Our agile DevOps service teams
DevOps services help to meet the requirements that agile development methods place on the operation of IT infrastructures. Continuous delivery and continuous deployment have become the standard for cloud applications and large e-commerce platforms in recent years. Instead of carrying out manual updates, patches, and changes with long lead times, modern software development aims to continuously and automatically install new releases and small improvements without downtime. This requires completely automatable IT infrastructures that can be fully controlled via API. Your partner for such state-of-the-art solutions is noris network.
Bridge between Development and Operations: DevOps Service
With our DevOps service teams, we support your agile software development and build a bridge to the operation of your IT infrastructures in our data centres. Together with your internal and external developers, our DevOps service teams optimize and automate the deployment pipeline from unit testing and integration testing through to deployment. Tools ensure that your developers capture our IT infrastructures and resources as code (infrastructure as code). This allows all processes and configurations to be transparently recorded and tested via version control.
Use our DevOps services and benefit from both: agile development on your premises and stable IT operations in a noris network data centre. The integration of DevOps services can lead to better automation of your IT infrastructure and enable you to work more efficiently.
DevOps Service – for whom?
Our range of DevOps services is aimed at all companies that are increasingly using agile development methods. This is often a management wish list with the aim of achieving more automation. The use of DevOps service teams as a bridge between software development and infrastructure operation in our data centres ensures that the competitive advantages of agile development methods are not destroyed by delays in operation, declining availability or reduced system stability.
Our DevOps service delivers:
- Support for companies that are increasingly switching their software development to agile methods and want to utilize the benefits of automated deployment
- Support for start-ups (e.g. cloud or e-commerce platforms) that want to optimize their software for scalable IaaS concepts and continuous delivery right from the start
- Communication between internal/external development teams and those responsible for IT operations
- Consultancy for noris network customers who want to see key operational aspects taken into account in the early design phase of their software
- The operation of development, test, and production environments for agile software development
- Introduction and operation of the tool landscape for DevOps approaches (Infrastructure as Code etc.)
Our DevOps service teams are part of your development
Whether software can be operated in a stable, efficient and scalable manner is already decided in the design phase. That’s why our DevOps service experts work in your internal and/or external development teams – on site, in early development phases, in regular meetings and whenever their expertise is required. The result: silo thinking is overcome, development and operations begin to communicate and cooperate, understanding is built up.
The deployment processes are coordinated and optimised jointly and holistically – from the initial idea, through unit and integration tests, to deployment in the production environment. In order to stabilise and optimise this process, our DevOps service experts build a powerful tool chain for automation and continuous delivery in coordination with development and operations. These deployment processes are monitored using appropriate monitoring tools and are constantly adapted and optimised to meet new requirements.
Consistent tool chains for continuous deployment
In coordination with your development teams and IT operations, our DevOps service teams set up end-to-end tool chains. A decisive advantage here is that many of these open source tools are already known and used by your development teams.
Here are some examples of important DevOps tools:
- “Foreman” for automated provisioning
- “Puppet” for the Infrastructure as Code representation and the transfer of system and configuration data to version control
- “Thoughtworks go” and “Jenkins” for easy control of the deployment pipeline
