5 hacks to get the most out of a conference
Some conferences are quite helpful, but some of them can be frustrating and disappointing to the participants. Here are 5 tips to help you get the most out of your conference attendance.
- Learn info about the conference from a credible source and consult people who already attended this conference. In this particular case, a rumor mill can be quite helpful when you get information from former participants on what sessions are worthy and so on.
- Make a plan. Study the program the day before the conference and choose a couple of sessions and talks worth attending, but don’t try to cover everything, you don’t want to run like a hamster in a wheel.
- Get in touch with organizers. Sometimes conference organizers need urgent help with ceremony management. Even a simple offer of your help will surely make you noticable.
- Talk to people. Ask as many questions as you need and don’t be afraid to sound overly assertive. True experts adore sharing their knowledge and experience. And make sure your name tag is visible.
- Contact the people you meet at the conference afterward. Plus, if you enjoyed the conference, don’t forget to compliment the organizers and post positive feedback on social media platforms.

Monolith or Microservices? While IT companies are still debating on these architecture types, we, as a mature DevOps company successfully practicing microservice-style of software designing, decided to discuss the microservices main perks and more valuable microservice-related information. It makes perfect sense as according to Statista,
“in 2021, 85% of respondents from large organizations with 5,000 or more employees are currently using microservices which suggests that big enterprises are more likely to require microservice utilization in their operations”. And according to O’Reilly’s research “Microservices Adoption in 2020,”
77% of respondents (1,502 software engineers, systems and technical architects, engineers, and decision-makers from large and SMDOs) have adopted microservices, with 92% experiencing success with them.
Microservices: explained.
‘Micro’ means small, and microservices are a set of small, easily deployable applications that must execute business logic. By interacting with each other using various technologies such as API or HTTP protocols, these services are created separately from others and have completely autonomous deployment paths.
What are the pros and cons of microservice architecture? Microservices are better coordinated as the entire base is divided into smaller services that perform separate tasks. Considering each technician can work with each module individually and deploy it independently of other modules, we argue that delivery is more flexible and much faster than monolithic applications. Unlike monolithic architecture, microservices are smoothly scalable because there is no need to extend the entire system. In addition, a microservices-style architecture is more robust because the failure of a single module does not affect the entire infrastructure. However, microservice architecture designing and implementing is not a piece of cake. Generally, it takes more time and effort to work with all microservices. Moreover, quite often the deployment is difficult due to the sheer number of independent updates provided at the same time, and it is quite difficult to operate the entire process. But this can be simplified with deployment automation that DevOps engineers develop.
Microservices & Monoliths: What’s the difference?
Features | Monoliths | Microservices |
Constancy | one failure – entire system is down | one failure – one item is down |
Scalability | vertical and slow | horizontal/vertical and fast |
Speed | slow deployment, non-integrable | fast deployment, seamlessly integrable |
Required skills | Java, PHP, Ruby, Python/Django, etc. | DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS skills |
What architecture to choose, monolithic or microservice, depends on the goals of a particular IT organization, and monolithic style is for you if you intend to create a simple software, not trying to expand the team, and if you’re at the early stage of a cycle and designing a Minimum Viable Product to quickly collect feedback from your customers. Conversely, you should use microservices if you want to create large-scale software, looking to expand your team, or even create a couple of teams. If you plan to use different languages and have sufficient time to plan the project carefully, microservice-type architecture is better for you.
5-turn road from Monoliths to Microservices
What application-level changes you should do before you move from monolithic architecture to microservice one:
- Optimize building. It’s important to streamline your building stage and get rid of dependencies, bottlenecks, and so on.
- Split dependencies. Once the loop is ordered, you must remove the monolith dependencies between modules.
- Migrate to the local environment. With Docker containers, you localize each module and this will accelerate your software deployment.
- Develop synchronously. The different branches in the main repository should serve to run multiple tasks at once.
- Accept Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practice. With IaC, you dramatically speed up your development processes, as the main goal of IaC is to eliminate toil and ditch bottlenecks.
Microservices: find out all!
So, here is the top-notch microservice-dedicated articles list from Profisea experts:
- Let’s start with ABC – What are Microservices?: an easy guide for you. Plus, very helpful microservice vocabulary Part 1 and Part 2 to learn the terms.
- If you are still deciding which architecture type is better for your business, Monolithic or Microservice, here is the comparison article highlighting both architectures’ pros and cons.
- If your choice is adopting microservices and you decide to perform migration from monolith to microservices, we recommend you to read the Microservice Deployment Know-How article carefully.
- And, last but not the least, when dealing with microservice-type architecture, Security is a big matter. Here is a simple but quite helpful article on handling security in the Microservice Ecosystem.
Final thoughts: Microservice architecture is our choice, what about you?
If you choose to use microservices and decide to migrate from the monolith, we recommend that you think carefully about what you are doing and why. Try not to focus on the microservice creation activity, but on the desired outcome. What do you think the result will be? If the answer to this question is clear and you want to implement microservices, go ahead, but reach out to DevOps professionals to execute DevOps-as-a-Service or at least get advice on this very time and energy-consuming issue.

