Platform engineering, cloud and SRE
Ship daily, sleep well: delivery pipelines and platforms that just work.
Our DevOps practice designs, automates and runs the platforms behind VCNR’s products and client systems, on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or a lean custom VPS. We turn releases into routine, keep systems observable and secure, and make cloud costs explainable.
Our promise
Make delivery boring in the best way: every change built, tested, secured and deployed the same way, every environment reproducible from code, and every incident a lesson that makes the system stronger.
Capabilities
What the DevOps & Cloud team does.
- 01
CI/CD pipelines
Build, test, security scanning and deployment automated end to end, with approvals where they matter.
- 02
Infrastructure as code
Reproducible environments with Terraform, Ansible and cloud-native templates, reviewed like application code.
- 03
Containers and Kubernetes
Docker images, managed Kubernetes clusters, Helm charts and GitOps deployments.
- 04
Multi-cloud and custom VPS
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or cost-effective VPS hosting, chosen for your workload and budget.
- 05
Observability and SRE
Logs, metrics, traces, dashboards and alerts with service-level objectives and on-call runbooks.
- 06
DevSecOps
Secrets management, dependency and container scanning, least-privilege access and audit trails.
- 07
Cloud migration
Assessments and phased moves from on-premise or legacy hosting to the cloud with minimal downtime.
- 08
FinOps and cost control
Tagging, budgets, right-sizing and reserved capacity so cloud bills are predictable and explainable.
- 09
Backup and disaster recovery
Tested backups, recovery objectives and failover plans that are rehearsed, not assumed.
- 10
Data and ML platforms
Infrastructure for data pipelines, lakehouses and model serving, including Databricks workspaces.
How we work
A repeatable way of working, refined on every engagement.
- 1
Assess
Review the current architecture, pipelines, environments, costs and pain points with your team.
- 2
Design the platform
Target architecture, environments, branching and release strategy agreed up front.
- 3
Codify everything
Infrastructure, pipelines and configuration move into version-controlled code.
- 4
Automate delivery
CI/CD with tests and security checks on every change, and safe rollout strategies.
- 5
Observe and respond
Dashboards, alerts and runbooks so problems are spotted and fixed fast.
- 6
Optimise continuously
Regular reviews of reliability, delivery speed and cost, with prioritised improvements.

What we measure
Quality and speed you can see, not just hear about.
Deployment frequency
How often changes reach production safely.
Lead time for changes
Time from a merged change to it running in production.
Change failure rate
The share of releases that cause an incident or rollback.
Time to restore service
How quickly normal service resumes after an incident.
Cloud cost per environment
Spend tracked by product, team and environment against budget.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Do you work with our existing cloud provider?
Yes. We work across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and custom VPS hosting, and recommend changes only where they make sense for cost or reliability.
Can you take over an environment someone else built?
Yes. We start by documenting and codifying what exists, then improve it safely without disrupting running systems.
How do you keep cloud costs under control?
Through tagging, budgets and alerts, regular right-sizing reviews and choosing the simplest hosting that meets the need.
