DevOps

AIGard sets up the pipelines, automation and practices that let your team release faster and more safely. We work in your tools and leave your team able to run them.

The work typically covers:

• CI/CD pipeline design and build
• Infrastructure as code
• Containerization and Kubernetes
• Monitoring, logging and alerting
• Release and rollback strategies
• DevSecOps and automated security scanning

DevOps is usually the right investment in one or more of these situations:

• Releases are slow, manual or risky
• Environments drift apart
• Outages take too long to diagnose
• Developers wait on infrastructure

On a 30-minute scoping call we confirm whether it fits your case and recommend a team shape and first milestones.

Yes, AIGard DevOps engineers can join your team through staff augmentation or as part of a dedicated team.

In either model they work inside your tools and environment under least-privilege access, on work such as CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and monitoring and alerting. The aim is to leave your own team able to run what is built.

Yes, AIGard works with your current DevOps tools, and we improve what you have before suggesting anything new.

We review your existing pipelines, automation and infrastructure before recommending what to keep, refactor or replace. Where a change of tool is justified we explain why, and because the work is done in your tools, your team remains able to run it afterward.

Yes. Engineers work inside your cloud accounts under least-privilege access, following your access policies.

Access is reviewed as roles change and removed when work ends. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA.

By agreeing security and reliability requirements up front, automating delivery, and checking each change before release.

Code reviews, dependency checks and secure credential handling are part of the development process, and changes are released in controlled steps rather than in one cutover where that is avoidable.

For DevOps, AIGard engineers typically work with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS and Azure.

The stack is selected to fit the systems you already run, and engineers are matched to it before they join.

DevOps is available through any of AIGard’s three engagement models: staff augmentation, where engineers join your team; a dedicated team that runs the workstream; or software outsourcing, where AIGard delivers a defined project.

The choice depends on how much of the delivery you want to manage, and it can change later under the same agreement.

Engineers typically start within two to four weeks of the scoping call. The exact date depends on the roles, seniority and number of people required.

We confirm a realistic start date in writing before you commit, and you meet the proposed engineers before work begins.

AIGard engineers typically cost 30–50% less than the fully loaded cost of a comparable US-based hire, with no recruiting fees, benefits overhead or insurance costs on your side.

The figure for a specific engagement depends on the model, the roles, the seniority mix and the size of the team. We issue a written proposal after the scoping call, so the commercial terms are agreed before any work starts.

NDAs are signed before any access is given, and engineers work inside your environment under least-privilege access, with permissions limited to their responsibilities.

Access is reviewed as roles change and removed when work ends. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA, with PII masking, encryption and audit logging built into data work. We review your access policies, data-handling needs and vendor requirements during scoping.

You do. Intellectual property assignment is written into every contract, in every engagement model.

That covers source code, designs, documentation, data, models and prompts produced for you. Third-party components and their licenses are identified, so ownership is clear at handover.