Service disruptions are an unfortunate reality IT enterprises must deal with whether they desire to or not. In the era of cloud computing, suppliers and customers rely on redundant systems, backups, and a range of disaster mitigation systems to reduce the risk of outrage. However, the biggest disruptions to cloud computing are due to the pioneers of cloud infrastructure technologies. For instance, a massive internet disruption in July 2021, briefly took out a wide range of major corporate websites — from FedEx to McDonald’s. The outages coincided with reports of system disruptions from Akamai (AKAM) and Oracle (ORCL) — two key providers of internet infrastructure services. Later that afternoon, Akamai explained the outage was caused by a “software configuration update triggered a bug in the DNS system.”
No one is immune to all sorts of contingencies ranging from ISP outrages to human error, on the other hand, handling IT disruptions ASAP is our clear duty since outage/downtime losses are huge. According to Gartner, the average cost of IT downtime is $5,600 per minute. And there are much more appealing casualties like productivity reduction and business reputation loss. According to Infrascale, 37% of SMBs in the survey group said they have lost customers and 17% have lost revenue due to downtime.
Here is when NOC (network operations center) saves the day providing a centralized location where IT teams can continuously monitor the performance and health of an entire infrastructure serving as the first line of defense against system disruptions and failures.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.9″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” link_font=”||||||||” max_width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]What is NOC?
Let’s think about the Internet as a good case of one of the items NOC monitors. If there is a bottleneck on the Internet, or a major link has gone down somewhere, NOC knows about it and works on resolving the issue. How does this sound to you? Pretty cool! Network Operations Center (NOC) is a centralized facility where IT professionals monitor, manage, and respond to alerts when critical system elements fail.
NOC’s perfect formula is:
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://www.profisea.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/formula.png” title_text=”formula” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|20px|0px|20px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.9″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” link_font=”||||||||” max_width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]NOC uses software tools to monitor technology assets via protocols like Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to get in touch with system devices, determine their status and get back with this data to a centralized control panel where the NOC team takes action. NOCs are important components in a Technology Service Provider or Large Enterprise approach towards IT management. With NOC, IT organizations resolve issues proactively but not reactively. NOC engineers and technicians are in charge of monitoring the health, safety, and capacity of infrastructure in a customer’s environment. They make decisions and adjustments to ensure excellent organizational performance.
With that, a pretty logical question arises — in-house NOC or NOC-as-a-service? NOC-as-a-Service is not a one-size-fits-all, but a quite practical option, and in the case of a company sourcing the NOC-as-a-Service compared to deploying and managing a NOC in-house can get rather powerful benefits:
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.9″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” link_font=”||||||||” max_width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]- Reduced CAPEX. Addressing your network issues to a mature service company that has already made the CAPEX investments to inaugurate NOC is more cost-efficient than a company hiring and deploying a professional NOC in-house team and handling all the costs.
- Reduced OPEX. Professional NOC service providers can share OPEX-related fixed costs and therefore enable service at a lower cost compared to a customer operating an in-house NOC.
- Improved team productivity. With NOC-as-a-service, in-house engineers can focus on more creative tasks, while boosting positive customer experience notably.
Why Profisea’s NOC?
Israeli DevOps company Profisea provides NOC or CIOC (Cloud Infrastructure Operation Center), to be exact, as one of our various services. Profisea’s Israeli-Ukrainian professional team supervise, monitor, and maintain the entire cloud infrastructure and related services to ensure the high availability of critical business services. Our AWS certified engineers keep a close eye on the cloud infrastructure to ensure the system uptime is not compromised due to malware, system errors, or other issues.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.9″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” link_font=”||||||||” max_width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]- We are available 24/7. Our duty roster is scheduled and our partners have access to it. There is a virtual US phone number – a “hot number” that can be used for automatic call back to the engineer.
- We fully automated incident monitoring and made a template out of it. It takes us two days to deploy this system. It means we provide a turn-key NOC: ready-made team, ready-made monitoring, and we have it fully automated.
- We integrate with many services. We monitor AWS infrastructures and systems. Plus, we monitor the application itself. It means we monitor not only our partner’s infrastructure but also all the dependencies that it has, even the mail server.
- We are a Kubernetes-ready monitoring NOC team. We are Kubernetes experienced, which is a rare situation even with DevOps teams.
- We have DevOps engineers on duty together with the NOC team. We schedule DevOps engineers’ shifts and in case of an incident, he/she should join the NOC team and deal with it.
- We react before an incident happens. Our NOC team’s main goal is to prevent problems. We receive an incident, and it does not mean that something has fallen – it means that something begins to be suspicious.
Final thoughts: which NOC player is yours?
With NOCs, organizations gain complete system visibility, so they can detect anomalies and either take action to prevent problems or quickly resolve problems as they arise. NOC controls infrastructure and equipment from wiring to servers, including IoT devices and smartphones. NOC, when implemented correctly, manages integrationing with online customer tools and all involved services.

