With a focus on automation and continuous improvement, it empowers teams to develop faster but robustly, supported by the DevOps methodology.

1

Plan

Collaboratively define project requirements, from technology to implementation. Establish goals and milestones to support a rapid initiation across all teams.

2

Configure

Implement CI/CD pipelines to automatically build, evaluate and deploy code to cloud platforms. Run security and compliance tests with a shift-left mindset, supporting development teams to improve code early in the cycle.

3

Deliver

Push code consistently and rapidly through pipelines, out to static web hosting, virtual machines and serverless platforms. Verified and repeatable deployment patterns provide stability and predictability so that deploys can be fast and frequent for maximum agility.

4

Monitor

Identify key performance and operational metrics to monitor with custom dashboards, triggers and alarms. Ship logs for easy access and review by all teams. Real-time monitoring enables proactive issue detection, performance optimisation and the rapid resolution of identified issues.

5

Iterate

Repeat, repeat, repeat. Iterate over the process, constantly reviewing and refining the process, code, performance and security with each pass.
