Cloud Infrastructure Automation
The Cloud is complex, with different types of offerings and various layers of intricacies and vast services. However, migrating to the cloud allows you to reduce your cost, and lets your business scale up to the demand only as you need it. The benefits outweigh the costs, but how do you do it?
This is how we do it.
Why is the Cloud so Complex?
Multiple
Vendors
There are multiple cloud vendors, and multiple technologies competing for your business. We have more than a decade of experience working with on the Cloud and expertise is with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The cost is low and the features grow each year, which makes us confident with AWS.
Different Types
of Solutions
It is difficult to determine what type of cloud solution is right for you. Do you know the difference between IaaS, PaaS, SaaS and DaaS, and which is right for your business’ needs? Let us understand your needs and provide you the right recommendation for what you need, with how to do it!
Automation is
Hardwork
Your cloud infrastructure can get hairy rather quickly, and the solution is to automate it. However, automation requires a lot of expertise and understanding of cloud technologies at a very deep level. Trust in our expertise and we can automate your cloud infrastructure.
Security is
Harder
Now that you deployed your application to the cloud, how do you know it is secure? How do you know it is safe from hackers? Security is harder and continues to grow harder each year as hackers from foreign governments attempt to break security. Allow us to secure your cloud infrastructure.
“Cloud is about how you do computing, not where you do computing.”
— Paul Maritz, VMware CEO
How can I benefit from the Cloud?
Lower
Costs
Cloud Computing provides a pay-as-you-use model for pricing. This means, you only pay for the virtual servers and resources you use for and none that you don’t need. Whether your business is small or large, paying only for the resources you use lowers your overall cost.
Infinite
Scalability
With a pay-as-you-use model, you also get the ability to scale your IT infrastructure as your customers’ demand grow. With methodologies like SecDevOps and Agile Development, we can have your infrastructure scale up and down as demand affects for your products.
Disaster
Recovery
With automation and methodologies on the Cloud like SecDevOps and Agile, we can integrate Disaster Recovery processes into your infrastructure, so if the inevitable happens, your business can still provide value and serve your customers in a seamless way.
Competitve
Edge
Spin up new services, and take down unused services in minutes, if not seconds, as your needs change. This gives you an edge over your competitors who may not be using cloud computing processes and infrastructure.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”
— Charles Darwin
How we manage the Cloud.
SecDevOps.
We manage the cloud infrastructure by following SecDevOps methodologies. This has a few aspects that allow us to build secure, reliable, and testable infrastructure.
Automated Configuration Management.
Traditionally, system administrators would login to a newly bought server and install applications and add-ons, configure the system and applications, lock down access and privileges, and remove any unnecessary tools. In a scalable and dynamic environment like the cloud, this is cumbersome at best, but it quickly becomes unmanageable. We use automation tools to make sure that the infrastructure we are building is reproducible without any human input.
Source Control Management
We manage our infrastructure and application code with Git, which allows for code base management to scale as new developers join the team and leave. Each feature that a developer adds to the repository would traditionally make the code more complicated, but with support for feature branches and environment specific branches in Git, we are able to reliable add and manage changes to the main codebase.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery.
When new code is added to the codebase, we have resources that kick off Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines that test the newly added code changes to ensure that it is tested properly, and uses existing tests to make sure that the new change does not break existing functionality. If the testing all pass, the code is then deployed to a test environment for human users to verify that the changes satisfy the customer’s requirements.

The goal of SecDevOps is to create a culture of security within the development team, ensuring that security is considered at every stage of the development process. This includes integrating security testing and automation into the development workflow, implementing secure coding practices, and collaborating with security teams to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
