Secure and Operate

DevOps and Infrastructure as Code

An environment that exists only as a series of clicks in a portal cannot be reviewed, rebuilt or trusted. Defining it in code means it can be read, versioned, tested and recreated exactly — including after something goes badly wrong.

What this includes

  • Infrastructure as code

    Your environment expressed in Terraform or Bicep, so it can be reviewed like any other change and rebuilt from scratch.

  • CI/CD pipelines

    Automated build, test and release, so a change reaches production the same way every time regardless of who ships it.

  • Environment management

    Development, test and production environments that genuinely match each other, so a passing test means something.

  • Release safety and rollback

    Staged releases with health checks and a documented, rehearsed path back.

  • Configuration and secrets management

    Credentials and keys held in a managed vault instead of in a config file, a spreadsheet or a chat message.

  • Monitoring and alerting as code

    Dashboards and alert rules deployed alongside the environment rather than clicked together afterwards.

  • Domain, DNS and certificates

    Domains registered or delegated, DNS records set, one hostname made canonical, and TLS certificates issued and renewed without anybody remembering to.

Not sure which of these you need?

Most organizations are not, at the start. Describe what is not working today and we will tell you which of these areas it actually falls into — including when the answer is that you do not need us.
