Infrastructure as Code & CI/CD

Cloud and DevOps enablement — CI/CD implementation, infrastructure as code, observability, and release strategies for faster, safer deployments.

Release cycles that take weeks, environments that behave differently from production, and incidents that are hard to diagnose — these are symptoms of missing platform foundations. Cloud and DevOps enablement addresses them with repeatable delivery pipelines, infrastructure as code and observability that operations teams can rely on.

Archanis is located in the United Kingdom and delivers internationally — combining remote collaboration with on-site engagements where required. We often pair this work with Legacy System Modernisation and Application Support so modernised platforms stay fast, observable and well-maintained long after go-live.

Capabilities

We implement the platform foundations that make delivery repeatable and operations predictable.

DevOps foundations

CI/CD pipelines with quality gates
Infrastructure as Code and environment parity
Release strategies (blue/green, canary)
Secrets management and secure delivery

Operations & resilience

Logging, metrics, tracing and dashboards
Alerting and incident runbooks
Performance and capacity baselines
Backup, recovery and disaster readiness

We build for supportability: operational ownership, visibility, and safe change.

Outcomes

DevOps is a business capability — measured by speed, reliability and risk reduction.

Delivery improvements

Shorter lead time from change to production
More frequent, smaller releases
Automated checks reduce release risk
Reliable rollbacks and safer deployments

Operational improvements

Reduced incidents and faster recovery
Clear “what happened” visibility
Lower toil with automation
Predictable capacity and scaling

Often paired with modernisation or new builds to ensure the platform supports long-term growth.

Frequently asked questions

What is cloud and DevOps enablement?

Cloud and DevOps enablement establishes the platform foundations for reliable software delivery — CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, environment consistency, observability, and release strategies — so teams can ship changes faster with lower risk and clearer operational visibility.

How long does a DevOps transformation take?

A focused CI/CD and observability foundation can be established in weeks for a single application or team. Broader platform enablement across multiple services typically runs over several months in phased increments, with measurable improvements at each milestone.

What is infrastructure as code?

Infrastructure as code (IaC) defines servers, networks, and cloud resources in version-controlled templates — so environments are reproducible, auditable, and consistent from development through production. We implement IaC as part of CI/CD implementation and platform enablement on client projects.

Do you provide CI/CD implementation?

Yes. We design and implement CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, quality gates, artefact promotion, and rollback strategies — typically starting with one application or team and expanding in phased increments. See our CI/CD maturity roadmap for typical milestones.

Which cloud platforms do you support?

We work across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, as well as hybrid and on-premise environments with Kubernetes, Docker and traditional infrastructure. Tooling choices depend on your existing estate, compliance requirements and team skills.

Where do you deliver cloud and DevOps services?

We are located in the United Kingdom and deliver internationally via remote collaboration and on-site engagements where required.

Want safer deployments and clearer operations?

We’ll assess your current delivery pipeline and recommend a phased plan to improve speed and reliability.