Have your cloud under the watchful eye!

Cloud hosting is the trend every organization is willing to adopt. Progressive businesses give up building in-house computing infrastructures for cloud hosting services and solutions administered by giant world’s cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. According to a PwC report, 75% of IT decision-makers are considering turning to the cloud’s adjustable and scalable services. Taking advantage of IaaS also gives you the flexibility to innovate faster, duplicate production environments, scale up or down ad-lib and take advantage of new technologies as they are released. However, with great flexibility also comes a new set of challenges like the complexity of managing and security. So, understanding the infrastructure’s current state, automated planning of the future steps, lightning-fast troubleshooting, easily triggered scaling-up/down, and supervised security can be carried out with the help of cloud visualization. State DevOps Report indicates that high-performing IT organizations experiencing 60X fewer failures and deploying 30X more frequently identify visualization as an effective way to build quality into the system.

Visualization tools significantly lower your expenses on infrastructure maintenance as they are predictable and easily manageable. Consequently, this paves the way for remarkably efficient cost reduction as you pay as you go.
3. Get DevOps operations agile and streamline. Cloud visualization reduces repetitive, manual work for the DevOps department, enabling faster operations with limitless agility. Your engineers will have more time to focus on high-priority, creative tasks. Visualization of DevOps processes is essential for amplifying feedback loops. Additionally, working with visuals improves communication significantly and boosts teams’ workflows efficiency. With cloud resource visualization tools, any assigned users can access and analyze a real-time visual model of your infrastructure via data-driven interactive maps. You’ll save a substantial amount of expenses by automating unscalable, time-consuming tasks and get extensive flexibility for your enterprise cloud workload.
4. Get improved cloud cybersecurity. Aside from praising public clouds as tools of the future, we can’t avoid the fact that cybersecurity has become a big issue recently. You should always be aware of how data traffic moves through your virtual network and what circulation paths are allowed for it, how your ingress and egress ports and IP addresses work, etc. With cloud visualization solutions in hand, your teams will be able to troubleshoot the infrastructure problems and identify required security configurations faster.
5. Drive system compliance 24/7. By utilizing cloud resource visualization applications, you can continuously track potential compliance violations in a cloud environment and share network compliance details in the form of precise architecture diagrams or graphs. You can also provide these diagrams to auditors to confirm that your system complies with all the industry standards, which is vital when you store sensitive financial/personal data in the cloud.

