DevOps as a Service: CI/CD, Cloud and Platform Engineering for the AI Era

What DevOps as a Service Means at Valletta

DevOps as a service means an external team owns your CI/CD, cloud infrastructure and platform engineering on an ongoing engagement, instead of you hiring and managing that function in-house. Valletta Software is a Malta-based EU company with 200+ engineers that has delivered 1000+ projects since 2009. Our DevOps engineers work with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform and CI/CD pipelines on Jenkins, GitHub Actions and GitLab across AWS, Azure and GCP, and add AIOps and AI-assisted automation for observability, cloud cost optimization and secure, automated releases. A dedicated team is ready in 48 hours and you get a response within 24 hours. Valletta is a Clutch Global 2025 and Upwork Elite partner. Book a free consultation.

From a Recent Engagement: GitOps delivery for a regulated healthcare platform

The problem

A HealthTech company running remote patient monitoring had to meet ISO 13485 and ISO/IEC 27001: every production change traceable, verified, validated and released under control, across independently deployable services.

What Valletta built

A GitHub Actions, Helm and Flux GitOps delivery path on Kubernetes across four isolated environments. Five security checks on every change: SAST, dependency scanning, container image scanning, SonarQube quality gates and SBOM generation.

The result

Every production change is a reviewed, scanned, declarative commit; the image that was scanned is the image that runs; a rollback is a Git revert.

When DevOps as a Service Makes Sense

Four situations we are brought into most often. If yours is not here, the free consultation is where we find out whether it fits.

checkNo platform team yet

The product ships, but deployments are manual and nobody owns the pipeline. We set the foundation up once and hand over runbooks, so a small team runs it without a DevOps hire.

checkYour DevOps hire is a team of one

One engineer carries CI/CD, cloud and on-call. We add the second pair of hands, cover leave and departures, and train the next in-house hire.

checkA migration or Kubernetes move with a deadline

Cloud migration, a move to Kubernetes or a cost cut needs skills a single engineer rarely has at once. A pod with the right mix, scoped to a statement of work.

checkCompliance that must not slow releases

ISO 27001, ISO 13485, SOC 2 style controls built into the pipeline, so every change produces its own audit evidence instead of a document trail written afterwards.
Key KPis that are for succesful DevOps transformation

What Is Included in DevOps as a Service

The scope of an ongoing engagement. Fixed-scope versions of each line are available when you need one thing done rather than a team.

CI/CD pipelines

GitHub Actions, GitLab or Jenkins pipelines from lint to production deploy, with environment promotion, smoke tests and automated rollback. Existing pipelines are audited and fixed rather than replaced.

Cloud infrastructure as code

Terraform (or AWS CDK where you already use it) with remote state, module structure, workspace isolation and drift detection in CI, on AWS, Azure or GCP.

Kubernetes and containers

Managed cluster setup (EKS, AKS, GKE), Helm charts, autoscaling, RBAC and network policies, GitOps with Flux or Argo CD, and a production readiness checklist.

Monitoring, security and cloud cost

Prometheus, Grafana and Alertmanager on the four golden signals, per-service dashboards, runbooks generated from alert definitions, and continuous support after go-live. SAST, dependency and container image scanning, SBOM generation in the build, External Secrets Operator with vault integration, no credentials in source control. Regulated-industry controls (ISO 27001, ISO 13485) on request. Cloud cost optimization, AI-assisted alert analysis and root-cause suggestions, AI-generated Terraform modules and Helm charts reviewed by an engineer before they are deployed.

How an Engagement Starts

The first weeks follow the same steps for every client. You see the scope before you commit to it.
