CLOUD AUTOMATION Cloud automation is the process of identifying tasks which are time consuming and expensive for an organisation to manage with internal resources. With a cloud automation strategy, your business will use processes by which your IT environment can deploy services quickly, efficiently with all machines being updated simultaneously and automatically. Additionally, by adopting a DevOps approach, we can further improve development collaboration within your organisation and increase the quality and assurance of release deployments. Cloud automation spans the entire infrastructure, enabling a high-quality operating environment that is flexible enough to adapt to the changing needs of your business. Ultimately your business will become leaner, more agile and have decreased costs. Key benefits of cloud automation Increase flexibility You do not need to commit to more resources than are required, especially useful when forecasting capacity is difficult or will vary considerably. Continuously Develop Services Cloud automation means you can find out if new developments work and roll back easily if they don t. React more quickly to changing needs Cloud automation can provide an ideal, cost-effective platform for development and test environments.

8 CLOUD MIGRATION PLANNING AND DEPLOYMENT Successful migration to the cloud is not simply about lifting and shifting existing applications and infrastructure in their current state to the cloud. The true potential and cost-saving benefits can only be achieved with a fundamental change in business thinking. LayerV will provide a detailed assessment of which solutions will work more effectively on the cloud than in your physical data centre and break them down into smaller isolated components. This then allows for a smooth and manageable transition of services. DEVOPS-AS-A-SERVICE A methodology and set of practices that unify a team consisting of business leadership, development, testing, deployment, and operations to be responsible for the creation and delivery of business capabilities LayerV are firm advocates of DevOps and agile working. We aim to help our clients develop and adopt this leaner model wherever appropriate. While a successful shift to such as a model requires a total change in culture within an organisation, we provide the tools and capabilities to facilitate it. Our consultants have the development, operational and leadership experience to advise on such a migration. Ultimately, we architect solutions that involve new and existing tools and take advantage of the skillsets that already exist in an organisation. By harnessing the cloud as part of a DevOps transition, we are able to provide developers with better access and integration with cloud infrastructure to enable automated and rapid deployments. We are also able to advise on workflows and provide applications to support rollbacks if required. Once implemented, your business will benefit from many advantages including better performance monitoring, continuous development and increased release frequency with less code failures. Key benefits of cloud automation Proven Increase in Deployment Efficiency Companies that incorporate a DevOps business model deploy code up to 30 times faster and less than 50% of their deployments fail* Better IT Infrastructures DevOps enabled businesses benefit from continuous software delivery.