Considering the company needs, requirements and goals, you can utilize such cloud visualization tools:
- Open-source apps, when the service code is publicly available;
- Free visualization products, when some limited proprietary cloud visualization tool versions are available
- Proprietary visualization tools, when full paid versions with a wide range of sophisticated functions is available in the cloud or provider’s server architecture.
When deciding on what visualization tool suits your business most, consider these main factors:
- Usability. A user-friendly interface is an equally important factor of visualization solution together with flexibility and analytical functionality.
- Integration ability. When data lack issues take place, a good visualization tool easily connects to external sources and extracts critical information from them.
- Scalability. Consider the tool’s scalability level. Hard-to-scale solutions cannot be in favor, for obvious reasons.
- Team skill level. Do not forget to take into consideration teams’ skills when choosing a cloud visualization tool. Many managers skip this step and make a tactical mistake, as with complex tools in hand, they waste lots of the resources to train teams.

Alongside data visualization in the form of graphs, diagrams, charts, and infrastructure correlations, role-based access management, email reporting, visual analytics, and in-place filtering functionality, contemporary cloud visualization tools present new competitive features. So, here are the latest trends in data visualization:
- Artificial Intelligence. AI & Machine Learning are integrated into modern cloud visualization solutions to catch and cover data patterns faster.
- Actual management. What if you could rightsize, delete, spot/unspot instances right away inside the infrastructure schemes? It would be great! In all fairness, not so many data visualization tools can boast that feature.
- Storytelling. Visual analytics is not enough right now. Demanding customers want visualization tools to enlist narrative while creating data reports, and modern visualization tools incorporate this feature as well. Gartner experts predict that by 2025, we will get most of our information from data-driven narrative storytelling, and 75% of these stories will be generated by automated systems.
Wrapping things up: Cloud visualization? Yes, please!
With the right cloud visualization tools, you easily validate the implemented CI/CD changes within minutes and you get rid of unconnected/unused machines and instances. What’s more, you schedule hibernation, identify areas for improvements and detect misconfigurations/compliance violations. DevOps engineers instantaneously check all development strategies to see if everything is working as expected and gain instant security alerts.

