We provide technical consulting and implementation of DevOps and Systems Administration. We can help re-architect your systems environment to be as efficient as possible.
Infrastructure as Code/Configration Management
DevOps Configuration Management products
We typically work with these and offer development of a brand new setup, can work with your existing setup, and provide ongoing maintenance on):
We work with a wide range of tools; these are just examples of what we typically recommend for on-prem or non-docker based systems.
Containers
Docker- We support container building, uploading to cloud services, local Docker installations, and migrating on-prem/non-containerized applications into containers.
Migrating from non-containerized applications into Docker requires re-architecting how things are run; standard containers run a single application inside them, that’s it – so workloads that typically had a few services running on a single system need to be redesigned to split this workload into multiple containers.
Containers are excellent as they are very minimal, and once image creation is a part of your CI/CD pipeline (we can help set that up too), you can be deploying new containers constantly with each application update. This provides you full version control of the container, and if a new version has issues in testing, you can easily re-deploy a previous container image and get back to a working state.
