused iterations, prioritised against your delivery roadmap, and designed to be handed over cleanly into Business as Usual (BAU). Our engagement begins with a structured onboarding phase to confirm scope, environments, access, security constraints, and change windows. During this transition, we produce core run artefacts—such as service catalogue entries, runbooks, dashboards, and escalation paths—while agreeing on long-term handover and backlog ownership.

Service Management and Security Integration

Where ongoing support is required, we align to ITIL-style practices for incident, problem, and change management. You receive clear triage, escalation, and regular service reporting, ensuring that releases, patches, and configuration changes are controlled and auditable. Security is embedded directly in the delivery process through least privilege access, auditable pipelines, and policy-as-code controls. We map these controls to the frameworks you work within—such as Cyber Essentials, NIST, or CIS—and produce evidence that can be reused for your internal assurance and governance needs.

Data Handling, Auditability, and Portability

Pipelines are built with total traceability in mind, featuring immutable artefacts and change records linked directly to tickets to support regulated delivery at speed. We strictly protect data in transit and at rest, following your specific retention rules while ensuring you retain full ownership of all data. Our designs prioritise portability by using automation and documented configurations. By providing exportable artefacts, we ensure you can migrate, re-host, or exit without encountering vendor lock-in, maintaining operational flexibility throughout the platform's lifecycle.
