Product companies without a dedicated platform team
Access accountable cloud and delivery operations without building every role and process internally.
Cloud, infrastructure, deployments, observability, backup, reliability, security, and cost operations
Rokad manages production cloud and DevOps operations across infrastructure, deployments, observability, incidents, backup, recovery, security, and cost.
Designed for / 01
Managed DevOps provides continuing ownership of the platform that runs software. Rokad establishes the baseline, access model, infrastructure code, deployment workflows, monitoring, incident handling, backup, recovery, security, upgrades, capacity, and service reporting.
Access accountable cloud and delivery operations without building every role and process internally.
Move infrastructure, releases, incidents, backups, access, upgrades, and cost work into a managed service.
Recover access, document architecture, identify risk, stabilise operation, and establish controlled ownership.
Challenges / 02
Credentials, commands, deployments, environments, incident knowledge, and vendor relationships are concentrated in a few people.
Alerts are disconnected from user impact, service ownership, runbooks, escalation, and diagnostic context.
Architecture, usage, capacity, commitments, backup, security, and service objectives are managed independently.
Capabilities / 03
Cloud, account, network, workload, access, vendor, and risk baseline
Infrastructure as code, configuration, environments, secrets, and identity
CI/CD, deployments, changes, approvals, migrations, and rollback
Metrics, logs, traces, alerts, synthetics, dashboards, and incident response
Backup, restore, recovery, continuity, capacity, performance, and availability
Security maintenance, patching, vulnerability, policy, and access review
Cost, tagging, budgets, utilisation, commitments, upgrades, and service reporting
Solution components / 04
Inventory, architecture, access, dependencies, infrastructure code, environments, vendors, risk, and ownership.
Requests, approvals, pipelines, deployments, migrations, validation, rollback, records, and communication.
Monitoring, alerts, incidents, capacity, availability, backup, recovery, security, and service health.
Coverage, targets, escalation, reporting, cost, risks, vendors, improvement backlog, reviews, and roadmap.
Use cases / 05
Operate environments, releases, databases, queues, storage, observability, backup, incidents, security, and cost.
Recover and document an existing estate, close urgent risk, establish service controls, and assume operations.
Own pipelines, configuration, deployments, promotions, migrations, validation, and rollback across environments.
Connect service targets, capacity, architecture, usage, commitments, incidents, and optimisation into one programme.
Architecture and integration / 06
Version, review, test, and deploy infrastructure and configuration rather than relying on undocumented console changes.
Organise telemetry and alerts around user journeys, workloads, dependencies, objectives, and required operator action.
Backups are not considered reliable until restore, data integrity, access, dependencies, and recovery procedures are tested.
Quality and control / 07
Identity, permissions, secrets, data boundaries, dependencies, change controls, and recovery are addressed throughout delivery.
Metrics, logs, traces, quality, cost, failures, and service outcomes are made visible and actionable.
Configuration, tests, infrastructure, pipelines, artefacts, changes, and recovery procedures are versioned and repeatable.
Delivery / 08
Clarify the objective, users, systems, constraints, dependencies, risks, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Define the target design, interfaces, controls, migration or delivery sequence, and operating model.
Implement in controlled increments with testing, review, documentation, observability, and stakeholder validation.
Establish ownership, service controls, measurement, support, and a prioritised improvement backlog.
Typical deliverables
Engagement models / 09
A bounded evidence review, target direction, prioritised risks, and executable next-stage plan.
A defined implementation, migration, prototype, procurement, or transformation outcome with acceptance criteria.
Specialists working alongside internal product, engineering, data, operations, security, or procurement teams.
Ongoing ownership, maintenance, monitoring, supplier coordination, reliability, security, and improvement.
Related capabilities / 10
Coordinate application releases, incidents, dependencies, and improvements with platform operation.
Maintain vulnerabilities, access, secrets, configuration, and security evidence.
Improve workload, database, infrastructure, network, and cost performance.
Cloud architecture, platforms, CI/CD, Kubernetes, security, reliability, and migration.
Custom applications, platforms, integrations, APIs, and software modernisation.
Data pipelines, platforms, warehouses, analytics engineering, BI, and governance.
FAQ
Scope, ownership, assumptions, delivery, security, and long-term operation are clarified before work begins.
Support can cover major cloud providers, managed platforms, container environments, hybrid systems, and selected hosting vendors depending on the estate and access model.
Coverage is defined commercially by service criticality, response targets, escalation, staffing, dependencies, and required access. Not every system requires continuous coverage.
Yes. We analyse utilisation, architecture, storage, traffic, databases, schedules, capacity, commitments, licences, idle resources, and ownership while protecting reliability.
Yes. We can own selected services, environments, on-call areas, projects, or platform operations while maintaining shared workflows and documentation.
Managed technology services
Rokad can take over the environment, close immediate risk, establish reliable operations, and maintain a continuous improvement programme.
