Frequently Asked Questions

ARTechOps designs and automates cloud infrastructure, builds CI/CD pipelines, embeds security scanning into delivery (DevSecOps), manages infrastructure as code, and sets up monitoring and incident response for engineering teams.

Yes. ARTechOps offers a complimentary high-level review of your cloud stack and delivery bottlenecks. Book a slot on the website or email info@artechops.com.

AWS, GCP and Azure; Kubernetes and Docker; Terraform/OpenTofu and Ansible; GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and ArgoCD; Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry and HashiCorp Vault.

Senior engineers respond within one business day, and all engagements are covered by NDA on request.

Yes. We design for AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, including multi-cloud and hybrid setups, and choose the provider mix based on your workload, compliance needs and budget.

Cost governance (FinOps) is part of every architecture review: right-sizing, autoscaling, storage tiering and tagging policies. Savings depend on your current setup, so we quantify them during the audit rather than promise a number up front.

A documented target architecture, a prioritised roadmap, and infrastructure-as-code specifications so the design can be built and reviewed in version control.

GitHub Actions and GitLab CI for build and test, and ArgoCD or Flux for GitOps-based deployment to Kubernetes.

Yes. We use canary or blue/green deployments with health checks so a failed release rolls back automatically.

Yes. We often start by auditing an existing pipeline for slow stages, missing security gates and unreliable deployments, then fix those before rebuilding anything.

Both are supported. We pick based on your licensing preference and existing state; the modules and workflow are largely the same.

Yes. We import resources into state and codify them in stages so production is not disrupted.

All changes go through pull requests and pipelines, and scheduled plan runs flag any difference between code and the live environment.

DevSecOps means running security checks (code analysis, dependency and image scanning, secrets handling) automatically inside the delivery pipeline instead of reviewing security only at the end.

Scans run in parallel with tests and are tuned to block only on severities you choose, so most teams keep their release speed while catching issues earlier.

We harden infrastructure and pipelines against the technical controls those frameworks expect. Formal certification still requires an accredited auditor.

Yes. We assess dependencies, choose between lift-and-shift and re-platforming per workload, and plan cutovers to minimise downtime.

We replicate databases ahead of cutover, run verification checks on both sides and keep a tested rollback path until sign-off.

Not necessarily. Many workloads can be containerised and re-platformed first, with deeper modernisation done in later phases.

Monitoring tells you something is wrong using known metrics; observability (metrics, logs and traces together) helps you find out why, even for failures you did not anticipate.

We design alerting and runbooks for 24/7 operation. Coverage arrangements for your engagement are agreed in the scope.

Yes. We extend existing Prometheus, Grafana or Datadog setups before introducing anything new.
