DevOps on the AWS Platform

DevOps on AWS has always been a critical business decision for many businesses. Its becoming important for businesses to analyse when to use native tools and applications and when they need to turn to a third party partner to help them manage their infrastructure, especially if they are opting to use the public cloud for their devops strategy.

AWS has two key features like scalability and API automation which makes it the go to platform for a DevOps model. However, the challenge arises when enterprises using legacy systems for the longest time, treat Ops as a secondary decision in the business.

Sysfore Technologies, a Bangalore based cloud management provider and AWS partner, helps businesses move to DevOps on AWS.

Sysfore’s transition from web hosting to cloud computing, and shifting from  siloed working groups to DevOps, took some years to implement. We had many challenges from customer demand for newer services and getting people with the right skill set to gain the internal expertise required to manage this platform. But today, we have seen immense growth and we keep adding new products, services and functionalities in our AWS portfolio .Says Ajith Mathew George- CTO- Sysfore Technologies.
