Cloud DevOps
We ship value, safely and often. Cloudain builds a DevOps culture around automation, observability, and shared ownership—so teams release faster with lower risk and clearer feedback loops.

What is Cloud DevOps?
DevOps is a culture and a toolkit. It aligns dev and ops through automation, continuous delivery, and observability, turning ideas into production changes that are frequent, reliable, and reversible.
- Automated pipelines with quality gates
- IaC & GitOps for consistent environments
- Observability & SRE for fast recovery
Tooling we standardize
CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, AWS CodePipeline
GitOps: Argo CD, Flux
IaC: Terraform, CDK, Pulumi
Containers: Docker, EKS/ECS, AKS, GKE, Helm
Observability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch/Cloud Monitoring
Security: SAST/DAST, secret scanning, policy checks (tfsec, Checkov, OPA)
Multi‑cloud pipelines with policy gates and progressive delivery.
How we implement DevOps
A delivery lifecycle that bakes in quality, security, and speed.
Automate (Pipelines)
- Multi‑stage CI/CD with unit/integration/e2e gates
- Canary & blue‑green releases with automated rollback
- Policy checks in CI (security, cost, compliance)
Standardize (IaC/GitOps)
- Terraform modules and golden templates
- GitOps reconciliation (Argo/Flux) for drift control
- Environment parity across dev/stage/prod
Build (Artifacts)
- Immutable images & SBOMs in artifact registries
- Supply chain security (signing, provenance)
- Remote caching and build acceleration
Run (Platforms)
- Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE), ECS/Fargate, Serverless
- Autoscaling, HPA, and right‑sizing strategies
- Resilience: retries, timeouts, circuit breakers
Observe (SRE)
- SLIs/SLOs with alerting on error budgets
- Tracing, metrics, logs; SLO‑driven capacity
- Incident response: runbooks & postmortems
Secure (Shift‑left)
- Secrets hygiene, dependency & image scanning
- Least‑privilege roles; least‑capability runners
- SBOM diffing and vulnerability gates
Delivery
CodeCommit/CodeBuild/CodePipeline, CodeDeploy, AppConfig for progressive delivery.
Containers
ECR, EKS, ECS/Fargate; IaC with Terraform/CDK; Helm releases.
Observability
CloudWatch, CloudWatch RUM/Synthetics, X‑Ray, OpenTelemetry collectors.
Quality & Security
Security scans (CodeGuru, Inspector), policy checks, approvals in pipelines.
Measurable outcomes (DORA)
Deployment frequency
From monthly to daily/weekly, per service. Track per repo/environment.
Lead time for changes
Time from commit to production. Goals by risk class.
Change failure rate
% of deployments causing incidents or rollbacks. Target within thresholds.
MTTR (restore time)
Median time to restore service after a failure—drive down via SRE.
