Once DevOps strategy is in place, Extremclust DevOps consultants perform the following tasks:
- Extremclust deployment strategy: Containers are used for deployment to achieve software portability across different platforms such as cloud and on-premises environment. This way, the the software function as expected in any platforms such as development, testing, and production environments. Kubernetes container orchestration tool or any other container orchestration tool preferred by your IT manager I employed to simplify the software deployment.
- Extremclust CI/CD solution: Our CI/CD expert in collaboration with our entire DevOps teams review and design a CI/CD approach for your software. We then define and configure the set of CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins and etc) to initiative the the software development pipeline development and automation.
- Extremclust software test automation: Our key testing goal is to automate functional, integration, performance and load testing. To achieve this, Extremclust DevOps test specialist along with the entire DevOps team suggests applying such tools as Selenium, Appium and etc to help accelerate the delivery of software to users and increase its overall test quality.
- Integration of infrastructure as a code (IaaC) and configuration management tools with CI/CD: Our IaaC expert review and integrate the most suitable configuration management tools such as Ansible, Chef, and Puppet with selected CI/CD tools which may include GoCD, Jenkins, Bamboo to ensure seemless and quicker software releases and implementation of infrastructure changes on the fly.
- Application monitoring solution: To ensure the flawless performance of your applications and detect errors quickly, our DevOps consultants can properly plan the configuration of an application performance monitoring tool like Zabbix or Nagios. Thus, your DevOps practitioners will be able to detect post-release bugs before software users encounter them.
- Implementation of developed DevOps plan: Our entire DevOps experts meet to discuss the overall IT environment’s DevOps needs and build a comprehensive plan to implement DevOps across your software lifecycle. We assesses your readiness to adopt DevOps culture. We access your existing code integration and deployment strategies and based on our findings define a suitable way to introduce modern IaaC, CI/CD and automated testing techniques into your software development environment. This will eventually lead to a master production production version of your software hosted both on-premises and in code repository with version control and fully automated for development and operational processes.
- Addressing existing DevOps challenges: Extremclust team will also help your IT team to figure out DevOps-specific challenges which may prevent successful DevOps implementation and we work with your existing team and management to draw up a plan on how to mitigate them.
