DevOps Enablement

DevOps Enablement – NorthBay Solutions

NorthBay’s DevOps practice enables the next generation of software delivery. We help our customer by shifting from legacy silo-based approaches heavily reliant on error-prone manual work that relies heavily on rigid processes and tribal knowledge to an approach that maximizes speed to market and quality of software delivery with a customer-first mindset, while increasing the collaboration of your teams.

Why Organizations choose Northbay for Devops Enablement

NorthBay’s decade of AWS experience has enabled us to create real-world DevOps methodologies and best practices that we share with our clients to help improve their process and accelerate their success beyond the initial engagement.

We help organizations in transition from waterfall based, long monolithic application development cycles to much shorter, iterative microservices based releases as illustrated below.

In this process, both development as well as operations teams now share their responsibilities as cross-functional team experts, the entire team is responsible for delivering both new features and stability.

DevOps teams benefit from automation and product environment standardization, making deployments predictable and relieving your highly skilled team members from routine repetitive tasks. Being an AWS Devops Consultant, NorthBay can help your teams establish the necessary environment and practices while also providing guidance and training to your team members on Best Practices.

Services and offerings

Velocity and Rapid Delivery

Move at high velocity so you can innovate for customers faster, adapt to changing markets better, and grow more efficient at driving business results. Increase the frequency and pace of releases so you can innovate and improve your product faster by deploying CI/CD pipelines.

Reliability and Security

Ensure the quality of application updates and infrastructure changes so you can reliably deliver at a more rapid pace while maintaining a positive experience for end-users. Adopt DevOps without sacrificing security by using automated compliance policies, fine-grained controls (e.g. infrastructure as code and policy as code), and configuration management techniques to define and then track compliance at scale.

Scale and Collaboration

Operate and manage your infrastructure and development processes at scale. Automation and consistency help you manage complex or changing systems efficiently and with reduced risk. Build more effective teams under a DevOps cultural model, which emphasizes values such as ownership and accountability. Developers and operations teams collaborate closely, share many responsibilities, and combine their workflows, reducing inefficiencies and save time.

Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)

Continuous integration and continuous delivery is a software development practice where developers merge code changes into a central repository, and are automatically built, tested, and prepared for a release to production. This decreases the time to market and supports quick adaptations to changing business conditions while increasing consistency of releases and allowing quick rollbacks when needed.

Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as code is a practice in which infrastructure is provisioned and managed using code and software development techniques, such as version control and continuous integration. This removes overhead associated with managing physical infrastructure and provides consistency and repeatability in the setup, reducing the chances of any incompatibility issues with infrastructure and helping applications run smoothly. Automation of infrastructure also helps increase productivity and save on compute costs by easily tearing down environments when not in use.

Configuration Management

Developers and system administrators work together using code to automate operating system and host configuration, operational tasks, etc. making configuration changes repeatable and standardized.
