DevOps Services: A Comprehensive Outsourcing Guide
What are DevOps Services?
DevOps services refer to a set of practices, tools, and cultural philosophies aimed at automating and integrating the processes between software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). The primary goal is to shorten the software development lifecycle while delivering features, fixes, and updates more frequently and reliably.
Key Aspects of DevOps Services:
- Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD): Automates the process of integrating code changes into a shared repository and deploying them to production, ensuring quick feedback loops and faster releases.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Manages infrastructure through code rather than manual processes, allowing for more consistent and scalable deployments.
- Automation: Focuses on automating repetitive tasks such as testing, integration, and deployment to increase efficiency and reduce errors.
- Monitoring and Logging: Provides real-time insights into system performance, enabling teams to identify and resolve issues proactively.
- Collaboration and Communication: Promotes collaboration between development, operations, and other teams to ensure faster problem-solving and decision-making.
- Security Integration (DevSecOps): Embeds security practices within the DevOps workflow to ensure secure code delivery without slowing down the development process.
DevOps services help businesses improve productivity, maintain high availability of services, and increase innovation by aligning teams, automating processes, and continuously improving software quality.
Benefits of Outsourcing DevOps Services
Outsourcing DevOps services can help organizations access specialized expertise, improve operational efficiency, and reduce costs.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduces overhead costs associated with hiring and training in-house teams.
- Access to Expertise: Leverages specialized skills and knowledge from experienced DevOps professionals.
- Faster Time-to-Market: Streamlines processes, enabling quicker deployment of features and updates.
- Scalability: Allows organizations to scale resources up or down based on project needs without the hassle of hiring full-time staff.
- Focus on Core Business: Frees internal teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine operations.
DevOps Services Offered by Bestarion
Combining with Agile/Scrum, our DevOps solutions help you to make and control your product with higher productivity, higher quality, and more reliable.
DevOps Outsourcing
Often, IT departments of big-size enterprises follow old-school practices while creating software products. Small businesses and startups just can’t afford to have an in-house high-tech workforce. In both cases, we offer a full-cycle outsourced DevOps as a Service suite that promotes development efficiency while reducing resource and time consumption.
IT Infrastructure Management
DevOps works perfectly not only in the development of applications or websites but also in infrastructure management. Whether on-premises or cloud-based, it needs to be taken care of since the enterprise infrastructure can become obsolete quickly and hamstring the company’s operation. The Bestarion DevOps specialists will handle infrastructure optimization and guide you through data migration.
Cloud Architecture
The conservative owners of professional software developed and deployed on-premises are at a tremendous disadvantage compared to the astute entrepreneurs who have utilized Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, etc. We employ cloud-based tools and resources to swiftly create a dynamic cloud-fueled architecture of apps, sites, and other digital products with unlimited scalability potential.
Complete DevOps Automation Services
From design and development to deployment and testing, leverage the beauty of automation across multiple departments and optimize your team’s workflow with DevOps automation services.
Security Integration (DevSecOps)
Traditionally, developers took thought for the security of the solution they were building at the final stages of its creation. DevSecOps practices offer an opposite approach where the seasoned experts of Bestarion integrate security testing at each phase of product development. In this way, they promote cooperation between all stakeholders and ensure the timely delivery of an efficient and secure solution.
End-to-End DevOps CI/CD Services
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment are the core of a DevOps team operation. The vetted professionals of Bestarion will set up and automate this pipeline, which begins with the compilation of the product through a version control system, then deals with its validation against customer requirements, tests the code, delivers the solution to the repository, and finally deploys it to the cloud infrastructure.
