Cloud Migration Consulting and Strategy for both Cloud to Cloud and On-Prem to Cloud

DevOps, DevSecOps and IaaS

Use Tools such as Ansible, Chef, and Puppet to manage your infrastructure in the same way as you manage your applications

  • Terraform and other Cloud Agnostic tools can be used to create your Virtual Private Clouds, Security Groups, and other configurations
  • Allows you to first automate locally on-premise, and then move those applications to the Cloud
  • Provide Repeatability and Consistency in building out your infrastructure
  • Manage your Configurations and Upgrades in an Automated Fashion and allow you to test them as they progress up the Environment Chain (Dev->Test->PreProd-> Production)
  • Automate everything
  • Auditable and repeatable
  • Delegate the separation of Duties to Jenkins – and use code review processes to make sure that automation tasks are safe and have been successfully run in lower environments correctly first. 
  • Zero Trust is a security concept centered on the belief that organizations should not automatically trust anything inside or outside its perimeters and instead must verify anything and everything trying to connect to its systems before granting access.
  • Assume that all endpoints are available on the Internet and make sure you know who is connecting and what they have access to.
  • Handle various clients including Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
