DevOps as a Service — Ongoing Automation & Infrastructure Support

Get a dedicated DevOps team on a monthly retainer. We own your pipelines, clusters, and cloud infrastructure so your engineers can focus entirely on product.

Most Startups Can't Afford a Full-Time DevOps Engineer

Senior DevOps engineers are expensive, hard to hire, and often underutilized at early-stage companies. A retainer gives you the expertise without the headcount.

Without Dedicated DevOps Support

  • Developers context-switch between product and infrastructure constantly
  • Pipeline breaks block the team — no one owns it end-to-end
  • Kubernetes clusters degrade over time — outdated versions, drifted config
  • Cloud costs creep up with no one actively monitoring them
  • Security patching gets deprioritized and falls behind
  • No on-call runbooks — incidents take hours to resolve

With Omphora as Your DevOps Team

  • Your developers focus 100% on product — we own the ops layer
  • Pipelines are maintained, upgraded, and improved continuously
  • Kubernetes clusters stay healthy — upgrades, security patches, and tuning
  • Monthly cost reports with proactive optimization recommendations
  • Security patches applied on schedule — no surprises
  • On-call runbooks written and maintained — fast incident resolution

What We Manage on Retainer

CI/CD Pipeline Management

We maintain, upgrade, and improve your GitHub Actions or GitLab CI pipelines. New services get pipelines built to the same standard. Build failures are our problem, not yours.

Kubernetes Cluster Operations

Version upgrades, node group management, pod autoscaling tuning, Helm chart updates, and ArgoCD application sync. Your clusters stay healthy and current without your team lifting a finger.

Terraform Infrastructure Management

All infrastructure changes go through code review and Terraform plans. We apply changes, manage state, and keep your IaC modules up to date with provider upgrades and security patches.

Cloud Cost Monitoring

Monthly cost reviews with recommendations. We alert on anomalies, identify new optimization opportunities, and implement approved changes — so your cloud bill stays predictable.

Security & Compliance Patching

Regular AMI and base image updates, dependency upgrades in pipelines, and IAM policy reviews. We keep your infrastructure ahead of CVEs and aligned with security best practices.

Incident Support & Runbooks

We write and maintain incident runbooks for your infrastructure. When something breaks, there's a clear playbook. For retainer clients, we're available for incident escalation during business hours.

Getting Started with DevOps as a Service

Onboarding

We get access to your AWS account, GitHub org, and existing infrastructure. We document everything we find and establish a baseline state.

Stabilise

We fix the most pressing issues first — broken pipelines, outdated clusters, security gaps. Within 2–4 weeks your infrastructure is in a healthy, known state.

Operate

Monthly cadence: review, optimize, and implement improvements. We handle all routine maintenance so your team never has to context-switch away from product.

Grow With You

As you add services, regions, or teams — we scale the infrastructure to match. New pipelines, new clusters, new cost strategies — all handled within the retainer.

Why DevOps as a Service Works for Startups

Fraction of Full-Time Cost

Senior DevOps engineers cost ₹25–50L/year plus benefits. A retainer gives you the same expertise for a fraction of that — with no hiring risk.

You Own Everything

All infrastructure is in your accounts and your repositories. We're an extension of your team — not a black box. You can walk away at any time with full ownership.

Scale Up or Down

Launch coming up? We can surge hours for the week. Quiet period? Scale down. Retainers are flexible — you're not locked into a fixed headcount.

Broad Expertise

One retainer gets you expertise across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and security — not just whatever a single hire happens to know.
