New to DevOps?

DevOps can provide huge benefits for your business, from improved product quality to shorter delivery timelines—all leading to lower overall development costs. But what is it, exactly?

DevOps is a combination of development and operations, underpinned by a philosophy that integrates a set of practices and tools. Its aim is to shorten the systems development lifecycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.

End-to-end DevOps helps organisations promote a collaborative approach. It helps improve efficiency, increases the speed of operations, and enhances software development security, ultimately driving business growth and innovation.

Let our DevOps consulting services guide you

With so many DevOps tools and technologies available on the market, it can be difficult to know where to start. Designing and transitioning to a successful DevOps strategy can be challenging, from navigating changes in culture to introducing new practices and implementing new solutions.

That’s why we provide DevOps consulting services to guide you through these challenges and to secure successful outcomes.

Automation Consultants can help you get the best start on your DevOps journey. We’ve designed our services to help you choose the right tools, provide advice, and support your development and operations teams to adjust to new ways of working.

Building your Pipeline with our DevOps services

Manually building and releasing applications prevents your teams from being truly productive. But what if they only need to focus on development? Our experts can help you implement, optimise and manage continuous integration and deployment within your software development teams using the tools that suit your requirements. This enables you to build, test and launch software automatically, freeing your teams up to do what they do best.

Customer success story

Working with AC at Atos, they successfully deployed a multi-tool DevOps solution that included GitLab for version control and CI/CD pipelines, SonarQube for static source code analysis, JFrog’s Artifactory and Xray products for repository management and binary analysis, and both Jira and Confluence for project management and collaboration. The project was delivered to a high standard as part of a larger program delivery.

The fundamentals of end-to-end DevOps implementation

DevOps is built around a comprehensive set of practices, with some of the most prevalent being infrastructure as code, continuous integration, and container orchestration.

These practices enable DevOps teams to devise strategies that plan for transformation while ensuring secure software delivery and development.

Additionally, leveraging Cloud platforms and Cloud migration can enhance these practices by providing scalable and flexible infrastructure solutions.

IaC

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a fundamental DevOps practice that automates IT infrastructure deployment such as servers, networks, databases, and file systems. Our highly skilled and experienced team is proficient in a variety of IaC tools, including CloudFormation, Ansible and Terraform. As such, we can assist you in selecting the right tool for your specific needs, ensuring efficient and reliable infrastructure management.

CI/CD

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (Continuous Integration/Continuous Development) embody the core values of DevOps: rapid delivery, continuous improvement and a focus on velocity. Our team provides expertise in managing automated operations and enhancing delivery, productivity and security. We can help you implement CI/CD pipelines that streamline your development process, allowing for faster and more reliable software releases.

Container orchestration

Container orchestration automates containers' deployment, scaling, and networking in a standardised and declarative manner. This approach facilitates faster development times, improved scalability, automatic fail-over, and reduced IT costs. Whether you’re using a self-hosted instance of Kubernetes or a Cloud-managed platform such as AWS ECS/EKS, our extensive DevOps and Cloud experience will help you maximise the benefits of your container orchestration platform.

DevOps best practices

We can assist you in aligning your DevOps automation strategy with industry best practices to ensure your processes are as optimised as possible for your teams. In addition, we will help diagnose any challenges in your current toolset.

Our DevOps experts aim to identify areas for improvement in the tools and processes and help you implement real-world solutions to get back on track with your DevOps journey.
