CirrusHQ DevOps for AWS

Manual deployments are slow and error-prone, and without infrastructure as code, environments drift apart until nobody can say for certain what is actually running in production.

CirrusHQ builds and operates your AWS deployment capability. We put automated CI/CD pipelines in place using AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild, or GitHub Actions where that fits your existing stack, so releases move through build, test and approval gates with no manual steps and a full audit trail of every change. Every environment is defined as infrastructure as code in Terraform, AWS CDK or CloudFormation, so it can be rebuilt from scratch on demand, with least-privilege IAM baked into every stack from day one. Observability is delivered with Amazon CloudWatch, so your team always knows what changed and why.

You can engage us in two ways: as a build-and-handover project, where we stand up the pipeline and infrastructure and hand it to your team to run, or as ongoing Managed DevOps, where CirrusHQ augments or replaces your DevOps function entirely, with monitoring, patching and alerting against agreed SLAs.

CirrusHQ is an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with 18 years of exclusive AWS focus, holding the AWS MSP, DevOps, Migration and SMB Competencies and the Well-Architected designation, with 100+ AWS certifications, a +93 NPS, and a UK-based 24x7 service desk led by architects certified to AWS Solutions Architect Professional and DevOps Engineer Professional.

The main features we assist with include:

• Deployments to AWS, ensuring correct controls are in-place for critical production workloads
• Creating a deployment pipeline and achieving deployments through automation and Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery
• Ensuring all infrustucture is built as code to ensure repeatable, and reliable builds
• Ensuring Security on roles, environments, and least privilages is held to industry best practice
• Issue tracking, monitoring, patching, and alerts on all aspects of the infrastructure
• Testing capabilities, covering all aspects of deployments, as well as load and performance of workloads
• Automation of all aspects of workload deployment, and governance
• Proactive account reviews and management of all infrastructure
• Incident management against agreed SLAs per workload

We'll ensure that all infrastructure as code is deemed yours and we'll ensure we'll work with code repositories and source control solutions that meet your needs but also are suitable for AWS.

Security and governance on cloud is paramount, and utilising DevOps methodologies ensures that proactive approaches and rigour will be distilled into your key production workloads ensuring the correct controls are in place. Overall we ensure that DevOps will promote graeter efficiences, more robust and reliable infrastuctures for your workloads, and reduce costs. Speak to us to find out more.
