Azure DevOps & Cloud Operations

Azure DevOps & Cloud Operations — Service Areas

eAppSys delivers end-to-end Azure DevOps & Cloud Operations Services across six core areas, from CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code to monitoring, FinOps, platform engineering, and managed Azure operations.

CI/CD Pipelines

  • Azure DevOps Pipelines — YAML pipeline design for app and IaC
  • GitHub Actions — workflows with OIDC authentication to Azure
  • Multi-stage pipelines with manual approval gates between environments
  • Azure Key Vault integration for secrets management in pipelines
  • Deployment strategies — rolling, blue/green, canary
  • Branch protection and least-privilege service principals

Infrastructure as Code

  • Bicep — Microsoft-native ARM language for Azure resource deployment
  • Terraform — multi-cloud or HashiCorp-standard environments
  • IaC module libraries — reusable Bicep/Terraform for landing zone components
  • Terraform remote state in Azure Storage with locking
  • IaC testing — Bicep linting, Terraform validate/plan
  • Azure Policy as code — definitions and assignments in pipeline

Azure Monitor & Observability

  • Log Analytics Workspace — design, retention, and data source config
  • Metric and log alerts — threshold-based and anomaly detection
  • Application Insights — APM for App Service, Functions, AKS
  • Azure Workbooks — custom operational dashboards per workload
  • Diagnostic settings — resource logs to Log Analytics or Event Hub
  • Distributed tracing — OpenTelemetry and Application Insights SDK

Cost Management & FinOps

  • Azure Cost Management — cost analysis, budget alerts, anomaly detection
  • Tagging policy enforcement — mandatory cost allocation via Azure Policy
  • Reserved Instance and Savings Plan purchase advisory
  • Hybrid Benefit analysis — Windows Server and SQL Server savings
  • Right-sizing — CPU, memory, and storage utilisation analysis
  • FinOps operating model — showback/chargeback for business units

Platform Engineering

  • Developer platform — Azure Developer Center, deployment environments
  • AKS cluster management, node pool upgrades, GitOps with Flux
  • Azure Update Manager — OS patching with defined maintenance windows
  • Azure Automation — runbook automation for routine operations
  • Service Health alerting for Azure service incidents
  • Capacity management — scaling recommendations and quota management

Managed Cloud Operations

  • 24/7 or business-hours Azure monitoring with defined SLAs
  • Incident management — severity-tiered response and root-cause analysis
  • Patch management — monthly OS patching via Azure Update Manager
  • Defender for Cloud alert triage and remediation
  • Monthly cost optimisation — right-sizing and Reserved Instance review
  • Monthly operations report — availability, incidents, cost, patching, security

Why eAppSys

Your Azure Partner

IaC by Default

eAppSys configures all Azure resources as Infrastructure as Code — Bicep or Terraform — version-controlled in Git, deployed through CI/CD pipeline. No manual production changes, no configuration drift.

Azure Monitor from Day One

Every eAppSys Azure engagement includes Azure Monitor — Log Analytics, alerts, Application Insights, and Workbook dashboards — operations starts informed, not reactive.

FinOps Built In

eAppSys establishes cost governance from the first deployment — tagging policies, budget alerts, Reserved Instance advisory, and right-sizing reviews included in every engagement.

Managed Operations Available

eAppSys provides 24/7 or business-hours managed Azure operations — monitoring, incident management, patching, cost optimisation, and monthly reporting.
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What Azure DevOps services does eAppSys provide?
eAppSys provides six areas: CI/CD Pipelines (Azure DevOps YAML, GitHub Actions, multi-stage, deployment strategies); Infrastructure as Code (Bicep, Terraform, module libraries, policy as code); Azure Monitor and Observability (Log Analytics, alerts, Application Insights, Workbooks, tracing); Cost Management and FinOps (Cost Management, tagging, Reserved Instances, Hybrid Benefit, right-sizing); Platform Engineering (AKS management, Update Manager, Automation, developer platform); and Managed Cloud Operations (24/7 monitoring, incident management, patching, Defender triage, monthly reporting).
eAppSys uses both. Bicep is recommended for Azure-only deployments — tightest Azure integration, immediate new feature support, no state file management. Terraform is recommended for multi-cloud infrastructure, existing HashiCorp enterprise IaC standards, or existing team Terraform expertise. For most Azure-only engagements, eAppSys defaults to Bicep with a modular library aligned to the Azure Landing Zone reference implementation.
eAppSys sets up CI/CD using Azure DevOps Pipelines or GitHub Actions — both with OIDC federated credentials (no long-lived service principal secrets), multi-stage pipelines with environment approval gates, Azure Key Vault for secrets, and deployment strategies (rolling, blue/green, canary) matched to availability requirements. Infrastructure and application changes have separate pipeline definitions.
Log Analytics Workspace as the central logging destination with retention policy and data source connections; metric and log-based alerts for platform and application health; Application Insights for APM — requests, dependencies, exceptions, and custom events; Azure Workbooks for operational dashboards tailored per workload; and diagnostic settings on all resources routing to Log Analytics.
24/7 or business-hours Azure monitoring with defined SLA response times; incident management with severity-tiered response and root-cause analysis; Azure Update Manager OS patching on a monthly schedule; Defender for Cloud alert triage and remediation; monthly cost optimisation review (right-sizing, Reserved Instances); and a monthly operations report covering availability, incident summary, patch compliance, cost trends, and security posture.
