Node4's Cloud Automation Consulting service helps clients maximize their cloud investments by adopting DevOps practices. They offer end-to-end services, including designing and implementing DevOps tools and knowledge transfer to in-house teams. This service provides modular DevOps workflows for deploying pre-packaged environments that align with existing architecture and governance.
Node4 assists in defining approaches, setting naming standards, establishing CI/CD pipelines, creating service principals, setting up Git, and implementing agile boards. They create a 'vending machine' of workflows for deploying infrastructure as code, enabling a cloud center of excellence (CCoE) or efficient resource deployment. Key features include manageable DevOps workflows, rapid deployment of secure Azure environments, alignment with Microsoft best practices, and accelerated cloud transformation.
The engagement includes a design and planning workshop to establish business and technical requirements, design documentation, Azure DevOps deployment, and functional testing. Clients need to provide attendance at workshops, timely approval of documentation, administrative access to Azure, and support for change management processes. Deliverables include a configured Azure DevOps environment with deployed workflows and clear next steps for Azure adoption.
