Assessment
DevOps and GitOps Assessment
An assessment of the path from a code change to production: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, GitOps, change control and recovery.
AssessmentScoped individually
Price, length and scope are agreed in writing. We do not guarantee specific outcomes: the findings depend on the information available and on your team's participation.
Who it is for
- Development teams for whom releasing is slow or risky.
- Technical leads introducing GitOps or infrastructure as code.
- Companies that must trace every change.
Problems it addresses
- Deployments need manual steps and one person's knowledge.
- Infrastructure changes outside the code and environments drift apart.
- There is no clear process for approving and rolling back changes.
- Secrets and access in the pipelines are not controlled.
What is needed beforehand
- Read-only access to the repositories, pipelines and infrastructure code.
- A description of the environments and the current release process.
- Recommended: a completed free DevOps maturity assessment.
Format
- Participants
- Developers, the DevOps or platform team and a technical lead.
- Delivery
- Remote or on site; the materials and notes stay with you.
- Length
- A fixed scope agreed in writing beforehand: interviews, a review of documents and configuration, then a written report. Timing depends on the scope and on access.
