DevOps and Automation

Summary

Whether cloud-native or on-premise, TEKTowr has been instrumental in bringing DevOps culture, process and technology into high-security environments - replacing decades-old legacy systems and manual deployments. Our people have worked in government and critical national infrastructure, where non-stop, mission critical apps demand provable resilience by design. Successful DevOps transformation starts with ensuring the good culture, practices and behaviour are adopted as the norms at all levels of the organisation - from C-Level all the way to the new graduate starter. Our discovery workshops ensure alignment around the selected automation solutions deployed, and we often spot pockets where the people’s own initiative is already following the modern norms, but operate in spite of governance, not because of it. This is called “guerilla IT” and can cause significant waste. Through our cultural transformation process, we are able to find these guerilla projects and develop a common approach aligned to the corporate risk appetite. Having previously managed teams of over 150-engineers, we have significant experience recruiting and managing your Dev teams as well as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 support lines for the IT Operations teams, and we can tailor our support to fit with your supply chain.

“Let guerilla IT be the sign but not the solution….”

Our Enterprise Architects and DevOps engineers who can design and implement the end-to-end solution including network, storage, virtualization, compute power, audit / logging, etc. We are experienced in both canary and red-green deployments - both on-premise or cloud deployments (e.g. AWS, GCP or Azure). Our preference is to use Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) techniques with application virtualization (i.e. containers, Docker, containerd, Kubernetes), but we’re also experienced with both level 1 and level 2 hypervisor technologies including VMWare ESXi, HyperV, Citrix and others. Similarly, we’re agnostic on repositories and deployment pipelines - we have signifcant experience in Git (including GitOps), GitHub, GitLab, SVN, Mercurial and Bitbucket and also modern asset factories such as jFrog Artifactory.
