What is DevOps Outsourcing?
DevOps Outsourcing offers a convenient approach to enabling DevOps in a software development project, without the need to recruit a permanent DevOps engineer.
Modern software applications run on scalable cloud infrastructures such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Azure. These public clouds offer infrastructure as code, giving the ability for developers to define infrastructure programmatically. The mission of DevOps Engineers is to define, manage and maintain application infrastructure while automating deployment, monitoring, alerting, and event handling.
Our DevOps engineers add a very valuable skill set to any software development team. They contribute to automating a number of process from the Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) setup and the management of development, testing and production environments. They also participate in the application security by configuring advanced security features in the infrastructure.
In short, DevOps Outsourcing allows to accelerate software development by bringing offshore DevOps engineers into the projet.
