Devops and Automation Solutions
DevOps is a culture and methodology supported by different tools that combines software development and IT operations. It is intended to streamline and improve agility in the delivery of quality applications and improve collaboration between software development and operations teams. It involves a recurring cycle of Planning, Developing and Building, Testing, Releasing, Deploying, Operating, and Monitoring application delivery. DevOps is not a single tool but is a collection of tools that help at each stage of the cycle. Here at AZ Technology Solutions, we work with organisations build, mature and operate this culture.
Infrastructure as Code
​
As an organisation that provides services heavily in the Cloud and Infrastructure IT domains, we are always looking at ways to streamline infrastructure deployment and management. This helps us provide our customers with Modern, Simple and Cost-effective solutions. With Cloud and DevOps culture becoming more prominent across organisations, the way Infrastructure (Cloud and Datacentre) has been deployed and managed has begun to shift towards a code based method known as Infrastructure as Code. The benefits of this have been extensive by providing automation, reducing error, improving scalability, disaster recovery, security and others. However, implementation of Infrastructure as Code has not come without it's challenges. Traditional Systems Engineers and System Administrators have had to adapt to this with little to no prior coding experience.
​
At AZ Technology Solutions, we have taken this challenge head on. Our experts have been working with Infrastructure as Code since it's adoption in the industry. We have experts skilled in the industry common Microsoft ARM and Bicep for Azure and Hashicorp Terraform infrastructure code technologies. We not only provide the coding expertise but we have also developed and maintained in house Infrastructure code that streamline Microsoft Azure deployments and require very little to no coding experience. ​​
Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment
​
Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery and Deployment or commonly referred to as CI/CD is the practice of enabling developers to continuously integrate application code and continuously test, deliver and deploy applications to your organisation's users and customers. While DevOps is not a single tool, enabling the CI/CD practice is generally performed using a centralised or a set of centralised tools.
​
Here at AZ Technology Solutions, we work with various industry leading tools to implement CI/CD that include Azure DevOps, GitHub, Jenkins and others. We help organisations establish a reusable CI/CD infrastructure that establishes the organisation's DevOps foundations.
​
Using these tools we also help organisations in not only establishing the tools but also establishing the CI/CD processes through pipeline and workflow development and ensuring optimal use of the platform within the guardrails of IT.
Platform and IT Process Automation
​
When it comes to automation, we have a passion for it. To see a task automated once is not very beneficial, but to see it automated over and over is exciting. Whether it be to produce a bespoke report, automate a repetitive task, simplify a task, secure an environment or anything else, we are up to the challenge. Our automation experts have experience with many common scripting languages and process automation platforms. We believe that no automation task is too big or too small. If there is value in the automation, we either have it or we develop it.