For the past several months, we’ve been sorting out everything microservices-related from teams organization, user interface, and data storing to distributed and security concepts, API gateways, registries, and more. You already know how to apply the Microservice architecture to build a shipment application as a set of services. Now it’s time to wrap up and cross the finish line by digging into the patterns of the deployment process.
As we’ve mentioned, microservices are the stand-alone, independently developed and scalable artifacts. To provide the proper level of their performance and availability, you have to deploy them as a series of multiple instances. Meaning, isolating services from one another and choosing the appropriate deployment pattern.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.9″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||” max_width=”1200px” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]5 Things to Remember Before Deploying
- You’d want to simplify your app’s deployment process while maintaining its cost-effectiveness;
- In most cases, your team is going to write the services in different languages and frameworks;
- Your services will have numerous versions; still, the deployment of each instance should be reliable, quick, easy;
- You’d want to be able to scale or limit the hardware resources used by services;
- You’re going to track each instance’s behavior, so the monitoring process should also be efficient.
How to Package Microservices?
Overall, you have 2 ways of running your sets of instances – on physical servers or virtual machines, on-premise or in the cloud.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://www.profisea.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/blog-img-1.jpg” title_text=”blog-img-1″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||” max_width=”1200px”]Each approach in detail:
- Physical servers have their own memory capacity, processing algorithms, network, and data storage.
- Virtual machines (VM) lend you the same physical server with established physical capacity, but, in turn, give you virtual CPU, memory, and network, therefore, empowering you to set limits for the resources consumed by your services.
Also, there is one more trick when you want to simplify and automate the deployment process. It’s to present each service as a container image and run it using special digital tools for container management.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||” max_width=”1200px”]4 Microservices Deployment Patterns
When you’ve decided whether to use hardware or cloud servers, you can now follow one of these patterns. To choose, consider the software and hardware capacities you need, the forecasted load on your app, and the 5 things to remember we’ve listed above.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||” max_width=”1200px”]1st – Single Microservice Instance per One Host or VM
As it says, yes, deploy each particular instance on its own host or VM. This pattern allows isolating microservice instances from one another, and reduce the resources consumption by each instance to the threshold of a single host or VM.
In the case of virtual infrastructure, you’d have to package the whole service as a VM image and deploy the instances as separate machines. As an example, Netflix experts package their services as Amazon Machine Images, using EC2 for deploying the instances.
Also, this approach excludes the conflict of resources and dependency versions. The instances’ management, monitoring, and redeployment are easy and straightforward.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||” max_width=”1200px”]2nd – Multiple Instances per One Host/VM
If needed, you can run a few instances of several separate services on a single host or VM. The tools like Tomcat, Jetty, or web apps/OSGi bundles can help with this pattern. Potentially, it’s a more beneficial solution compared to 1st one thanks to the highly efficient resource utilization.
However, you shouldn’t forget about ensuring that your services and dependency versions do not get into a conflict at the end of the day. Also, it’ll be challenging to coordinate and limit the system resources assigned to the instances.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||” max_width=”1200px”]3rd – One Instance per One Container (The Art of Orchestration)
When your app’s architecture gets too complicated, you risk getting lost in a packaging process with all its dependencies and system’s capacity parameters. Here, as we’ve said earlier, the containerization method comes handy. The containers capture and save all technology specifics that you used during each service development. As a result, you get an image that contains all the right dependencies while isolating the instances. It boosts the consistency level, so you can now launch and stop your services in precisely the same way.
When you deploy instances as containers, it’s easier to scale up and down the service itself. You just need to manage the number of container instances. With this pattern, you also have full control over the limits of CPU and memory usage. It’s a way faster solution for running the microservices through all development stages to testing and production.
However, you’d face the need to orchestrate all your containers that run across multiple VMs. This means handling such challenges as:
- finding out how to start the right container at the right time;
- handling storage process and system resources usage;
- establishing the way they can communicate with each other;
- dealing with failed containers or hardware, and so on.
Fortunately, the modern advancement of technology presents you with the digital orchestrators that allow automating all these tasks and reduce time and efforts usually spent on manual operational tasks. The most popular container management and orchestration system is Docker, though there are other nice alternatives from Amazon, IBM, Kubernetes, Azure, and Google.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||” max_width=”1200px”]Continuous Delivery (Your Best Friend)
It’s not the deployment pattern itself, but it’s what you should aim for to achieve the highest level of robustness for your product development cycle from deployment into production. Continuous Delivery is a DevOps practice that streamlines code building, testing, version control, and delivering with automated tools. These tools package the ready code into a container, then ping the orchestrator to deploy all the pieces of your architecture. Repeated testing of your software, processes, and application ecosystem before deployment to production lets you discover most errors early on and reduce their impact.
If you follow the 3rd pattern and every element of your microservices architecture presented as a container, Continuous Delivery (CD) allows you to automate the entire deployment process. The most frequently recommended CD tools would be Jenkins, Buddy, Jira, and Netflix’s Asgard or Aminator. Also, AWS, Azure, and IBM offer high-quality pipeline management instruments.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://www.profisea.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/blog-img-3.jpg” title_text=”blog-img-3″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||” max_width=”1200px”]4th – Serverless Deployment Environments
One of the most commonly used patterns these days is to choose a serverless, automated deployment platform provided by a public cloud vendor. Most known providers of such environments are AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions. Their utilities come with all needed instruments that create a service abstraction via a set of highly available instances.
Such an infrastructure relieves you of the need to personally operate and manage the pre-allocated resources (physical or virtual servers, hosts, containers). Everything is going to be done for you on the pay as you go basis – you pay only for the vendor’s resources you actually used while deploying a service.
To deploy microservices via serverless environments:
- package the service’s code (ZIP file or else);
- upload it to the chosen platform’s infrastructure;
- state the desired performance characteristics;
- the platform receives the code and processes it only when triggered to do so;
- then, the FaaS cloud computing service automatically runs and scales your code to handle the load.
Generally, some of your microservices will be running on several environments, which means different runtime configuration for the same particular service. Therefore, when you consider developing a microservices-based application, remember to take into account the possible need to externalize each service code into a centralized digital configuration store (Consul, Decider, etc.) that would simplify its future deployment.

