DevOps Consulting

DevOps Consulting Services

DevOps is a methodology designed to align development and operation teams to deliver high-quality software faster. In DevOps since 2013, Vantage Point offers end-to-end DevOps consulting services to help you achieve the increased frequency and reliability of software releases.

Is It Time to Turn to DevOps Consulting?

DevOps consulting may be the answer if you feel concerned about:

⨉ Differences in the configurations of development, testing and production environments
⨉ The slow manual process of providing new IT infrastructure.
⨉ Time-consuming infrastructure modifications, software updates and bug fixing.
⨉ The lack of collaboration between the teams (development, testing, system administration, and security) resulting in a slow software delivery and low software quality.
⨉ Post-release errors affecting user or customer experience or business operations.
⨉ A slow and inefficient testing process due to insufficient test automation.

Sample End-To-End DevOps Implementation Scenario

What We Do:

◆ Analyze the current software development cycle, available IT resources, and your IT infrastructure.

◆ Map business expectations, identify IT capabilities and constraints.

◆ Devise DevOps implementation strategy.

What We Do:

◆ Design the containerization approach (based on Kubernetes or Apache Mesos).

◆ Design the CI/CD approach, define and configure CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GoCD).

◆ Advise on the test automation approach (usually based on Selenium and Appium) and integration of continuous testing into the CI/CD pipeline.

◆ Design integration of IaaC and configuration management tools (Ansible, Chef, and Puppet) with CI/CD tools (GoCD, Jenkins, Bamboo).

◆ Design an automated monitoring solution (based on Zabbix or Nagios).

◆ Locate DevOps-specific challenges (e.g., the lack of necessary competencies, legacy applications difficult to containerize) and elaborate on their solutions.n of continuous testing into the CI/CD pipeline.

What We Do:

◆ Upskill your IT system administrators, project managers, program managers, delivery managers, developers, software test engineers, and other DevOps practitioners in the required DevOps tools and processes.
