Infrastructure as Code

AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and combinations of them. We build on Terraform or OpenTofu, Ansible and CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. Private cloud on request. Proxmox VE and VMware vSphere are the usual pair there.

GitOps is an operating model where a Git repository holds the declared state of infrastructure and applications, and an agent running in the target environment applies it. The OpenGitOps working group under the CNCF sets out four principles. The state is declarative, it is versioned and immutable, the agent pulls it from the repository on its own, and it continuously reconciles what is running against what is declared. In practice nothing reaches production without a merge request, and a rollback is a revert of a commit instead of a hand-edit on a live system. Who changed what and when comes out of the git log. The principles are published at opengitops.dev.

Automation turns security from a periodic check into a property of every change. CIS Benchmark hardening runs on each deployment. Policy-as-code rejects a pull request that opens a storage bucket to the internet or allows SSH from 0.0.0.0/0. Drift detection reports configuration that someone changed by hand in the console, outside the pipeline. Misconfiguration surfaces in code review, while the change is still a diff. The benchmarks are published by the Center for Internet Security at cisecurity.org.

Yes. RBAC, network policy, pod security standards, image signing with Sigstore and Cosign, and runtime detection. The controls sit in the CI/CD pipeline, so an unsigned image never reaches the cluster. We also cover edge clusters on the factory floor, where the hard part is the path in from the OT network.
