DevOps as a Service

DevOps as a Service means an external engineering team designs, builds and runs your delivery automation instead of you recruiting an in-house platform team. Aqvantiq covers six things — CI/CD pipelines, Terraform Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, GitLab instance management, monitoring, and DevSecOps — bought as a monthly retainer or a fixed-scope project. Take the whole set or only the parts you are missing.

Yes — Amazon EKS, Google Kubernetes Engine, Huawei Cloud CCE and Azure AKS, plus self-managed clusters where policy requires them. Cluster, namespace and ingress design, autoscaling, and a rehearsed upgrade path are all in scope. Kubernetes is one of the three things that make up most of the work here, alongside Terraform and GitLab, and it is bought as a retainer or a fixed-scope project.

Yes — across Malaysia and Thailand, on all five platforms. Reusable modules, remote state with locking, plans reviewed in merge requests, real module boundaries, and hand-built environments brought under code with terraform import rather than rebuilt. Every module and runbook lands in your own repository, in your own account, so the code is yours from day one.

Yes — for organizations in Malaysia and Thailand. GitLab instance management is one of the six things DevOps as a Service covers: self-managed upgrades, runner fleets sized to real load, rehearsed restores, and migrations run structure-first with a trial before the real cutover. GitLab CI/CD is also one of the three pipeline tools we build on, alongside GitHub Actions and Jenkins.

Yes. That is the most common starting point. We begin with the deployment path: get releases repeatable and scripted, put the infrastructure that supports them into Terraform, then add monitoring and pipeline security. Your developers keep writing application code while the platform work happens alongside them.

Yes. Cloud accounts, Git repositories and Terraform state stay yours. We work through scoped roles and named users in your tenancy, and every pipeline, module and runbook we write lives in your repository. If the engagement ends, nothing has to be handed back because nothing was ever held hostage. Starting from zero? We can also create the cloud accounts for you — managed by us or handed to your team, as agreed — with cloud usage always billed directly to you.

Yes. Huawei Cloud is rare among Malaysian cloud consultancies, and we treat it as a first-class target alongside AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and DigitalOcean. Pipelines deploy to Huawei Cloud the same way they deploy anywhere else: Terraform for the infrastructure, container images for the workload, and the same review gates. See our Huawei Cloud services.

Yes, and without rebuilding it. Existing resources are adopted with terraform import so production keeps running while it comes under code. From there you get remote state with locking per environment, plans reviewed in merge requests, and drift detection on a schedule — because the console change someone made at 2am is the one that breaks the next deploy.

Both. We run upgrade paths against the supported version sequence, size runner autoscaling to real pipeline load, and rehearse restores into a scratch instance so you know how long recovery actually takes. Migrations between instances or into GitLab.com run by Direct Transfer or export and import, depending on version and network constraints.

With a short review of your current pipelines, infrastructure, cloud accounts and access model. That produces a written findings list, ordered by risk, and a proposed scope. From there it becomes either a fixed-scope project or a monthly retainer. No discovery workshop that ends in a slide deck.

Not automatically — it is a different cost shape. A hire is a fixed salary and statutory cost every month whether or not there is platform work; a retainer or fixed scope is sized to the work you actually have. If you have enough steady platform work to keep an engineer busy all year, hire. Our full comparison guide works through both.

Yes. The same group of engineers deliver across Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, so a group with entities in both countries gets one delivery team and one standard rather than two vendors. See DevOps as a Service in Thailand.
