PLATFORM AUTOMATION

{{Build-out and configuration entirely as code}}

We automate your platform end to end as code: infrastructure, applications, governance plus operations and monitoring mesh like cogwheels. Because everything exists as code, you stay portable and can shift an environment between Azure and AWS whenever you need to.

THE SERVICE

The platform end to end as code

We automate infrastructure, governance, operations and monitoring as code, so environments come up reproducibly and stay {{portable}} between Azure and AWS.

General
Deep dive
1

Infrastructure as code

We describe the whole infrastructure as versioned, reproducible code.

Terraform, Bicep, ARM, state management, modules, provisioning

2

Configuration

Systems are brought into the desired state automatically and held there.

Ansible, desired state, idempotency, configuration drift, GitOps, templating

3

CI/CD

Changes to the platform pass through automated test and delivery routes.

Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, pipelines, automated testing, release automation, approvals

4

Governance as code

Policies and standards take effect automatically and are enforced continuously.

Policy-as-code, Azure Policy, guardrails, compliance checks, OPA, tagging

5

Operation & monitoring

Monitoring and operational tasks are automated and held as code as well.

Monitoring-as-code, alerting, dashboards, auto-remediation, observability, runbooks

6

Portability

Because everything exists as code, you can shift environments between cloud providers.

Multi-cloud, Azure, AWS, provider abstraction, reproducibility, portability

OUR APPROACH

Platform automation in five steps

1

Intake

We determine which areas are automated first.

1

Intake

We capture your existing environments, tools and manual routines and assess their automation potential. Together we settle which areas are carried over into code first.

You receive a prioritised route with the greatest benefit first. This order determines where we begin with infrastructure as code.

Infrastructure

We describe the infrastructure as versioned code.

2

Infrastructure

We describe the provisioning and configuration of your infrastructure as versioned code with Terraform, Bicep and ARM. State management and reusable modules keep environments reproducible.

New environments arise from the same building blocks and are therefore predictable instead of handcrafted. On this code base we set up the automated delivery routes.

3

Pipelines

Changes pass through automated test and delivery routes.

3

Pipelines

We bring systems into the desired state automatically through Ansible and desired state configuration and hold them there. Changes run through pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions with automated tests and approvals.

Every change is tested, documented and rolled out traceably instead of applied by hand. On these routes we then enforce your governance requirements.

Governance

Policies and standards take effect automatically as code.

4

Governance

We anchor policies through policy-as-code, Azure Policy and guardrails right in the platform. Compliance checks and uniform tagging ride along automatically with every environment.

Security and standards stay consistent, and deviations become visible instead of going unnoticed. The safeguarded platform we carry over into automated operation.

5

Operation

Monitoring and operational tasks run automatically as code.

5

Operation

We hold monitoring, alerting and dashboards as code and automate recurring operational tasks through runbooks and auto-remediation. Because everything exists as code, environments stay portable between Azure and AWS.

Your platform runs dependably, observably and without being tied to a single provider. Out of daily operation we develop the automation onward continuously.

YOUR BENEFITS

Why {{thinformatics}}

Entirely as code

Build-out and configuration exist versioned and reproducible.

Meshing together

Infrastructure, delivery, governance and operation work like cogwheels.

Portable

Environments can be shifted between Azure and AWS as needed.

Less handwork

Recurring tasks run automatically and with few errors.

Governance automatic

Policy-as-code enforces the rules in every delivery.

Dependable operation

Monitoring and routines keep the platform stable.

Frequently asked {{questions}}

FAQ

Answers to the questions we are asked most often about platform automation as code.

What does platform automation as code mean?
Platform automation describes your platform end to end as code, so infrastructure, applications, governance plus operations and monitoring mesh like cogwheels. Because everything exists as code, environments arise repeatably and traceably instead of by hand. Changes are documented, open to review and reproducible. You therefore gain a platform that works dependably, can be developed onward consistently and whose state follows from the code at any time.
What exactly is automated in platform automation?
The provisioning and configuration of your infrastructure, the delivery of applications plus governance, operational and monitoring tasks are automated. Recurring steps therefore run consistently and without manual sources of error. New environments arise from the same building blocks, so results stay predictable. Together we settle which areas are automated first and widen the coverage step by step, until the platform is described end to end as code.
How does portability between Azure and AWS come about?
Portability comes about because your environment exists as code and therefore stays reproducible independently of handwork. On that basis an environment can be shifted between Azure and AWS when needed, provided the services in use are mapped accordingly. Platform-specific dependencies we bring into view and handle deliberately. You therefore keep room to act and do not tie yourself to a single vendor for good.
How do security and standards stay upheld automatically?
Security and standards ride along automatically because policies and requirements are anchored firmly in the platform's code. New environments take these requirements on from the start, and deviations become visible rather than going unnoticed. Changes are documented traceably and open to review. Manual effort therefore falls noticeably, while security and consistency stay dependably in place across the whole platform.
How does platform automation fit into operations?
We build on your existing environments and processes and carry them step by step into one continuous description as code. Roles, ownership and operational routes we agree with your teams, so automation and daily operation mesh. Existing tools we bring in where it makes sense. Concrete security and compliance requirements we examine individually in each context, without making blanket promises.