As you see, deploying microservices can be tricky. However, instruments like containers, orchestrators, and continuous delivery pipelines greatly help to overcome the complexity of any architecture. They automate and streamline not just development, QA, and version control, but also the deployment environment.

Stating the obvious here, but 2020 was a hard year for everyone at best. Continuity and resiliency of businesses worldwide have suffered because of the rapid unanticipated changes and economic collapse. Numerous companies faced massive layoffs, revenue drop, and the need to cut costs while maintaining their operations up and running.
However, some found the most efficient way to fight back the COVID-19 disruption. They reduced their IT costs through robust DevOps, cloud optimization, and automation of manual tasks. Virtualization and DevOps practices became life-savers for enterprises in various industries, allowing them to cut operating expenses for development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
So, today Profisea shares useful tips to help you grow your business with DevOps while actually saving money and effort.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.9″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” link_font=”||||||||” width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||” animation_direction=”right” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]Why should you turn to DevOps to reduce costs and streamline operations?
There are top five reasons:
- Business processes automation increases enterprise-wide operational efficiency and resiliency.
- DevOps cycle itself essentially decreases costs by reducing engineers’ manual work and shortens time to market. It enables your teams to build, test, and deploy faster and with fewer errors.
- Fine-tuned CI/CD pipelines reduce redundancy for your teams and make your business more agile and flexible.
- Automated cloud infrastructures allow achieving sustainable cost reduction by optimizing the usage of cloud resources. With a cloud-native architecture, you can scale up and down cloud consumption on-demand.
- You can leverage DevOps as a Service (Managed DevOps) outsourcing model. It helps automate delivery processes, create cloud environments, improve team collaboration and productivity while paying far less than when doing it all in-house.
Gartner forecasts that global spending on IT areas to reach $3.8 trillion in 2021, an increase of four percent from 2020. Thus, the demand for maintaining the appropriate budget for all things related to software development will also be higher than ever. The world keeps transitioning into remote and hybrid work mode as the new normal — everything will depend on the quality and robustness of enterprise digital transformation initiatives.
Future software engineering will focus on even more agile release cycles, hyperautomation, remote collaboration tools, and continuous improvements across all development processes. DevOps and cloud computing will play key parts in building standardized and consistent build-test-deploy environments, where the teams are enabled to react to any changes promptly and efficiently.

Here is a quick guide on leveraging DevOps best practices to gain full control over your IT expenditures.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” link_font=”||||||||” width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]#1 Automate everything you can — CI/CD, business processes, and infrastructure
Yes, to save costs, you first need to invest some money in automation that has proven its effectiveness in reducing costs long ago. So, you’ll need to automate CI/CD pipelines, manually controlled operations, databases, servers, and other ecosystem elements, and implement the Infrastructure as Code (IaaC) approach. It’ll relieve your engineers from the need to provision IT infrastructure and manage all its components manually every time they build, test, or deploy software.
Instead, CI/CD processes and the whole infrastructure will be transformed into a customizable and scalable automated framework. Such a framework consists of the pre-set templates, protocols, and controls that allow your developers to configure existing services or launch new ones within minutes. IaaC model also lets you set the same configuration to one node or to thousands of them, avoiding vast amounts of repetitive work.
Subsequently, the IaaC approach also enables business processes automation (BPA) by eliminating mundane, routine, but still important tasks. They won’t be skipped, but they will be automated and won’t be demotivating your developers ever again, thanks to the DevOps practices. With BPA, you’ll receive a highly efficient workflow with more time for QA and testing, which will boost your team’s productivity and lower expenses for rework.

You can easily reduce company operating overhead expenses by using third-party SaaS providers like AWS or Azure clouds, Elastic managed services, and others. For instance, building a managed database from scratch is also time-consuming and expensive. Luckily, an expert DevOps team can provide you with the most cost-efficient, ready for use service (e.g., Amazon RDS).
Using such an approach, you’ll pay only for the resources you actually use during an outlined period of time. Third-party managed service providers offer various packages with computing and storage capabilities based on your business goals. As the pandemic pushes companies to stop growing their workforce and avoid substantial investments, leveraging third-party services is a win-win strategy.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” link_font=”||||||||” width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]#3 Optimize tools and resources
In most cases, your budget is blown up by poor management of a wide range of DevOps applications and resources your team uses daily. Hence, a good idea is to take an inventory to analyze all your instruments and re-develop legacy infrastructure if needed to cut its costs. Then, create an optimization roadmap to choose the suitable capabilities, instances, management tiers, and optimal payment options for each tool. Managing your cloud usage is essential to avoid sprawl.
The roadmap can include such actions as:
- Analyzing the consumption of subscription-based services and their relevance;
- Using discounts from a service provider;
- Setting automatic hibernation/system shutdown for machines you don’t need running 24/7;
- Choosing the right type of instance for cloud resources and deleting underused instances;
- Moving the occasionally used storage to cheaper tiers;
- Implementing alerts for when spend thresholds exceed the pre-established limit;
- Checking up if hosting in a different region/zone can benefit your project.
Finally, train your staff to appropriately manage all the resources and implement policies that enforce limitations and usage requirements. It’ll help you control IT spending and gain maximum efficiency from your toolchain while significantly optimizing costs.

Container-based development eases application hosting and streamlines collaboration between all team members. Containers accelerate building, testing, and deployment environments, making user experience always consistent. When your software is containerized, it also simplifies the process of updating it without disrupting service.
This approach lowers expenses needed for keeping your resources up and running, and inside containers, you can operate applications developed in any language. This, in turn, allows your teams to switch between different programming environments fast and without losing productivity.

In our times, when businesses move to all things remote, your company’s cybersecurity is a top priority. Enforcing robust security policies and protocols for both employees and users is critical. If those policies aren’t followed, it can cost you a lot. DevSecOps approach is a rising star in the IT field that allows you to detect any exposable flaws in your enterprise data safety measures. And do everything necessary to remove vulnerabilities before any breach happens.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” link_font=”||||||||” width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]#6 Try out DevOps as a Service
This outsourcing delivery model provides turn-key consulting and engineering services from audit and strategy planning to project infrastructure assessment and development actions. DevOps managed service providers can help you grow or shut down SDLC areas according to your operational needs. Simultaneously, usage of on-demand, budget-friendly DevOps services can free your in-house full-time employees to focus on delivering better value to more strategic tasks.
External DevOps experts will handle all tasks related to requirements clarification, identifying risks and opportunities, creating architecture, implementing automation and IaaC, and more. Instead of doing it yourself, you’ll get a comprehensive roadmap designed by professionals or even the core infrastructure with configured pipelines fully ready for support management and scaling.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.9″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” link_font=”||||||||” width=”1200px” custom_margin=”||” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]Four actions to take to start optimizing your IT costs with DevOps
- Audit your processes, business goals, and resources to get a clear picture of what you’re using and what your operating expenses are. Then, initiate business impact analysis to discover the bottlenecks and map out the risk scenarios, seasonal lows and highs.
- Create a plan for your optimization journey and risk mitigation — define the problematic areas and the ways to improve them with the DevOps practices.
- Implement the changes and adapt your architecture. Assess your new capabilities and monitor your new stream of IT costs to see if the planning was successful and if there are any gaps you overlooked.
- Continue improving your optimization cycle — look for new services and tools that will help you reduce expenses even more while maintaining your infrastructure’s highest productivity.
